Assorted Flail

[pinksonia]

    We finally got to go back in the field today.  Yeah.  Then it started to rain again at noon so we had to come back in.  Still it made all the difference.  There was action,  miles of walking, briars, and hills.  Lots and lots of hills.  I'm sure in a day or two I'll be back to complaining about briars making me bleed my own blood (incidentally the crew says that frequently, and I'm pretty sure they're quoting someone but I have no idea what it is)  and wishing the hill weren't quite so high and hilly.  But for today it was glorious! 

    Then I finished season (series?) 2 of (new) Dr. Who while reading lots of who_knits, so I predict that there will be some wrist warmers in my future.  Pretty and cabled!  As for the slightly closer future I almost have a back for the knitted chain mail, so only a front and two sleeves to go.  I suppose that means it's time to figure out how to adapt the sleeves so they're 3/4-length and pointy.  Also remind me never to knit with cotton twine from the hardware store ever again.  It twists up something fierce, so that after every row I have to stand up, hold the ball above my head, and allow the project to unwind.  It really breaks the crafty rhythm.
