third project

So I need to move on from scarves- but this was made upon specific request for Aaron for his birthday. And he looks pretty happy with it! Next: leg warmers!

second project

Here is my second project. Just trying to learn another stitch- It went very fast!

first project

So clearly this was my first project, but I'm pretty happy with the results. I finished this scarf last week for my sister's birthday present but had to wait to share it until I gave it to her last night.

Even though its all just a simple knit stitch, I think the width of the scarf makes it cozy and nice. I used worsted weight peruvian highland wool in purple, but pulled from two skeins at once and used 15 gauge needles for a thicker knit. I hope Katie likes it! I had fun making it and was so happy with the outcome I think I'll make the same for myself. 

some awesome things...

-I made an awesome split pea soup tonight. so yummy. 

-I was reminded of how aaron and I connected over ben harper.

-I sold my first ebay item and am on to the second!

-I found out I am not behind my cohort in thesis progress/ job search. In fact I'm ahead of some!

-I'm knitting so fast I had to take a week off so as not to spend too much on yarn.

leaving on a jet plane... actually in a car

so I'll be leaving for NYC either in about an hour, driving through the night. I've never been to New York and can't wait to experience it! So I'll be gone for a few days. I'm also teaching myself to knit in the car, so i hope to update on my progress for that. Have a great New Years Eve!
