Well, I have been spending most of my time at work. That does not give me much news to write about here. Hopefully the Hulk game will be winding down in another month. Then we can get out and do stuff again.
One new thing is I have begun to learn knitting. A co-worker started learning just before our holiday break which peaked my interest. It is something I have always wanted to try, but this is the first time I gave into those urges.
So far I have only made a few small projects just to learn the techniques. Most of those have been small bookmarks. I purchased a pair of needles and the cheapest yarn I could find. Basically they are to find out if this is an activity I would like to continue before spending any more money.
Turns out I am enjoying the process of knitting. I recently made a small section of a ribbed scarf to get experience with a pattern. Terri liked it so much we are going to pick out some yarn this weekend so I can make a full scarf for her.
I'm sure I will need a break from the redundancy of knitting after a while. That tends to happen with my other hobbies too. I often switch between origami, paper models, and rocketry. Now I have something else to add into that rotation of activities.
