Making things, making things, making things

[azaya]

Just blah, blah, blah. Those curious about the details of the blah blah blah can find them under the cut.

I finished the first of umpteen Christmas presents this morning. I've been keeping myself mostly off LJ and GoS and AIM in order to get some work done on my book and these presents. (Naturally, I played Age of Empires instead.) Progress has been made on the latter, the former not so much. I remain hopeful. It'll happen when it's ready.

In the meantime, I have determined to make an amigurumi Cthulhu after I finish all the presents. Reminds me I ought to check in with everyone I've planned a present for and make sure they've no objection to something soft and crocheted arriving in their mail from Someone On The Internet. Also, I don't think I'll be using this brand of yarn again. It's lovely and soft, but with a tendency to unravel and get caught on the hook. Of course, that could just be my fault, as I used this before I lost my knitting needles and didn't have the problem then. Crocheting is still pretty new to me.

I haven't turned on Sims 2 in three days. I'm not sure what's wrong with me.

I think kielen and I think a like. I've been crocheting since I was 4 and knitting since I was 10. One yarn I love to use is Red Heart Plush, it makes lovely shawls/scarfs and blankets, it's really soft and doesn't unravel (it is a little pricey but so worth it), so what kind of yarn where you using.

Red Heart Plush? I'll keep it in mind. (As I said to Kielen, I'm just using Simply Soft.)
