Daniel Deronda Quotations
May. 7th, 2011 10:14 am"No chemical process shows a more wonderful activity than the transforming influence of the thoughts we imagine to be going on in another. Changes in theory, religion, admirations, may begin with a suspicion of dissent or disapproval, even when the grounds of disapproval are but matter of searching conjecture" (361).

I haven't seen a mantis in a long while! Maybe one of this one's children will be waiting to say hello when I go back to visit family next week...

The lighting doesn't really convey the color it worked out to be at all, (it's much more blue when this camera isn't making artistic decisions for it,) but I think the hue variation at least shows up a bit.
Today I am playing a game I like to call Pretend To Be Productive.
It involves me posting my projects on Ravelry (which is exciting; I love Ravelry!) in the hope that some bored soul on the knitterwebs will see it and think I'm doing things with my life other than delaying this whole studying business, thus somehow translating into me actually having accomplished something... (?)
In the spirit of such things it seemed only right to include it in my personal journal, in the hope that Future Me will see it and think I'm doing something with my life et cetera et cetera.
Hey Future Me! I am knitting an alpaca scarf in the summertime.
Crafting- Zigzag Bag

I started this pattern as something to occupy my hands during movies and then had to figure out what to do with it and it eventually just turned into a pouch. Credit to the five-year-old next to me during a long plane flight for her excellent advice and some help stitching too. We agreed that we could make it look like a hungry critter with a big mouth using button eyes. (Hence the paper arms I gave him for the purposes of his fashion shoot.) His name is Ziggy.
