DnD and knitting CAN mix!
Apr. 23rd, 2007 02:04 amWe went over to a friend's today to do some DnDing. It has been really nice since we started hanging out with a semi-regular group. We did play with them a few years back (Jake asked me out on our first date while on our way to the same group), and it was really hard because I was so nervous and scared to make a fool of myself.
2 1/2 years later, I'm now on the right medication at the right amount, and I feel as relaxed as I did before I moved to Utah. I've become one of the guys again, it was a lot of fun, not too much rp-ing, but lotsa fun hanging out and laughing.
Oh yes, and I was supposed to include knitting as well. I finished my first sock while killing zombies and skeletons. I was so amazed that I was able to make a sock with shaping and such. Only problem is that I didn't make the instep big enough so I can't fit my foot through the turn. *sighs at her big honkin' feet* I'm going to finish the other sock, and probably save them for a christmas present.
Next project, which I need to hold off until I'm done with my mom's jacket will be Jake's geisha socks. Yes... I know geisha is a term for a woman, but he wants to be able to wear sandals during the winter, so I'm making socks that have the large toe separated. This is the deal I had to make with him 4 months ago when I first picked up knitting.
I'm also working on finishing my niece's blanket. The pieces are taking forever, since there are 48 of them, but it will end up being the size of a standard blanket for a twin size bed. I originally wanted to make them for all of my nieces and nephews, but by next xmas, that will increase by one. I've decided to save my sanity I'll make Lauren's the first year, next Ella's, William's, Jordan's, and then for the little girl with no name yet :P.
speaking of little ones with no names yet... Jake and I talk a lot about the future and when I can go off of anti-baby pills. We've decided to wait until I'm done with school so I can still work with lead and such. So looks like in the next year we'll start trying to have babies. It's just crazy to think about. We've already decided what to name our first child if it's a girl. Natalia sounded like a neat name. And don't get in a huff that I mention I'm going to have a girl. Let's just say when I went to get my endowments something happened, and I just have a good feeling as to what is going to happen.
*happy sigh*
I'm also looking forward to when I can quit work and focus on getting school done and training myself to be a better housewife/stay-at-home-mom. The only reason I'm the one working now is because Jake got laid off and we decided it would be better for him to claim unemployment while doing double-time at school to get done. One week left, and I'm pretty proud of myself for "bringing home the bacon" so to speak, for the last 2 months. We just need to make sure we keep our insurance, because I don't want to go back to what I was like before starting my medication and therapy.
Now I think I'm talking in circles, so that means I need to shut up and go to bed. I promise as soon as I find my camera I will share pictures with all the projects I've been working on.
Oh, btw, I have a blanket that I finished about a month ago and need to find someone to give it to. If anyone needs a purple blanket, let me know. If not, I'll probably end up donating it.
