Random thoughts from another dilettante

I joined the knitting forums run by angel yarns last night. They have tales of sock dragons and lace dragons, and generally lots of good knitting stuff.

Today I was eager to join in the fun.

Did I?

1. immediately cast on a new and exciting knitting project


2. finish off an old and boring knitting project, so I had mental space to cast on a new and exciting knitting project later


3. finish off some non-knitting UFO, so I could cast on a new and exciting knitting project later

or


4. decide to start some completely unrelated non-knitting embroidery project

Er, the last option. I started a kit I bought at the Knitting and Stitching show from Needleworks. It is a fairly small project, which should only take a few evenings. I might send it to swop partner, which gives me a perfect excuse not to pfaff round taking photos etc.

In other news, I got my copy of the "Proud to be Crafty" 'zine from Little Lixie yesterday. She has useful info, as how to make an oyster card holder and the parts of sheep.
