open along edge, plz
I had a pretty awesome weekend.
My stomach really really hurts on my one day to not have to study or work. Grrrrr.
I'm learning how to spin and dye my own yarn soon, within the next two months or so. I have too much on my plate at the moment to pick up this particular new hobby as quickly as I'd like but I am, as always, exceedingly excited. I refuse to be bad at this craft as well. I went shopping today at thrift stores to see if I could pick up some recycled yarn as well or old sweaters to unravel and reuse the thread. I've lately been into the thought of becoming more personal and intimate with the craft of knitting. It's cool to make something for someone, sure, but I think it may be even cooler to have made the yarn that you made it out of be handspun and dyed and/or personally modified to make unique. I'll stop here before I start to sound sickeningly hipster.
My typical artist optimism cup overfloweth.
This small bit of insight to my life is being cut short by the pervasive pain in my abdomen. I'm going to go lay down now.

Excellent! I shall begin saving my dog’s hair at once. He’s a 95 pound black lab, so it shouldn’t take too long to collect enough for a nice hat/gloves/scarf set.
Let me know when you need me to purchase that copy of http://www.amazon.com/Knitting-Dog-Hair-Better-Sweater/dp/0312152906/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257884898&sr=1-2 for you.

The idea of doing something like that Rob honestly makes me gag a little. =P For reals.
