in which I incriminate myself

Lila: [yelling loudly]
Me: Awww, that's Mommy's little bundle of rage.

EG: Amazing how much of that stuff is genetic, isn't it?

when swatching manages to be fun...

mixing it all up:

subtly varigated deep magenta mohair in two textures: one ordinary, one boucle.  have what I suspect is 1200 yards of the ordinary stuff, noticeably less of the other.  Giant spool of slubby pink & black yarn that I've spoken of here before, and another giant spool of mustardy-gold thread (just gold colored; not metallic,  unfortunately). Orange-and-pink ladder ribbon, 600 yards.   Lavender/pink/pale orange one-ply probably-silk, also not lots. 

The weights and textures are all so different and it's definitely fun to knit them up in various ways and see what happens. 

( wanna see? )

oops. sorry if that was your friends page I just mashed...

Bad fancy HTML editor! Do not plop down close-tags immediately after open-tags that you do not recognise. Now, say you're sorry to all these nice people who had to suffer that empty lj-cut tag before I caught it.

And: what is up with the randomly appearing borders on images?

(playing with windows live writer beta. it's sometimes fun, except it's stupid and annoying in the same way these sorts of editors are always stupid and annoying. I waste more time fixing the things they do wrong than I would composing the HTML by hand, often. Still prefer Semagic if I'm going to use a windows lj editor. It's straightforward and it stays out of my way.)

edit: though it appears to be lj's own editing interface that inserted a </lj-cut> immediately after the open tag! harrumph.
