oceantheorem: (knit harry potter)
My brilliant idea to wear myself out yesterday by not taking a nap failed horribly. I went to bed at 11:30 and woke up at 4 am. Luckily, after about 15 minutes I was able to get myself to go back to sleep, but then I had the WORST NIGHTMARE EVER. Okay, it wasn't the worst one ever, but it was pretty bad. I don't usually dream about people trying to murder me. And, predictably, into this nightmare my brain worked in something that is always in my nightmares: a complete inability to scream. I'm in dire need of help, I get the merest window of an opportunity to escape danger, I open my mouth to scream for help... and nothing comes out. At all. And then I'm back in danger and have no hope of being rescued.

Anyway...

Yesterday I made a dice bag for D&D. It's big enough to hold my special set of dice, plus Jaden, plus the metric shit-ton of d6s I plan to eventually get. And yet, it's very tiny! It's a miraculous Bag of Dice Holding. Level 3 Magic Item, carries up to 10 lbs but never weighs more than 6 oz.
Since I knit the whole thing (on size 2 dpns, thankyouverymuch) in one day, I think I'm going to knit a few more (on size 4 circs...? I need a bigger collection of dpns, apparently) for friends.

I also started a dishcloth yesterday, but I'm using needles two sizes too big, so it's kind of... towel-sized.... I think I need more needles in general... Okay, maybe I just need to finish a project once in a while, so I don't have to buy a new set of needles every time I cast on for something.

Speaking of which, the wedding blanket is coming along splendidly. I've seamed almost half the seams I need to seam. And I figured out how to do the border, mostly, so it should only take a few tries of picking up stitches, knitting for a day, ripping it all out, screaming, and starting over before it's finished. Hurrah! The end is in sight!
As I noted in the project comment on Ravelry for this blanket: I love the yarn. I love the pattern. I love my cousin. I HATE SEAMING. I will never, ever, ever, EVER knit a blanket in pieces EVER again. This is a good thing to know about oneself.

Anyway. More cleaning, then off to see the boy! Perhaps I will finish his hat sometime this century. I might actually be able to even though one of the needles broke... We will see!
