"Mmmorr. Bebeeees." But mostly just yarn-talk.

Indeed, whenever I turn on the computer now, Rachel thinks I'm going to open up the "bebeees" program to show her pictures of babies. (Well, pictures of herself, toddlers are narcissistic that way, right?) This goes for the cameras in the house, and actually hinders any sort of recording to the point where getting anywhere productive with a video or stillshot involved a lot of ninja-work:

- Keep the camera hidden
- Make noise to mask the blips and bloops of turning the camera on
- Sneak in from a corner of the room where she's not looking

I fail at being sneaky, apparently, so I'll just show you a picture of some longies I said I'd send to Shae for Naomi about half a year ago or so. My procrastination has no bounds, it seems. I suspect they will be on the small side, but I finished it, dangit.

Some random notes: Done in 100% wool, colorway: Argentyne, of yarny_bits.livejournal (I believe deliciouspear, the actual dyer, is in the process of changing the business' name, currently Hawthorne Homes, and it's easier to find the colorways off of the LJ, anyway), with edging yarn dyed from the same batch to match. Pattern: WoolyWonder, Size S/M, with added I-cord belt and moss stitch edging at the bottom.

Honestly, I do like knitting - it's fairly easy once the basics are figured out. Circular knitting, to me, makes things a lot easier, since I never have to flip the work around. I actually finished half of the pants (top part to crotch) a while ago; all that was was an exercise in ribbing and short rows. The last part was what kept me from finishing earlier: according to the pattern, I was supposed to use 2 balls of the same yarn and practice what was known as the magic loop method to work both legs at once. My circulars weren't up to that task (I didn't think they were flexible enough), so I ended up using double pointed needles and working the legs one at a time. TMI, I know, but this late at night, I'm feeling it's important to rationalize why it's so late. >< I'm also proud of it; when I actually finish a pair of longies, I always have to sit there and think: "Wow, I made this, this is really neat."

So. Wow, I made this. This is really neat.

(Rachel thinks so, too, but she really just liked the yarn. I had to give her her own yarn ball just so she'd stop trying to run off with the one I was working with.)
