Thursday Open Thread

[virescence]

Hello, group_xers! It's time again for another open thread. And this time someone put me in charge.

This week my brain is totally dominated by dissertation-writing/editing, so in my complete inability to think about anything else, I've decided to make the subject of this Open Thread: Achievements. What have you achieved lately that you're proud of? What are you working towards achieving, or hope to achieve someday in the future?

(Note: this doesn't just mean big achievements, or only academic ones - anything that you have or plan to achieve, however big or small, once-in-a-lifetime or day-to-day, come tell us about it! And don't feel compelled to stick to the topic if you have something far more interesting or important to share.)

Also note: today's open thread is public.

I have a pile of stuff-to-go-away from my room in the hall, but it's barely a dent and I've kind of lost momentum (*cough*readingDiscworld*cough*) so I haven't really achieved much on my room.

I finished my rectangle, though! And I still haven't taken a picture of it for Ravelry. Or decided of I want to crochet a ruffle in a different yarn (I think I have a skein of brown somewhere to go with the green) round the edge to make it look like a small blanket instead of a fairly randomly sized rectangle. Or if I want to produce a bunch more rectangles of varying sizes and make a really weird looking blanket.

The rectangle! Yey! How big did it end up being? A small blanket would be good - you could store it away and give it to someone who has a baby, if it wasn't an adult-useful size. Although I do like the idea of the random-rectangles blanket too.

Knitting is also on my list of things to achieve. Including the Doctor Who scarf (my yarn, it is on order from America, I want it nooooow) and designing that Fluttershy toy (current stage: MATH, SO MUCH MATH.)

... I knew this thread would involve knitting somewhere.

*finds it and one of her sewing tape measures*

~22"x~20", it appears!

*has to get out a tape measure to imagine this size*

Oooh, definitely baby-blanket size. Hooray!
