kittydesadeI am on the needles of a dilemma here, although I think I've solved it by the simple expedient that I can't fucking trust the boyfiend not to wash my precious knitted things so everything has to be superwash yarn. Grump grump grumble. But, so, okay, the dilemma is this. I'm working on Celestarium again and when that's done I had the brilliant idea that I would start up another Celestarium, maybe without beads this time (or at least without beads at the time) with switching the color of the yarn to a rainbow pattern. I would call it Bifrost.
I found a sale on Webs for some superwash worsted and superwash DK in various colors for less than 4$ per ball, ending today, but I also have undesignated as yet Hikoo Sueno which is also superwash and kind of more expensive but I have three skeins already and would only need two more to make five colors which is probably enough for a minimal Bifrost. But if I got some of the yarn from Webs I could make a 7-8 color Bifrost for the same money and have the Sueno left over for later and. I DON'T KNOW. Dilemma. Decisions. Argh.
(It doesn't help that this is one of the immediate buy-now-or-pay-more-later sales and I'm trying to only do one indulgence per paycheck, I was already going to do two this paycheck because the face soap I use is on sale, this would make three whole indulgences.)
(None of which are very expensive I'm just being super responsible-spending conscious right now. And it's entirely possible the same sales or a cheating equivalent thereof [buying through the store] will exist later. Benefits to working in a family LYS.)
Mostly I just really like the idea of doing a Bifrost star shawl.
Changing around my languages to the evening will, I think, work as long as I do them around dinner, when I get home. That seems to be when my mind is sharpest and when I'm least likely to run into time crunch issues so I can spend an amount of time on each language and not worry about it. Plus it's a good way to wind down from the stresses of the day, doing languages always cheers me up even if it makes me swear at all the sounds I can't make because I didn't grow up speaking this language.
Writing continues apace. Other stuff continues apace, it's almost time for craft fair season which means I am making ALL the freaking kits. Which I should actually get back to. I'm not sure, the stuff I'm talking about most often now is knitting simply because otherwise, what, I say "I got X words done today in this project, finished this, did that." I'm not having any major revelations about any project or editing, is what I'm saying. Other than if I want two boring male stoic protagonists in search of a manic pixie dream girl who fall in love I may have inadvertently written them in the novels I'm working on/just published. Oops.
(I also need to get back to doing some intensive reading, but I think I've only just started to regain the most basic of routines post-DragonCon, so. Maybe over the course of the next ten days.)
