I don't know when to stop...

I haven't updated for a few days, because this is my busiest time of the year. Musical time. I'm juggling all sorts of things, although I think I'll try and get a photo of the fake flowers and fruit and meat and whatnot that I've made into trays for "Who will buy". The Rose Seller's is particularly impressive. It can also be held upside down with nary a rose out of place. And the fake meat tray is just....wrong.

Okay, my week of exciting mail didn't finish with K9. *I STILL DON'T KNOW WHO K9 IS! YOU PEOPLE WHO KNOW, YOU'RE BIG BLUE MEANIES*

Look!


Pirate socks and a Jack Skellington case. Which now holds my crochet hooks, being exactly the right size to do so! Thanks a million, Veritas! The case is perfect, and the socks not only fit, they passed the test of approval by Fagin's gang!

I'll be needing those hooks. I've managed to join not one, but two CALs, having decided not to go timidly into crochet. One is the and the other is the . I have made several butterflies (okay, they're a bit wobbly), and a failed attempt at a hat. I'm also up to the sleeves on the world cup cardigan. My, don't I feel accomplished!

I am also loving the new Knitty. I have got inspired, and organised, and now I have:
- a folder on my computer called "yarn"
- two RL folders on my desk, one with printed out knitting patterns, and one with printed out crochet patterns (otherwise I bookmark them and forget about them)
- a spreadsheet (yeah, I know, I've moved into the dark side) with my planned projects on it.

Ah. Now. For Monkeemaven, in the hope that I can barter it for information about the identity of K9, the grossest food I will eat. This is seitan. It's basically wheat gluten. Mid-preparation. MmmmmMMmmm.

Yeah, I know it looks nasty. But you can't buy it here. Hence, I make it. Though recently, I've been making quesidillas. I'd actually forgotten that they existed. Silly, silly me.
