22 more words to a whole 3k for today. and I'm hoping for at least another 500 before I check out for the night. yipee!
( more pointless novel ramblings! and pills to cure the death! (well, not really; we get to that bit later) )
In other news, I spent the afternoon at Holiday Faire, didn't fence (er, much... there was a brief interlude of slow-work which I was kindly allowed to join in even without armor, and now I need to play with single dagger at some point where I don't have to worry about not moving quickly...), looked at all the shoppings, restrained myself from getting more yarn or more fabric, and did find a set of size 0 wooden DPNs. Yay! My previous search for period (or indeed, any) sock-sized knitting needles had bottomed out at size 2, which are probably more or less ok, but I want to be able to do fine-guage socks. Ooh, aah. Now I either need to work out a toe-up sock pattern, or get over my qualms and break into the sock yarn that used to belong to Barrett's great aunt, and is still (in huge quantities) in the original woolworth's bag, with receipt...
Right then, enough babbling, back to the novel.
