☆ Arrived in Victoria. Whoo! It's nice to be here again, even if the weather was shit today - far too windy. Aki arrives on the 23rd... I have no idea what I'm going to do on the 22nd. I've been feeling kind of tired and sore lately (tl;dr: too much walking, also general frustration with the universe) so if the weather is nice, I might just find a sunny spot on that big lawn outside the Legislature to plunk myself down and knit and write and read and do nothing all day.

☆ THAT FEELING when you're trying to wind yarn into a ball from the skein and it just ends up as... yarn spaghetti. Why. Why does this happen. (Shhh I know why it happens, I'm just grumping.)

☆ Writing-wise, managed to slap down some words today. Not much, though. And it was just OC stuff (Suvi's POV, oddly enough... I'm finding it hard to get into her head so far. She's tricky). Hopefully will get some other things done... I really need to give that Rarepair Exchange assignment another read-through; I mean, yes, it's done, but it... needs it. We'll see. Plus, treats, I want to write treats for this one user... argh, we'll see. Not to mention the mountains of unfinished stuff that I have in that wip folder. x_x Ffffu.

Hey, I'm at my sister's house in Vancouver! *waves at you across BC*

yay! what are you knitting, currently? Also why does the yarn turn into spaghetti? i almost never put my yarn into balls (my cat goes nuts).

Ooh, have fun in Victoria! And yeah, I know those yarn spaghetti feels all too well. (My housemate even has a yarn ball winder, but I ALWAYS forget about it until I've already hopelessly tangled the yarn. *sigh*)

*pats your mountain of WIPs* I apparently decided to completely ignore mine and write something new today. Maybe I'll go back to my mountain tomorrow...

Wat. You're in Vancouver? SO CLOSE. /waves!

Hmmm just a shawl/scarf/triangular neck thing. I just finished one in the exact same pattern, and I liked it so much that I decided to do it again. I guess I just like patterns that are easy to memorize.

And I don't knoooow why yarn turns into spaghetti but I guess it's just because of the way the skein is shaped... I mostly get it from ones that are done up in that twisty shape that you have to un-twist and then you get this bunch of loose... stuff... that basically has to be balled in order to be usable.

Will do! <3

Fff maybe if you ignore the wip mountain completely, it'll go away on its own. :D?

I actually ended up even closer yesterday because my mother took us all out whale watching and by the time the boat caught up with the pod they were looking for we were within spitting distance of Victoria.
