I made a crooked afghan.

Here it is. My afghan. And it's crooked:


But it's my very first afghan, made by me! I used a bunch of leftover Lion Brand Homespun yarn that I found in the basement of my Dad's house, which included unraveling a whole lot of really plain ugly shawl that apparently at some point I thought seemed like a good use of time, effort, and supplies. Anyway, I made the 'pattern' myself. It's just a bunch of pretty basic, if huge, granny squares in blue and purple. I didn't have enough blue yarn to make all the squares alike, so I had to be a bit creative. There's also a thin blue border, which is impossible to see in this picture, but I assure you that it's there.

This afghan is not particularly astounding, or even well-aligned, but it was an interesting learning experience and will undoubtably serve me well when the evenings start to get a bit chilly again.

The Order of the Stick

The Order of the Stick is a really funny webcomic. It is, in fact, the only webcomic I have ever been managed to read in its entirety (328 comics to date, and counting).

Two Lumps was entertaining for a while, but I think think there is only so much that one genius cat intent on taking over the world can accomplish when couped up in a small apartment with his fluff-for-brains feline sidekick.


I also used to read Something Positive, but I haven't looked at it in ages and I seem to be okay about that. They don't seem to have any banners.

Anyway. Where was I? Ah yes: The Order of the Stick. It's really funny, as I seem to have mentioned before. However, it is important to note that this comic is geared specifically toward all those precious geeky people who have at least a general awareness of the d20 gaming system. (If you're wondering what the heck that is, then you're obviously not one of these people, and that's okay.) The comic strip pretty much makes fun of roleplaying games that use the d20 system, but in a really light-hearted comical way using stick figures, pretty colours, and lots of dry humour. It's delightful!
