Keepin busy!!

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!
