Yeah, that.

Happy New January. Hurrah. Et cetera, et cetera.

Marvellous not-a-party at nannyo's last night; saw nurse_liz, kowt, dr_wez, robinbloke, the_mendicant, geekpsi and Stubedoobeedoo as well. Managed to get through an entire bottle of Choya sake (with help, admittedly) and not have a hangover.

Quote of the evening was from dr_wez: "I'll just lie here with my computer while the other lads pound my ass". Today, he managed to make ninja-style katana fighting on the Wii look more like beating off a swarm of bees. (*looks at that sentence & decides not to edit it*)

Anyone still of the impression that knitting circles are quiet, ladylike places for genteel folk should have heard nannyo and me today. The air was bluer than me after a hairdye accident. Our tentative plans for a Knitting And Porn weekend sha'n't require any lowering of the tone, at all.

But! I have the beginnings of ideas for what to knit with my Colinette Graffiti! I want puffy Victoriana-style sleeves, a nipped in waist (to make it look as if I have one), and lapels. Look, it's a start, ok?

Ooh, I emailed you a pattern that would at least do the body of your knitted thing but I'm not sure if I'm using the right address! It doesn't have lapels or puffy sleves, sadly.

Oooh, ooh, I want a Knitting and Porn weekend!!!

I think I have a pattern in the Loop D Loop book which has puffy sleeves and a nipped-in waist. I don't think it has lapels though, I'm fairly certain it's a jumper. I'll have a look.
