Sryashta spins golden yarn inside which she weaves your fate. (If you are a good and kind person, she may just take matters into her own capable hands and improve it.)
She is the goddess of good fortune and serves as the household assistant of Mokosh, the Slavic earth goddess.
Sryashta is a variant of the Dolya/Nedolya myth.

i have discovered that knitting needles are most useful for PUTTING YOUR EYES OUT when you are incapable of deciphering online instructions on "turning" stitches.

Not being a knitter my own self, I can only issue a supposition...but I think it's safe to say that maybe reading Oedipus Rex before getting with the yarn isn't the smartest thing to do.

It's gorgeous!
It'll be a sweater in NO TIME.
I'm busy knitting up a slipcover - for my couch.
Dude, this is why I CROCHET.
I am CROCHETY.
Yeah, I haven't had luck in this either...
Its beautiful and even! Yay for casting on and knitting. You'll have a nice potholder in no time at all.
it's destined to be a scarf for nekkid Mimi - pictures of course forthcoming...
will Seg allow Mimi to wear clothes?
yes, for some reason now he will. he actually asked for the scarf.
do you suppose she's a house elf and he wants to free her? I could really use a house elf....
The idea of Badger crocheting, is so very very wrong.
I've had days like this.
Funny -- Suse is my knitting muse, too!
