+ Finally finished the Shawl of Doom (it only took me a bit over seven months). Pictures forthcoming but I am rather happy with it.

+/- I have to actually tell people I made it; it's not the sort of thing that they automatically I assume I made it myself. Which is awesome, but also kind of awkward because going LOOK I AM AWESOME is a tad, er, awkward for me.

+ Decided somewhat arbitrarily that I was going to crochet myself a christmas stocking to have ready for next year. It is about 60% done -- have two more rows and then the toe, and then seaming because it was made flat, and embellishments including the cuff -- and is ridiculously happymaking

+ also ridiculously happymaking is the crocheted gingerbread house (ravelry link) that I am planning on making. Had fun yesterday getting the necessary supplies -- yarn in an appropriate shade of brown, and a glue gun (I have enough white and red and green to be okay on that front), and then I decided to make changes to it for sanity-saving purposes, so some of the "candies" are not going to be crocheted; the big ones still are, but the "gumdrops" are going to be colored mini pompoms, and the red dots on the roof are glass beads, and I got some red and green and white pipe cleaner things to use for the candy cane twists.

+/- ...and ended up "tripping" and having a crochet book fall into my basket oops. (rav link.) ridiculously cute crocheted animals, including a kitten and a puppy and a baby panda and a dolphin and an octopus and a turtle and a snail and a penguin and and and um.

- noncraftingly, health stuff )

+ writingly, ideas are actually stirring for trope_bingo stuff yay \o/

+ also k_b is doing a mini challenge thing, which I think I can manage, double yay \o/
