After yesterday morning's excitement, the rest of the day felt painfully slow. I was glad when 5 finally hit and I could go home.

Ben and I bought celebration tacos. Then we played video games until bedtime. FFTA is silly and fun. Though I wish I could finish it faster. I want to go back to playing zelda so ben is forced to play phoenix wright. Then when he finishes that, I'll be able to play it!

Today is extremely slow, but I think that is because it is friday. Fridays are always long.

This weekend I have many grand goals and plans. Tonight I am going to make cupcakes to bring to anime club tomorrow. They are showing TWO shows I want to watch now, so I guess I have to show up. Sometime tomorrow afternoon I think I might go find that yarn shop. I'm stealing cassandra's plan and will buy small amounts at a time to avoid realizing the painful cost. I hope the store will have what I need, or at least can help me find a suitable substitution. And then I'll have something to do while ben is off taking his driving lessons on sunday. It'll take me at least a day to relearn how to cast on. I ALWAYS forget how to do that.

And wow, it is REALLY windy today. I hope my dog doesn't blow away during our walk later.

Everytime I do a knitting project I have to reteach myself casting on and binding off. I take it as a matter of course.

I guess it's cause you knit and purl fifty billion times and get lots of practice, but you cast on just once!

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who forgets it all the time though. I feel a lot less dumb. ^^;

Believe me, you're not the only one.

Fortunately, every knitting book ever has instructions on it so it's usually no biggie to glance at it and get started or finished.

For some reason I always get confused by the casting on directions in my snb book. (Everything else, the directions are fine!) I end up having to go to one of those sites that has the videos of people knitting and relearn from that.

Once while waiting on a line to get a book signed I realized I forgot to cast on before I left the house. I had to beg another girl on the line to reteach me. :P Kinda embarrassing!

I actually like the Stitch n Bitch better than I do another of my books. But I think it really depends on the person, as to how they see it, you know?

That's really kinda cute but I can understand the embarassment.

All the other directions in the snb book are great, but for some reason my brain just can't wrap around casting on. It's so weird! It actually almost prevented me from learning how to knit! (It's the first step!) Good thing I had someone around at the time who showed me. :P

Hhahah sometimes we just need a little hands on help. I know I do.
