The following situation happened to me yesterday.  I was sitting on the couch generally being sick (and crocheting).  My nose was so completely stuffed up that no air would pass, at all.  Let me be clear here, NO AIR AT ALL.  And yet, at the same time, my nose was dripping.  WTF???  So, since I could neither blow my nose nor *ahem* sniff, I had to just sit there with a hanky under my nose, constantly wiping.  This put a real dent in my crocheting.  Has this ever happened to anyone else?  I've asked people in the past, and they all think I'm totally blinkers.  (Anyone catch that reference???)

In fibrearts news, I am now officially a heretic.  I've begun crocheting, snubbing my nose at my first love, knitting.  It's weird, but there's a real sense in which that's actually what it feels like.  My brother-n-sister-in-law got me the Stitch N' Bitch Happy Hooker book, so I've been working through some of the learning sections.  And it's kinda cool.  I mean, there's no reason not to do both.  Knitting and crocheting each have their own strengths and weaknesses, things that they'll each do better at, so why not learn both?  And yet... and yet I feel weird crocheting.  Maybe it's just that I'm only learning and it doesn't feel natural to me yet.  But nonetheless, when I find something that's easier about crocheting that knitting I'm all like "Yeah, well that's because there's no challenge!"  And when I find something that is easier about knitting I'm all like "Yeah!  Take that, crochet!"  This is nuts.  Maybe I really am totally blinkers?

Ah, no matter.  Importing more music to my iPod.  Today we're blowing off church to go see Alex's godfathers, so I thought I'd actually download some UU podcasts to listen to on the way (we found a speaker that sort of works for the iPod).
