I've started knitting.
My new and wonderful friend Sarah has taken to showing me this lovely new obsession on the weekends. It's great. I'm in love. My first project is a scarf, as most new knitters tend to do. It's really hard to put it down once I get going. Seeing it grow with each new row of stitches is such a wonderful feeling. The moment it got to the point that it was longer than it was wide, I was in knitting heaven. I think it's safe to say I've found a new hobby.
There's this website, www.ravelry.com, that is filled to the brim with amazingly nerdy patterns. Harry Potter and Doctor Who are well represented, which means I've found a way to make personalized Christmas/Birthday presents for all those people in my life who live and breath fandom, of which I know quite a few.
Also, I'm going to make a Dalek hat and possibly a TARDIS potholder. Maybe a Sonic the Hedgehog hat for Ben.
If ever I disappear off the face of the interwebs, it's probably because I can't be bothered to put down the knitting needles. Sorry.
