I’ve made 1.75 handwarmers (fingerless mittens) for darkforge. Now that the second one is nearly finished, it’s clear that I needed only one skein, not two.

Thus, I have a bit more than 50 g / 150 m of eight-ply silk, DK weight, black. What are good/reasonable things to do with it?

For that matter, what are silly (but not totally wasteful) things to do with it? (This stuff isn’t cheap. We went with silk—I say “we” because darkforge came to the fiber store and frowned at things a lot—because they’re for typing in a chilly office. Lightweight and “something I can wear without being laughed at” were his primary criteria, thick enough to go quickly and not lint-generating were mine; I ended up rewriting someone’s pattern entirely.)

. I’ve put up enough sentences during the last few days to cover two weeks’ worth of my usual posting patterns, but here we are because of NaBloPoMo. I guess. Expected side effect of recent D2 acquisition: I’ve been watching more kdrama episodes. Unexpected effect: posting so much about kdramas reminds me that D2 time cuts across reading time, since fiction-reading occurs mostly while I ride transit. Oops?

. The other day my age resumed being prime odd, after a year of consisting of twos. Hope I get to see the next compounding of twos, which’ll be a perfect square.

. If I’ve no recollection of biting my cheeks (both sides), it must’ve happened during sleep, yes? But I wear a night guard.
