Where to start?
Well, it's been an eventful couple of days. I successfully saw through the Yom Kippur fast on Thursday, I took Roo to her second vet appointment on Friday (the rain, and my lack of a proper carrier on the way back, made that very complicated), and today ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ironroot and I designed my D&D character. I have to ask one of the other players if our two characters can be related. It's complicated - I'll explain it if it works out. My friend Martine, now a senior at Bryn Mawr, is flying home from Atlanta tonight. She's going to spend the night here and meet Roo.
Speaking of Roo, I got a little spray bottle that I hope I can use to train her not to bite. The vet says she needs to be trained now, or she will not get out of the habit when she grows up. I'm hoping I can do that without making Roo hate me or something.
Oh, and I also made a discovery. I was wrapping the yarn around the needle the wrong way when I knitted. Now I've corrected the mistake. It takes some getting used to, but I can see that it's working - my stitches aren't too tight anymore and the yarn I'm working with doesn't get twisted. Yay!

Yep, I learned how from stitchguide.com. The basic idea is that you're reversing the way the stitches sit on the needle in order to make the decrease tilt the other way. You might not want to watch me, though, because I knit backwards and have never learned how to knit "normally". :)
