I’ve just started a knitted lace shawl in a varigated red/brown. Beautiful thing. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/evenstar-shawl
No idea if I /can/ knit it. I’ve done just one project on DPN (20 years ago nearly) and never used a circular needle, but..it was too gorgeous to resist.

Oooooooooooo that’s a pretty shawl. I like the dress interpretation of it too. Not that I would ever wear a woollen dress. Will head over to our Ravelry forum now. I have almost finished the poncho, have done about 5 rows on the second partial sleeve, so it will be completed tomorrow. Hooray.

Currently re-watching Sherlock (The Brit one with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman)
It is sublime.
I loved it anyway, but one more reason I love it was when I watched the first ep. A little in a character describes Sherlock as a ‘Psychopath’. My immediate responce was to say ‘He’s not a psychopath, he’s a high-functioning sociopath’. (OK, both diagnoses have issues). Later in the ep, someone calls him a psychopath to his face, and his responce ? ‘I’m not a psychopath, I’m a high-functioning sociopath’.
Word for word what I said! I love writers on that sort of link to my brain 🙂
Oh pallygirl, I am way too late to be helpful, but I was going to suggest a half-teaspoon of grapeseed oil with the tablet. When I was having trouble with swallowing Triprim tabs (for some reason those tiny little tablets stuck to my throat every. damn. time.) I just coated ’em in grapeseed oil and they went down a treat. One bonus was I couldn’t even taste ’em, and since it wasn’t “wet” the tabs stayed intact.
I chose grapeseed ’cause it has virtually no flavour, but if you’d like something else with some taste I presume it’d work just fine too! Although it looks like Nutella is serving you just fine. 🙂
Sitting eating cottage pie at 0430.
I’m not sure if this counts as good or bad.
Bad – I woke up and realised that I hadn’t eaten a single meal yesterday.
Good – I actually got up and made a meal.
You know, it’s kinda nice having a space to say things about my normal life, without being accused of being crazy or scaremongering. I could even get used to it.

It’s a ready made pie from a very high quality meat supply service. I stock up on their products when there is a sale, or my parents insist on me having good meat and pay for it.
As I’ve mentioned elseThread, I have events like waking up in the early morning and realising I hadn’t eaten the day before, so like to have some ‘shove in oven for full meal’ stuff in the freezer. I enjoy cooking myself, but sometimes I just can’t make myself do it.
We’re doing blood glucose check on each other for the practice. My partner goes first, reaches to feel my hands. Face gets comically shocked: “Are you dead?!?!” Reaches for wrist to feel pulse…
Glories of low circulation and cool hands: he had to stab every finger before he finally got a decent drop. At least now he knows how to do it on freezer-fingers like me!

Oooh again – I was just checking in on our WHTM Ravelry board and saw this ad en route. SUCH a beautiful jumper.

I’ve never tried Nutella, but it sounds like it’d do the trick (fingers crossed).
Hey, if you really hate Vegemite, at least it’d distract you from how horrible the tablet is. 😛
Oh, saw on Ravelry you fixed the eye on the fox cape – yay!
I’ve started an August projects thread there, btw.
It is a nice yarn, isn’t it? It’s not as blue as it looks on my computer; the purples go from greyish to a sort of eggplant.

It worked, hooray, I could barely taste it.

I did use soft-centred fruit chocs to take tabs for a while.
Ooooooooo hadn’t thought of soft-centred fruit chocs. They definitely qualify as food too. 🙂
Gratz auggz, I hope it works out well. Thanks for the further explanation, I was wondering. 🙂
Congrats Auggziliary. 🙂

Good – I actually got up and made a meal.
Still not hungry though :/
Was it a nice cottage pie?
A bit heavy on the rosemary, and I like rosemary with beef.
Haven’t slept since yesterday (what’s that? 32 hours now?).
Ate cottage pie because I love it, and it’s easy to make, and mashing potatoes is distracting.
I’m going to go with “Is good, you had meal and thus took care of yourself, despite not being hungry”.
Also it was cottage pie. THat’s just good overall.
Congrats Auggziliary, that sounds fun. Good luck to you and yours 🙂

That sounds good. Internet anonymity is sometimes even useful, who’d’ave’thunk?
Seriously, though. I have a very important question.
Rosemary? Really? In the pie and all? What mysterious recipe is that?
Get used to it. XD
Seriously, we’re here for you if you need us.

Wow, you seem pretty normal to me.
gilshalos, seconding the Ooooooohs about that shawl, it’s beautiful.
It is nice to have somewhere to say “I did this or that”. Especially for those of us who can’t be stuffed maintaining our own blogs. 😉
pallygirl, oh noes, am I gonna get booted off Team Ostraya now, d’you think?
… Wait, that might be a good thing.
