Sunday Crafty Sundaaaaayaaay

In attendance: Graham, Whitney, and Heather. Jae wasn’t there because he “forgot.” I’m pretty sure he was just paying us back for missing fencing. –Such- a vindictive bastard, that Weisbrot.

Food ordered: Baingan Bartha, Vegetable Jalfrazi, Paratha, and Naan from Kebab Corner.

Food delivered: Baingan Bartha, Chicken Tikki, Paratha, and Naan from Kebab Corner. I called them up to tell them inform them of their mistake, about which they were very nice and quite accommodating. They rushed an order of Vegetable Jalfrazi back to the house and were there in less than half an hour. Unfortunately their Jalfrazi contains paneer, a thing I can’t eat and Graham won’t eat. So the Jalfrazi went to one lucky Laura on Monday. Who even puts paneer in Jalfrazi?! Apparently it’s regional thing, so I don’t feel bad for having not known that it could happen, since my previous Jalfrazi experiences were all paneer free. In any case, their food was super tasty and I would totally order from them again.

Crafts worked on: Graham painted Dark Elfs. Looked like a dude on a horse. He used some black paint and some yellow paint. Whitney worked on a quilted thing. She sketched a design, cut out the fabric, and started piecing it together. She’s using shades of lavender and a sagey kind of green. She’s probably the most diverse in her crafting amongst us. My intention was to mink oil everyone’s boots and then make boffer swords, but I had neither mink oil nor pipe foam in my possession. Instead, I knit. I worked on Erin’s Little Red Cap for ToV, using blood red Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride Worsted. I started this cap awhile ago but am just now getting back to it. It’s the weirdest thing, but suddenly all my knitting is easier. This pattern, which contains both a lace and a cable pattern, terrified me at first, but now I am excited at the diversity in stitches. I think knitting Leethal’s Circle Wrist Cuff helped me get over my “stitches that aren’t knits, purls, or yarn overs” fear.

Things we watched: The Daily Show, the Milky Joe episode of The Mighty Boosh, The Venture Brothers, and after Whitney left “Saawariya”. I forgot how sappy that movie is. My favorite parts are those that feature Salman Khan because he adds a level of dark and broody to an otherwise somewhat hysterical and overly saccharine piece.

Next time: Pictures! (I forgot to take any this time)
