random thoughts

I realized the other day that apart from my old friend who writes as Torin, I don’t think I know anybody who writes on OD.  Most of my online and RL friends write on LJ and that is the place that I point people to when they ask if I have a blog. 
You may at this point be wondering what the relevance of that is.  Well, the relevance is that I can therefore write more freely and anonymously here:) 
For example, last week for the first time in months I finally managed to get out to a RL knitting group.  This is one that i had attended on a semi regular basis last year for quite a few months.  While I never had felt truly like a member of the inner circle, I had felt welcomed and had enjoyed myself.  This was so not the case last week.  First of all, I was cold and sitting too near the door.  I also just didn’t feel welcome.  Maybe I was feeling particularly fussy but in spite of laughing a fair amount at silly things, I kept thinking how much I really did not like the people who were there:(  I felt quite sad and disappointed.  By the time I got home I was feeling more resigned and just let it go by as one of those things.  I would like to knit in person with other knitters but I guess that just isn’t meant to be right now.

I should add that one of the moms I spend a lot of time with right now while our girls are in rehearsals, has hauled out her yarn and started to crochet dish cloths again inspired by the fact that I knit while my daughter is in ballet class and i rehearsal):)Today we exchanged different colourways in the dishcloth cotton.

I feel better now that I found somewhere I could whine:)
