Personal Knitting Notes

.1. As of yesterday, it was confirmed that (insert drum roll) Napoleon Bonaparte was poisoned to death. The bastards! What a cowardly way to assassinate someone, especially a short someone at that.

.2. I am learning how to knit. It's supposed to be a form of stress-relief but oddly enough I have a tension headache from concentrating on the small knots and I have booked a massage because I fear that my shoulders may have permanently positioned themselves right next to my ears. Maybe they just have a secret they have to tell my ears.

Oh! I also now have a scarf.

I am trying to learn how to make mittens and so if you see a female walking down the street with a slightly awkward tabby cat orange scarf around her neck, and probably oversized mittens, in the same shade...that is I.

Note to you: My little mother is convinced that there are only two knits: saada & sha2looba. It was interesting to watch her in the crafts store because everything she picked up was either 'saada' or 'sha2looba', something which continued happening even as she accidentally stumbled into the paint section. I began to worry when she started pointing at the red paint and repeating 'sha2looba', and so I took her home and put a cold compress on her forehead. She's ok now, alhamdullilah.

Note to you 2: The above Note to you is a complete joke. If I don't spell that out, my mother will sha2looba me when I get home.

My ultimate goal is to make a throw. With beads, and silk and have it be long and warm and pretty and perfect.

.3. Holt Renfrew fixed the snapped heel and I am to receive it tomorrow. I still don't recommend them, though. Not yet, anyway.

.4. At lunch, I will entertain you with another "falling" story (I promise).

.5. Hatem stumbled upon my blog by way of searching for Tamer Hagras!! That's just the funniest way to find me (and ultimately quite flattering...).

Note to self: Perhaps Tamer will be foolish enough to Google himself and find me. He will fall in love with this blog, and move to Canada to find me. He will 2ukhtubni and my family will sha2looba him. We will have a great big wedding.

Note to self 2: Maybe make Tamer Hagras a scarf. We'll match!!
