B... is for blank, blankets, and baking.

When I was thinking about this post, the first thing I came up was blank. At school, we have to write journals for English, and one of the tips is to write "I'm blank, I'm blank, I'm blank" if you can't think of anything to write, until you can. I couldn't, so "I'm blank" seemed like a good option. Then I thought about the other meanings of blank - for example, yarn blanks ready to be dyed. This seemed appropriate. This weekend I'm planning on doing a little KoolAid dying with the white baby yarn of uselessness, to see if I can make something nice from it.

Regarding the white baby yarn, I've actually found a use for it - swapping! In the Karma Yarn swap group on Ravelry, there's a ton of beautiful yarn. Sadly, my Mom doesn't really want me swapping anything that I've bought, so, naturally, I turned to the yarn that I have no use for that I won in a competition, and hey presto! Swapping!

Then the word "blanket" popped into my head. Right now I'm crocheting an afghan/blanket, with the craziest colors I've ever seen. I love it. :D So that's the blanket part - now onto baking. I spent over an hour this afternoon baking cookies, getting the hang of our oven. I think I got it, but I ate way too much cookie dough! Chocolate chip oatmeal... irresistable. Mmm....

And will you look at that! The post that I couldn't be bothered to write turned out pretty well! Back tomorrow with C...
