Probably everyone knows this already, but archived here so I can find it:
I did not know that the BBC has a free TARDIS stencil for making t-shirts. Naturally, people are using this to make their own "Angels have the blue box" shirts.
who_knits, a new community that has taken a chunk out of
crafty_tardis (Note:
crafty_tardis still in existence) is setting up for a Who scarf knitathon. Plenty of people doing their first knitting project there, so there's lots of encouragement and offers to help new knitters out.
ihasatardis (the LOL Cats comm for the Whovians) continues to be hilarious.
Up early and walking to Who audios is less intensive than getting up and doing interval training for half an hour. It also leaves me in less of an "I want to DIE NOW" state, so this is the route I'm going to keep up with for a while.
Also, have finally figured out why my arm's suddenly aching again - all this exercise. Which means I can stop exercising until the stupid never-was-really-broken thing starts behaving, or strap it up and cut down on the arm exercises. I think I'm going with option 2.
Calling Hillmuth today to discuss car situation. Am really hoping that this won't turn into another 5-day, order-spare-parts-from-Colorado extravaganza. The time it takes to resolve that is going to determine how fast DB goes to the vet for his shoulder; as long as he seems comfortable, I don't feel a need to rush him there.
Have overwhelming urge to spend the next three days in bed with the covers over my head. So much for all those endorphins exercise is supposed to release.

And you might want to fix the strike out in your post, as it makes it look like
I have a rather clever DVD that takes 1 minute segments and combines them into a workout of however many minutes you specify (limited choices) which I need to start using again.

Which one would that be? That could be useful.

Date: 2007-06-12 02:49 pm (UTC)I don't think it will kill it completely. There's too much that isn't knitting.
That's why I'm willing to start it at the same time as the shawl (which will be a complicated pattern). I can switch back and forth as I get bored.
The DVD is called 1 Minute Workout: Minna Lessig Total Body Toning. I tried a few of the workouts on the On Demand service from Cablevision, and I found her the least painful trainer of the ones offered.
You can also choose the level of intensity and the area you want to work (upper body, lower body, abs, total body). The only equipment it uses is two sets of hand weights (light and heavy). I think I've only hit one or two segements where I wasn't coordinated enough to keep up.
The only problem I have with it is that you have to run the warm ups and cool downs separately even for the fast track segments.

Date: 2007-06-12 03:12 pm (UTC)1 Minute Workout might be a series (I never checked), and there might be one that places less stress on your arms.
