blasted clocks

[incandescens]

Watching good DVDs is fun, but watching them with someone else (froodle) who hasn't yet seen them and is enjoying them for the first time is even more fun.

Only 8.5 squares to go on the ongoing blanket project. And a lot of sewing in of ends. I hate sewing in ends.

I wish I could come up with some incredibly cool way to blend my interests in knitting/yarn/etc into my Metaplace beta, but skill and inspiration are lacking. (Note: this is a thought expressed at nearly 2am, and while I am thinking it, I do not seriously expect an answer.)

. . . make that nearly 1am. Forgot the blasted clocks doing their blasted thing. In England, at least.

The Doctor: I had no idea we were so far out. Verona, that's irony for you.
Tegan: What is?
The Doctor: Verona is where one of the last surviving groups of mankind took shelter when the great ... er ... yes, well, I suppose you've got all that to look forward to.
Tegan: When the great what, Doctor?
The Doctor: Well, all civilisations have their ups and downs.

The Doctor: Yes, that's enough Turlough.

Well, blasted clocks, but you've gotten your hour of sleep back again.

This is true. (heads off to enjoy it)

20-something years down the road, that bit of dialog makes it sound like Turlough just pulled up Wikipedia and started quoting. ^__^

From what I remember of Turlough, he's the sort of person who would have contributed to wikipedia. And then got into flame wars. :)

I saw, someplace, a way to knit things up so you don't have to sew ends in. I'll have to see if I can find it again. I discovered today the local yarn shop offers a service where they'll sew ends in for you for a fee. LOL! I was walking past and couldn't resist going in to pet the yarn. Such pretty textures and colors, it was as good as the fabric shop.

Heh. I don't hate it quite so much that I'll pay the yarn shop to do it -- not on this project, at least. And I totally understand going in to pet the yarn.
