Dancing my troubles away

posted by [personal profile] sigelphoenix at 09:06pm on 15/11/2011 under , ,
On the one hand, work made me want to cry today.

On the other hand, I went to salsa class and one of the leads told me I was the best dancer he'd danced with all night.*

I also bought my first yarn (I've been learning to knit on tools donated to me by [profile] shadawyn) for my first scarf, which I'm knitting for [personal profile] ratzeo.

Now if only I could be as happy at work as I am outside of it.

*Unfortunately, because he was trying not to announce it to the rest of the class, he sort of said it into the back of my hair, which made my personal space sensors go off. Lucky for him, my reaction to being startled like that was not to headbutt the offender.

Whenever I consider dancing, one of the reasons I don't is because of my personal space sensors, which even some of my good friends can still trip.

I'm glad you got a nice compliment, but sorry to hear it startled you, though :/

In other news:

Yarn! What kind of yarn?

Yeah, I can see why that'd be a barrier. Depending on how large your personal space bubble is, or whether there are particular types of contact that are better or worse, there probably are some dances you could do - like waltz, where it seems that you stick to hand-on-shoulder contact rather than hand-on-waist, etc.

I got an acrylic/wool blend (mostly to avoid the fear of messing up with more expensive stuff) in a deep teal/blue color. Plus some basic supplies, since I was in Weaving Works anyway.

Very cool. I'm glad to hear you're going to try a project ^_^ Did switching to continental help?

I think it did - it's definitely faster (for knitting, at least - purling still feels awkward). It might also be the cold weather, too, that increased my motivation. :P

Purling is a little awkward, but you get used to it XD There are ways to get around it--like not purling at all XD I think this is part of why I like knitting in the round so much now. Purling is an embellishment, not a requirement XD
