martelvonc: (Can't you find something useful?)

Oh look! A chicken!

Remember how, like, I was being virtuous and Laurely like, and stuff?
The hand sewing and the repairing and the projects?

Well, I fell off the wagon last weekend.

It all started...
When we went down to the Outer Banks,
AND the ONLY knitting store was still in business,
AND the Knight was willing to let me wander in there to my hearts content,
(bless you free wi-fi, a fancy I-Pod touch, and a comfy chair he could sit in)
AND they were selling this cute little pattern for a cute little bag purse,
AND they were selling the yarn to make the cute little bag purse,
AND they had the knitting needles I needed to start the cute little bag purse.

I couldn't just LEAVE it there now could I?

What?

I did make one SCA related project this week. I made myself an arrow mop in my heraldic colors. After shooting in the down pour rain at the Barony of Lochmere investiture last fall and having no where to clean my arrows of the gawd awful mud except to wipe them off with my hand, I decided to make myself one of those useful gee-gaws. Not historically accurate but useful none the less.

So there, I can look at chickens if I like....

Try hitting the Knitting Addiction. The ladies are very nice there and they have free wi-fi to entertain the husbands.... :-)

I keep trying to... just the few times I've been *that* far north I've had bad timing. And it takes almost as long to get up there now as it did before they put in the bypass... well, maybe not *all* the time, but sometimes it sure seems like it.

Meanwhile, at least there's Manteo (takes *maybe* 15 minutes from the cottage to downtown).
