So here I am on a Sunday night catching up on my blogging. It's about 1230 and I have open lessons tomorrow so I need to get to bed soon, but I had some pics I wanted to post. Plus I slept in a lot today, since I didn't go to SnB and I was sick.
What goes first... here. Yesterday was Worldwide Knit in Public Day, so the Seoul SnBers had a bit of a celebration. I didn't take my camera, but I will share some of the amazing-ness when it is posted somewhere else. We all met up at Seoul Arts Center, and we knit, and took pics, and traded yarn and did a fun quiz and Nikki gave away hand-dyed yarn. She and Carson showed off their spinning, and I'll be damned if it didn't look cool and I wanna try. But I have enough projects on my mind right now without adding more. Might start spinning later when I design this shawl and need some appropriately colored laceweight. (Yeah, I wanna design a lace shawl. So what? :P)
The trading was awesome - I got rid of a bunch of yarn I had leftover from projects/stashed and didn't want. And I got some new stuff!
We're also knitting a blanket, and raffling it to give the money to a charity that works with victims of sexual violence here in Korea. ('cause they don't know what it is, for the most part) it's going to be patchwork, with all of us knitting squares. I decided to put together various things that I knew I would never use for anything else (Yes, you, Lion Brand chenille!) and make up some squares. I have til the end of the month to finish them, but here are two I did last night. I'm really proud of them - I think they will make great additions, besides being a tad too big. Oh well, gives them character.
One is blue chenille and sparkly eyelash yarn, and the other is some black acrylic held with a black/gold sparkly thing the woman at the Gangnam store gave me. She likes to give stuff like that when you buy things, so I thought I would put it to good use. Both of them look surprisingly good - just normal garter, but nice. I have some more I'm thinking of, and will probably do another one tomorrow.
Did I mention I started my first sock a couple weeks ago? Yeah I know I am slow - I've been working on it in bits and pieces, cause both my shirt and my shawl are nearing their ends. I found a crochet edging for the shawl and I am about to cast of the sleeves for my shirt. I need to get some beads... have to get up and go to ddm some saturday. Anyway, here is the sock!
And then when I got home, there was this waiting for me.
Just in case you can't see from the picture, the paper was in a plastic sheet protector. And he shredded that to get to the paper inside. He's been doing this a lot lately, and so I went and got him some new toys and chewy things to help out with that. No dice, apparently. Now he's sleeping all cute on my bed, but last night, he stayed in the bathroom for a good few hours before i decided to let him out. UGH!!!! I'm really not sure what to do. It's not like he doesn't have things to chew on, or toys. I know he gets bored, but there's not much I can do about that - I leave the door open for him to play on the balcony during the day. I could leave him in the bathroom, but that would be mean. Still, I'm not sure what else would work. I probably shouldn't leave stuff out, but hell if I know what he's going to try chewing on next.
Okay, and now it's 1 am and I need to get to bed. I still have planning to do for Thailand/Ashley's wedding/home trip tomorrow, and parents to impress as well. Oh, and I need a shower before work. At least I don't have to worry about my car payment anymore.
