Well. I did it, I walked to work today. I was not wearing enough clothing! I need to get a ski mask or balaclava or whatever stat.
I shopped for them online in a sort of desultory fashion, but nothing is quite what I want. I then looked up patterns online– surely I could make one– and sure, there are a ton of patterns! Oh great. So I clicked through to one and it was like “great base for a fursuit mask!” and I was like what and back-buttoned out of there kind of by reflex. The next one was some nice middle-aged lady with a knitting blog and this one was to make a balaclava out of old t-shirts, fantastic, that is exactly what I want to do, and I’m downloading the PDF pattern and reading the instructions and
“my daughter is super into fursuits and this is the perfect base for a foam head! you might ask why I’d mix myself up in such things, this being a nice knitting blog, but my daughter loves them so much and I want to share her interests, so here we go!”
what
Well, now I know something I didn’t. Honestly, I’ve got no reason to have a problem with furries, it’s just a thing I don’t get and so am always a little leery of because I don’t get it, but for real, I mean, what’s the deal. Fine.
So I’m making a fursuit head base, apparently. Whatever, I just want to customize a pattern so I can get my hair in there, my winter hats never leave room for my hair. Also I’m figuring on wearing the balaclava under a nice knitted hat because I have four thousand nice wool hats, all of which leave my ears and throat and face exposed– the ears because the hat doesn’t have room for my fucking hair, I’ve had my hair this length for twenty-five years now and nobody who makes me hats recognizes that, but I mean, whatever. (Nobody who makes hats leaves room for hair. I have one my mom made that has a ponytail hole, and I love it, but it’s one hat and I can never find it, and honestly I don’t wear a ponytail, I wear a 39″ braid clipped to the back of my head, so it doesn’t really fit out the hole. I need a slouchy beanie and I’m going to have to make it myself, but i don’t knit, so it’s going to have to be made of fabric. I have polarfleece, I should just use that.)
At any rate– the point of this was that apparently my ankle’s nagging soreness just really needed me to make a 1.4-mile hike in hiking boots on flat ground to work it out, so, now y’all know that.
I just hope it doesn’t get any colder or rain this afternoon, so I can walk back home.
Also I need slippers for work, I didn’t bring other shoes because hiking boots are comfortable right? but I really wish I had some clogs or something to put on.
I might have some old ones, I should dig around.
I need to dig around in my house anyway, so there’s a to-do list item.
