msfledermaus...I woke up from this strange dream about saving the life of a buffalo calf from this kind of mean person, and taking it to a cave a' la Valley of Horses and feeding him and combing out his shedding coat and spinning it into wool. I made a colored woven belt to give to the mean guy as payment for sparing the life of the calf.
I woke up with this burning desire to relearn to knit. I'd taught myself out of a book when I was a child, but had forgotten over the years. I have no knitting needles and no yarn, buffalo calf or otherwise...but I have embroidery thread and ...hmm...hairsticks!!!
Now with some experimentation, I relearned how to cast-on...I have a neat row of stitches, just as I remembered they should look. Of course, now I'm done with my experimental first row..I'm stumped. Something about a stitch and casting the stiches onto the other needle one by one. I have to look up some knitting sites today, I think. And later if it's not too cold go yarn shopping.
How many of you have had dreams that jump-started old skills? Tell me about them; I'm very curious.
*drinks hot tea for still-scratchy throat*

Date: 2003-01-12 08:19 am (UTC)I love cheap books... I got a 1/2 price mystery in paperback and left it at Chicago O'Hare... I went and got another copy later, which cost me another 50% of the original price, so I broke even for my stupidity. That's the best odds I can hope for when I have a lapse of brain function... ;)
I want to meet Anne Rice some day...
