Currently, I’m trying to knit a pair of socks. I also have plans for a top down sweater with a Fair Isle pattern, which I’m in the process of designing for myself. I got the wool for Christmas and I just need to measure myself and figure out the maths of the design. Which is the hardest part.

I’m interested in the environment, although I don’t do much with that interest. I’m also interested in space and science-fiction. All I can do there is read a lot around the subject (since I’ll never be an astronaut!).
