21 days of DW: day 5

[clare_dragonfly]

5. How about when you're not on the computer?
What's that mean? ;) Okay, I read, pet my cats and rabbit, and try to exercise a little. I'm trying to take my dog for walks (as opposed to leaving it for my parents to do, not as opposed to letting her suffer walkless) more often. I also knit a lot, but usually I'm on the computer while I'm doing that, either listening to podcasts or reading blogs.

Fascinated question: how do you knit while reading blogs? Wouldn't scrolling down get in the way kinda?

[clare_dragonfly]

It does, which is very annoying. I try to get as much text on the screen as possible each time I scroll. I don't knit anything complicated while I'm reading, usually just plain stockinette, garter, or ribbing, so there's no (or very little) counting and I can drop the right needle to get the mouse any time. Someday I will have a bigger monitor and won't have to drop the knitting as often!

You should totally get one of those monitors that you can rotate into portrait styles to give it as much up-down space as possible!

That would rock. I will keep that in mind for when I have money XD

You'll want something with "swivel", I think, like this:

Money and space. Yes, that will be lovely.
