Today I went to spend the Christmas money I’d got from Dad and a lottery ticket (the one where you scratch to find 3 same sums of money or three Xs or Os in a row — I’ve never won big, but this time I got 23,50 € which I think is better than nothing).<\/p>\n

I bought myself some new clothes (the main reason I dragged myself to the centre). Three tops of which two are actually the same but in different colours (yes, the other really is non-black!). One is a cheat shirt because it looks like there’s a white collared shirt underneath but actually there are only the collar and cuffs sown to the sweater. Spares me the annoyance of layered long-sleeved clothes and doesn’t look too boring. The sweater and the other non-black shirt are dark red or maroon, something like that. Not very me-like, but maybe I’ll live.<\/p>\n

I also bought Poets of the Fall<\/a> CD (Signs of Life<\/em>). I don’t usually like Finnish bands, so because I like this one I had to buy the CD. I also got Storm of the Century and Big Fish DVDs. They were 2 for 20 €, so after I’d found Storm of the Century (a Stephen King movie, what else), I wanted to find another. I haven’t seen Big Fish but Ewan McGregor is in it; it can’t be too bad.<\/p>\n

This I’ve knitted myself
\n
\nThe heel is kinda odd because I misunderstood the instructions but I’m making another pair (this time knee high) and I’m doing it properly now.<\/p>\n

I don’t understand knitting blogs, though. They’re really big in Finland at least. In case you’re interested — which I truly hope you’re not — I’ve finished perhaps 15% of the first knee-high sock. How thrilling.<\/p>\n

Happy Winter-een-mas<\/a>!!!<\/big><\/p>\n

[Update Jan 14 ’06]<\/strong> At Vera’s request, I present: the almost-knee high sock
\n\"Knee
\nI didn’t have the patience to go on with the leg part. \":)\" It’s more deformed than the short sock because I had to start with more stitches (loops) and improvise the rest. [\/update]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
