After getting a surprising amount of work done last night, I took the morning off and knit a practise swatch for Clapotis. I thought it would take an hour, maybe two.

Four hours later, it's done, and my morning has completely disappeared. I like how it turned out, but omgwtf I have so much work left to do. Shite.

(I still have to figure out what size of needles I want to use. The stitches might look nicer on 6's, but 7's might be easier on the hands, and knit up faster. Hmm. Will do swatches on 6's, 7's and even 8's tonight to see how it looks. If I have the time.)

A little bit of help needed from LJ-land.

There's a section of my transcription for textual analysis that I just can't get. I've recorded and uploaded it, and if anyone would give it a listen to help me out. It's 40 seconds long, and I'm looking for help around the 18 second mark. I don't want to say what I think it is, since that might colour other people's impressions. Part of it is repeated later on- I've tried googling it, but I'm lost.

Also, the sound quality isn't great, from the original recording (damn birds), to the background noise of the transcription machine, to the crappy quality of the mp3 recorder.

I strongly reccomend this Snow Patrol concert to people who enjoy good music. That is, of course, my entire friendslist.
