I have a goal. I hope to finish several projects I have in progress (and this has nothing to do with my strict yarn diet, nothing at all ;)). I have a pair of socks, if you count the one finished and the 4 different socks not yet to the heel. I have a sweater (which I have been making progress on!) and Brett's scarf (which still bores me to death). I have finished a shrug and a pair of monster booties for Lily.
So the sweater. I'm making the Military Cardigan and it is a very fiddly pattern, which makes it all the more interesting to me. The back is done and I'm halfway up the right side. It is coming along nicely and I do promise some pictures soon.
As for the dramas, I just need to rant for a minute. Not too long, or I'll get all riled up.
Republicans in general anger me. If it's not the foot dragging when it comes to passing anything Obama proposes (and why? so they can say he didn't do anything or come through on any of his promises?) it's backpedaling on their own party line because Obama acts on it (Drill baby drill, unless Obama says so!). And in today's world I had hoped silly things like discrimination would be a thing of the past, but alas being gay in the military loses wars (because God knows straight male soldiers don't rape and harass female soldiers, it's only those sex crazed homosexuals!) and being immodest causes earthquakes (is it wrong that I kinda wanted boobquake to cause a massive one?).
And I'm done for the moment. Yes, more pisses me off, but I'd like to keep a civil tongue and at the moment coffee along with silent contemplation will suit my goals. And knitting, I may have to go get that sweater and knit a bit.
J.
