I think anyone in the SCA is going to score higher than a non SCA person. I scored 92, supreme nerd, but I bow to the nerd god.

microblogging and commission knitting

Many months back I decided I wanted to try Twitter . While I was working, and had things to say, I did good at posting my 140 or characters or less. Since then I created a Plurk account. I haven't been as good about posting to my Plurk account , as I don't have as many followers there. For those of you who don't know, microblogging is a way to just put a short, 140 character or less, posting to a site, where others can see what you are doing at the time. A few posts back I mentioned a baby hat and blanket that I was commissioned to do. I just finished the hat this weekend. I haven't taken the time to take pictures of it yet, but I will get a picture soon, and I will post it as soon as I do. I'm pretty happy with the hat. I started the blanket today. It will be concentric squares, starting with black, using narrow bands of white to separate the black and red sections.

SCA and Christmas presents

I have been busy as usual. I had a big weekend. I was the head waterbearer for a small war in my medival recreationist group. This basically means that I was reasponsible for making sure that all of the fighters and populace are well hydrated. It was alot of walking and driving around the site, but it was rewarding and satisfying. On a more fiber related note, my wife and I have figured out what we are making for Christmas presents. I'm making a scarf and hat set for my mother-in-law, a hat for my brother-in-law, mittens for my father-in-law, a scarf for my sister, and a special somethign for my wife. The hats won't be too bad, as they will be done on a circle loom, and I can normally make one in a couple hours. The mittens will also be done on circle looms. This is a pattern that I have never done before, so I have no idea how long it will actually take. It is the scarves that I'm worried about getting done on time. I'm doing the scarves on needles, and I'

and there is a new project in progress

I'm almost done with the first mitten for my great aunt-in-law. I have less than an inch to knit on the thumb and then I'm done with the first mitten. I would have been much further along on this, and possibly done, but my wife and I spent a long weekend over the 4th of July with her parents. The recipient of the mittens live with my in-laws, so I couldn't work on that present while I was there. So I decided to work on a kitchen set that will be the Christmas present for my sister. We stopped at Joann's on the way out of town, as I knew from the pattern that i needed a bulky yarn. I found a nice variegated yarn and we headed to the mountains of North Carolina. When we got there and settled down I pulled out the pattern. I then noticed that this is a felting project. I checked my new yarn, and it was only 20% wool. I knew there was a yarn shop in town, so the next day I headed down to town and picked up some nice 100% wool yarn. I got the two pot holders knitt
