2019

Completed Ankle Socks

stargrace May 19, 2019 0Comment

I started these socks May 2018 and didn’t finish the second one (thus completing an actual pair) until April 2019. Sometimes, life just happens – and for me second sock syndrome is a real thing. When I’m dedicated to the task I can finish knitting a single sock within a week, but the second one always takes me months to finish off. I’m still hoping to learn two at a time so I can get socks made faster.

This is the 7th pair of socks I’ve knit, but one pair was for babies, and another pair was absolutely destroyed when I put it through the washing machine (that’ll teach me to machine wash any knit items…)

I’m glad to have these ones finished. I’m not exactly thrilled with the colours, but they’re not horrible (when I purchased the yarn I was expecting something different).

Not feeling the Hype

While it seems like all my friends are ramping up their hype meters for the classic WoW experience that’s coming, I have felt almost the opposite start to take over me. I ended up cancelling my account a few days ago, and I have no desire to beta test or dive in to old world WoW. I’ve already done the legacy thing in EverQuest, EverQuest2, and LoTRO, and I have have to say, the grass is always greener. As soon as I go back I remember why I’m glad that games are fluid and constantly changing. I like the changes and improvement to quality of life.

Doesn’t mean I’m pooping all over those who are hyped, in fact I love to see their enthusiasm, it just means once again I’m feeling a bit left out in the shadows while my enthusiasm wanes.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

Map Completion

So far playing GW2 with the husband is working out wonderfully. There’s so much to do, and both of us are enjoying being able to pop in and out of the game randomly between real life. We managed to get him gliding from HoT, and then the first three mounts in PoF (raptor, springer, and skimmer). We progressed the PoF story line a bit, and ran around getting map completion in Crystal Oasis too which was tons of fun.

Next I’m trying to work on some ascended gear for my mesmer. I picked up two accessories today, but I’d love an axe (and eventually, a pistol).

Happy gaming no matter where you find yourself!

Not Many at World Events

Whether it’s because of the nicer weather or the fact that folks burned out doing world events last week when there were bonus chests, things sure have slowed down.

Everyone is eagerly waiting for the next living world chapter to release! I love seeing the excitement in Lion’s Arch.
