Reboot Again.

Notebook sales have slowed, which, on the one hand, boooo, and on the other it's nice to have some crafting time. So here we go, I'm gonna have another go at the blogging thing.

Bingo Card

Okay, so, I've joined allbingo as it allows crafts and things as well as writing. And I generated a card using the Supernatural Creatures list. There could be anything and everything used as fills - the mawata I dyed today could make a nice cowl for the 'phoenix' prompt; I'm just sayin'.

household spirit/brownie	sea serpent	will-o-the-wisp	ghost	sphinx
pegasus/hippogriff	griffin	vampire	phoenix/firebird	hellhound
djinn	elemental	FREE SPACE	yeti/sasquatch	selkie/merrow
dryad	kraken	kitsune/fox spirit	mermaid	manticore
nymph	unicorn	werewolf	dragon	cecaelia/octomaid

Another Bingo Card

Decided that it might be better to start a little smaller, but I like my Supernatural Creatures card so I've made another to break myself in gently using a 3x3 and the "Childhood Experiences" pack:

Jumping in a puddle	Wishing on a star	Fingerpaints
Trick-or-treat	Blowing seeds off a dandelion	Making a flower crown
Treasure hunt	Drawing on the sidewalk in chalk	Picking flowers

Prompt: Drawing on the Sidewalk in Chalk

I have some mawata that suit this prompt, I think:





Knitting it up to my own "pattern": 102 stitches cast on, with a stitch marker every 17 stitches; alternate between knit and purl, then, after every inch knitted, switch to alternating between purl and knit.
