Sana is an interesting name. How did you come by it? I've not heard it before.

It's from Game of Thrones ~ a very bloodthirsty & epic fantasy tale based on Medieval Europe. Sansa becomes Queen of the North. I think. I stopped paying attention when the sex got waaay too steamy for me.

I like a bit of indie folk or rock while I'm cooking to give it a fun feeling And classical music turned down low while I'm working.

Edit: damn, I thought I pressed 'reply'

When I'm working heads down either writing or spreadsheeting (is that a word? ), it's Jazz. I love all music except rap. I just never was able to get there.

So you ARE paying attention.

Sansa, the character in Game of Thrones, is a copper haired young woman who grows up through the books to be Queen of her own section of the kingdom, the north.

Sansa, the hen, is a copper feathered young lady who is queen of the new hens, her own sub-kingdom in our flock.

The similarities were too striking to pass up.

I'm feeling quite defeated this morning.
I've been looking for some nice table runners ~ because we sit things like plants on our tables & runners give the wood a little protection.

I finally found one I really like & it was a you tube video so...
The instructor has quite a thick accent & goes really fast but it's you tube so I was stopping & starting & being really careful with my counting because it's lace & it's all about counting.
Most tutorials give you a stitch count @ the end of every row so it is really easy to check if you are on track or not & where you've gone wrong, if you do.
This lady doesn't.
I got to here last night & I am out by 2 whole repeats!!!
There is no way to fix it without undoing the whole thing. And I still won't know where I've gone wrong.

It's not that I mind unpicking & redoing. I do a lot of that. I'm a dork. Until I can *see* the pattern I'm pretty useless. I won't make the same mistake because now I know what the pattern should look like. I'm just cross that I could have figured it out a whole lot earlier if the instructor had given a stitch count. *sigh*
Ok. Rant over. You know what I'm doing today.​

Oh that's disappointing. Stitch counts for the win!

I like Gil Scott-Heron's version of rap and also the disposable heroes of hiphoprisy but otherwise it's not a comfy listen for me. I appreciate it in the way I appreciate surrealism in painting and sculpture. I get it, but I don't like it aesthetically.

Well I found my mistake ~ waaay back in row 4. In my defence what I have understood the instructions to mean & what they actually mean are not the same thing @ all. The only real way to know is to figure it out as you go. *sigh* Which means mistakes. Oh, well. Sorted for the time being.

Ah, well, I love surrealism in painting. It is such a fantasy form! Rap escapes me aesthetically. I just don't get it.

There is such a thing as Google, Mr Bob... Besides which I had@ least one child [aka a man] who watched it through to the end ~ so I just asked anything I really wanted to know.
