  • Merry Merry!

    Christmas break!!!

    Finals are over, all went well, or at least well enough.  I do so love curves.

    Home is lovely, except the weather sucks.  Tshirts and flip flops do not equal Christmas.  Have been mostly very productive.  Did some scrapbooking, Christmas shopping, reading, cleaning, lots of knitting and CSI watching.  Am thinking about my grad apps.  Unfortunately, thinking will not actually get them done, but that's coming...

    I joined the ranks of Tricoteuses Sans Frontières (Knitters Without Borders) with my donation to Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), as per the encouragement of the Harlot.  Think about it.

    Most of the things I'm working on are still supertopsecret but I can share some pictures of Mike's scarf, now that he has received it:

    It looks like there is color variation but that's just the shadows from the blinds.  It's Caron's Simply Soft Brites in Lemonade; as requested, a bright yellow scarf.  Garter stitch the entire way, begun in New Mexico and finished in Tuscany.  A well traveled scarf.

    Tomorrow, Mom has signed us up for a beading class and I am so excited!  I plan to learn how to make my own stitch markers because they are so pretty but generally more expensive than I can justify.
