baaad nervouser

So I'm falling behind once again. Maybe listing things here will help:

-YarnZine!
-fabric for handmade
-CDs to Nikki
-Knitted stuff to zLana
-Birthday goodness and encyclopedia entry to EssEssEss
-20things
-City ATCs
-Artist Playing Cards
-Signs Zine contribution
-Mini Zines
-Book of Numbers and Letters
-Collage stuff to Samantha (whose nervousname I forget)

GAH. This is what happens when I go away for a weekend. That, and my craft room is in worse shape than usual. Luckily, I'll have 3 hours of Buffy (2 on F/X, one that I haven't seen, and the new one that I taped from last night) to sit in the craft room and clean and work.

I've been knitting up a storm. I'm a foot into a birthday gift for a friend, and working on size 15s, which means it shouldn't take too long to finish, even though the needles give me finger cramps.

I'd love to learn how to knit. All of the women in my immediate family know how to do all of the crafty things and it makes me so jealous. I think I need to buy an instruction book and amuse myself by at least trying to do it.

It's a great pasttime! It makes waiting in lines much more bearable :) If there's a specialty yarn store near you, that's the best place to go for advice on how to start up -- they may even offer classes! I think the easiest way to learn is from someone who already knows what they're doing... they can answer questions much more easily than a book can. If a book is the most accessible option, though, I've heard good things about Elizabeth Zimmerman and Debbie Bliss, in terms of knitting instruction.
