Little known knitting fact...

msfledermausIf you listen to something like Ministry while you knit, it goes *really* fast.
When I got home last night the wind was up to 45 miles an hour, so dangerous we couldn't run the crane at work. So after a brief but rewarding stop for milk and whatnot, I made peanut curry with chicken and pulled out my current knitting project--a lacy red shawl, suitable for wearing while jumping up and down in clubs. "Naaah...I think I need some instant gratification here" I muttered, and dug into my yarn-box for some white and off-white acrylic I had in there. An hour and a half later...potholders with skulls on them...or maybe quilt squares...or patches for a jacket...squares are like that. Anyway, the point was the funky skulls. And I felt much better with the wind blowing outside and my stomach full of curry and the needles flying.
Maybe I'll try some bobbles and find a way to work them into the skulls...eyeballs, perhaps? Eew.
Some weird Mausi knitting fun-facts:
I can knit and read if it's something really simple I'm knitting.
I was reading Harry Potter and knitting last night, but I had to stop when I was making eyes and shaping the skull.
I can do cables now....I am now a deadly, Celtic-knotwork-making Maus.
I usually listen to either Rasputina, Cocteau Twins, Portishead or KMFDM while I knit. Yes, this affects my knitting.
Otherwise? Life is the usual...right now it's kind of cold and hurty.
Outside Is Bad. But I'll bring the yarn and knit at lunch. MMm, yarn!
