I can't wait until I am done knitting the ruffled cap-sleeve cardigan I started last month, so I can get started on this! I bought some really cool soy yarn that is so soft! This pattern is so me! My first attempt at lace, but I'm not scared! I am getting bored with plain st st!!
Jenn got me into Ravelry.com a really cool online knitting facebook type website. Whenever i am interested in a pattern, i can find pictures of about 20 other people who have knitted the same thing. it's so cool!!!
Lots and lots of other stuff going on too! Getting ready for my trip to Oregon next month. Picking up lots of shifts and looking forward to taking a whole week off to go on a great road trip with Matthew and doing lots of hiking and exploring!
Been off the patches for a few days now. Once again, I was totally dreading it, but I am doing suprisingly well. No freak outs. Yet . . .
Also, very exciting project starting next week. Sarah got me involved in a research project at SJSU. I need some more experience to put on my grad school applications, also hopefully some more letters of recommendation, so I will be doing my first research assistant internship. I have no idea what I will be doing yet, but the topic is dual drug use. I was told it includes nicotine and tobacco, which is something I am interested in studying right now.
hope to post some pics soon of my finished cardigan! stay tuned!
It was so friggin hot today! I had to work a party outside on the patio, so by the time I went to the store after work, all I could think about was whipping up a huge tasty salad for dinner. I went to the salad dressing aisle for inspiration. There I found a bottle of low-fat asiago balsamic dressing, which made me grab bacon bits and grilled chicken, some fresh cucumber and feta cheese. I tossed it all up with some fresh ground garlic sea salt and pepper and threw some garlic caesar dressing into the mix too, and viola!
I think I will add some dried cranberries and maybe some sunflower seeds or cashews tomorrow. Needs some crunchy/savory . . .
