soc_puppetJust wanted to say, with the most celebratory icon at my disposal:
Last night (well, technically ~12:15 this morning), I crocheted the final square of my Tetris blanket. I spent today attaching the floating squares to each other and, in turn, the main piece of the blanket itself.
I have two rows remaining; all the individual squares are attached in row formation, I have only to stitch the rows to the end of the blanket.
I took on a huge project at the beginning of the month, and by the end of my birthday, I think it's safe to assume that I will have thoroughly asserted my authority over its buttocks. Hells yeah :Db
Squares: 396/396
Rows: 21/22
Total Complete: ~98%
(I also donated blood yesterday, with my fastest time yet: four minutes, fifty-six seconds from the time I was poked 'til the time I filled the bag. My average iron levels may be for shit, but donation time? No problem!)
Anywho, sleep now, birthday and blanket pictures tomorrow. Peace ¦3b

Ooh. That could be an awful lot of fun.

A friend of mine asked a few weeks ago if I were capable of making a Sierpinski cube. I answered yes, because I'm fairly confident in my ability to make just about anything out of crochet, but whoever wanted it would have to pay me a fuckload of money for me to do it :P Something more easily expressed in two dimensions sounds much more appealing.

If I ever want to have a coherent webcomic, I think I'm going to have to not have a job, or lose a hobby or three, is where I'm going with that thought.
A crocheted Sierpinski cube would be frickin' awesome, though. XD
(But can I saw-pierce one and solder it..? No. Nonononononono. No I cannot. No.)

Date: 2011-12-02 06:01 am (UTC)Yeah, cons and con-prep would definitely put a wrench in the works. Well, there's twelve months in a year, and even though they don't all have just (or as many as) thirty days, surely there's one that would work...
Hahaha, yeah ¦3; Not that I wouldn't mind another Riot Nrrd or two on the 'net, but knowing one's limits is a good feminist practice, IMO.
Oh man, would it ever! If I ever find someone to sponsor it, I'm going to town on that thing.
(Resist! Resist! There are Other Things To Do!)
(Sorry for the second post; forgot to finish a sentence the first time 9_9; )

Surely there's one. Somewhere. I shall have to look into that more, assuming I'm going to get myself in gear instead of finding a zillion other things to do. (Which is valid, too.) But like you say, there are indeed Other Things To Do.
