I was busy in September knitting up a little toy:
It’s an Alot based on the pretty funny Hyperbole and a Half’s “The Alot is Better Than You at Everything”. I think it turned out pretty cute. I call it “Alot of Pink Saphire” and she was part of a Gringotts Wizarding Bank Heist on Ravelry
The best part is I learned a lot of new techniques whilst knitting this Alot. It used provisional cast on, short rows, and magic loop. Sweet! Now I have some new skills.
I’ve been busy reading this summer! I recently read Stieg Larsson’s Millennium series:
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The Girl Who Played with Fire (Vintage)
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest
It was pretty hard to get into, but once I was in, I was hooked. As a lawyer, I found the trial pretty unbelievable. I can’t wait to find a Swedish lawyer to talk with and ask if that is really how they run their litigation.
Over all, I recommend the series to anyone who like mysteries.
our sweet girl turns 4 today!
Every parent’s dream is that their children have the opportunities they did not, right? Well then mine is coming true! The last two days, Pat and I have been at University of Washington with our oldest for orientation. It looks like it will be a ton of fun! Living in the dorms, hanging out with other students, maybe study abroad for a quarter or so…. I wish I could have done all that.
The bad news is that I got really sick. I was sick all day yesterday during the parent sessions and it got worse as the day went on. I really don’t have time to be sick.
once again, I am behind on posting. I have been very busy on Ravelry, oh and of course work! Being pregnant has been weighing heavily on my mind. I can’t believe we are having another kid!! Ack!
I have a lot to do but no time. I have a super cute tea set I am knitting and a baby blanket. Pictures to follow…
