(Hunting for books wouldn’t be such a drab pass time if you knew were to start, a book shop would be a good first option, obviously – but then there’s the endless search for books you’d rather not ‘have’ to read. I have a problem with ‘having’ to read anything, which probably doesn’t help my situation. The time has come again where I’ll have to abandon everything momentarily and shuffle away to immerse myself in study and all the other necessities that might increase the current size of my brain…slightly)

At least the  reading list this time round has ignited some interest somewhere far in the back of my head – Actually nothing seems to be interesting me or getting me motivated lately (Least of all reading lists, I’m just trying to encourage words here) the past few weeks have not been amazing, I think I need new surroundings, it might prompt my brain to start churning ideas again, or maybe some oil in the engine, anything that might encourage life basically.

This Hood was initially meant to be for me (unfortunately, just like all the hats I make they always seem to turn out to small regardless of how many stitches I cast on) One half of me is disappointed and the other is thankful because the more logical thinking person in me is saying that I wouldn’t have looked anything less than ridiculous in a Pixie looking plum, coloured hood – I’m still undecided.

Its called ‘The golden compass hood’ Ring a bell? It didn’t with me, maybe next time I aught to be more cautious for fear of running into ‘Funny fan knitters’. I’m not bothered, just slightly worried because I might not be as in tune with my surroundings as I thought.

Remember Rouge. Well because I’m not having much success on the drawing front, and because the Art journal appears to have gone into hiding (Until I can stop venting my rage) I decided I’d have to put the Bird to some use until I can draw another one – Now at first I thought I wouldn’t be altogether safe handling a needle and thread, I’m hyperactive and anything in my possession no matter how harmless can become dangerous (If you can trip over your own feet on a regular basis, and cause sufficient damage to the end of your nose, lets face it, you have a problem). But aside from some bloody fingers, and a giant knot (Once the box of threads) it all went pretty smoothly – The back of it is a disaster and I could use the excess thread left on it to stuff the actually toy, but that Okay, no one needs to see the back/or inside…
