(no subject)

I have been learning to knit. Well, I always meant to and last Friday I pestered my friend J into teaching me and she set me up with some needles and some yarn and instructions for a washcloth.

I have just finished this washcloth.

OH MY GOD, I HAVE CREATED A THING FROM A PILE OF WHAT IS ESSENTIALLY STRING.

Excuse me while the dizzying high of having made something out of nothing, basically, wears off. I may start calling myself "Creatrix" or something to compensate.

I am ridiculously excited. Tomorrow next year's roommates and I are going to a crafts shop so I can pet yarn and pick something for my next project based on what feels nicest and after that what is prettiest. Oooh, the texture.

Eventually I may post pictures but for now I am late to dog class!
