Christmas Presents

Michael's is selling GLOW IN THE DARK yarn. Of course, I had to have it. It is expensive but I bought it with a 20% discount coupon. I am starting to crochet Christmas Presents. I finished a scarf which I crocheted with HOMESPUN, and another with Caron's Simply Soft. Both show evidence of my different emotions. One evening I was really angry, I couldn't sleep. I crocheted and crocheted and crocheted fiercely. I look at the scarf now and I can see the stitches from that night! Great outlet and a lot easier than scrubbing floors. I wouldn't get an A on gauge.

I am taking a course called MEDIA TECHNOLOGY, and am reading the Non-Designer's Design book by Robin Williams for the course. It is good and I have already applied some of the knowledge to both my crocheting and my work. However, Robin, the author, really has a couple of things wrong, and I am sorry she is talking as if she is the expert in the field because if she were she would know better. She inisists that only one space be placed after the period of a sentence instead of the two we use now. She says this applys to typing on a PC. How wrong she is!! A PC is a lot easier to use, but the end result is a printed page for both ways. And two spaces is more pleasing to the eye and more organized to the eye. She also has a couple of flyers which she considers better than some others, but I sure don't. Anyway, I found out that I am actually using colors in appropriate combinations. She should stick to colors and design not punctuation rules for text.
