poutling!
Relaxed day, decent fun. I slept for a long time and had the kind of dreams where you're mad at who- or what-ever wakes you up, because you want to find out what happens next. Eventually I did get up, and then Tom came over here and we all sat and watched Prime Suspect 2, which is good, and infuriating. Sexism and racism are the two major subjects of the show, once you get past the mystery plot. I am proud to say that I figured out the killer as soon as I saw them, this time, based on the mannerisms of the other suspects.
While watching the show I worked on the heel of a sock, which requires a lot of attention and work because it isn't just knitting in a circle. I've made the heel flap and gusset and now I'm joining it all together. I almost always have a sock going as a small portable project, which I work on while watching TV or at ppl's houses or waiting in line for things, but this one is really gorgeous, made of Koigu handpainted merino wool, and I want to finish the sock before it gets really cold. The heel and toe are the only places where I have to pay attention to instructions, so I usually knit those parts at home when I can keep careful track of what I'm doing.
I still haven't finished "Sueet Suede" from spring Knitty. Garter-stitch straps are no fun. The lining isn't going to be any fun. I don't like working with Berroco "Suede" yarn - it's prone to catching on hangnails and stuff. I have hated making the project, but I'll like using it when it's done.
Found out tonight that, while the library has almost all of Ayashi no Ceres on DVD, for some reason they have no copies in any format of the fifth disc. There are 8 volumes of 3 episodes each. Weird! Uncool! I guess I'll just read synopses of those episodes?
