Comment on this post and I will pick seven interests from your profile. You then make a post in your journal explaining what the interests are and what they mean to you.

Here are the seven that [livejournal.com profile] keladry_lupin picked out for me:

1. yarns: I learned to knit last autumn and discovered the beauty and variety of yarns. It is a fascinating world, not just the very many varieties of wool but newer materials, such as paper, corn, soy, hemp, bamboo. Wearing a pair of socks made from bamboo is just seriously cool.

2. paco de lucia: He's a Spanish guitarist who almost single-handedly brought Flamenco to mainstream worldwide. His style is unique and watching him play is kind of experiencing a musical orgasm.

3. hollow earth: One of my favoured books when I was a child was Jules Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Earth, and the idea that there is life in the middle of the earth fascinated me.

4. raw milk: I like dairy products, but am saddened that milk has been processed beyond recognition before it reaches the tables. I wish it would be left up to the customer whether or not we want our milk pasteurized, homogenized and whatever else -ized.

5. soap making: It's a hobby of mine. As addictive as writing, musicking, knitting, cheese-making. I don't do it often these days, mainly due to time constraints. I need a Time-Turner. *nods*

6. john mclaughlin: The American answer to Paco de Lucia.



7. free energy: The technology to create electricity that doesn't use the earth's resources has been around for a good hundred years. I don't like the fact that it's suppressed in the name of making money.

I (or rather Drone - but since we are married I consider it as mine) own a CD recorded by Paco de Lucia, John McLaughlin and Al di Meola called "Passion Grace & Fire". Really good stuff!

Yay for yarn!

I'm part way through frogging an old jumper to knit into something else. Recycling it is half the fun, i think. I'm going to add some silver crochet thread to it. (It's light blue, 100% cotton)

I try not to go to the dept. stores to look at yarn... I spend ages there and the temptation to buy things is too much. :D

Noticeably NOT a subset of my interests list! Where did #4 come from?

I'll post something on them later.
