Create52

My challenge for the year 2007 was to make up a website from scratch without using smelly dreamweaver cheatiness. Mike's was to learn rummy, which later changed to poker. I guess there's still 10 days left, so what's the hurry? Plenty of time.

The challenge for next year has just been set in the shape of Create52, and may actually have a greater chance of being met with some sort of determination and enthusiasm. The plan is to create 52 project thingees and put them up here, one a week.

See how that one goes...

Why I shouldn't be allowed anywhere near proper nice yarn

You know Sharon, right. She gave me a very nice book, along with some looooovely yarn, and knitting needles made out of pure gold for my birthday this year. So, off I went and made myself some pointless gloves, as I'd been meaning to do for a while. Now, their fingertip-warm-keeping performance was, admittedly, below average, but they were nice and fluffy and *SO* much more practical than other gloves or mittens when it came to folding prams one-handedly, or stopping that poisonous peed-on shard of glass from reaching a certain boy's mouth.

And then I washed them.
Aaaaaarrgh!
