my graduation present is this weekend. Eli set up a whole romantic weekend in chicago, complete with cubby's game. He even said the magic words, "save room in your suitcase for shopping!" whoo hoo! I haven't been shopping in forever. I haven't had a chance to do much knitting, too much school stuff going on. One of the cool things about studying to be a molecular scientist is that you get

What did I do now? if anyone reads this and knows how to fix it, can you tell me please? Everything on my sidebar is at the bottom.

1. Over in your sidebar you have one project on the needles. Do you really have only one? Seriously? Aren't you addicted yet? No, that's a lie. It took me so long to do just the one picture. I'm not exactly HTML savvy. I have 3 projects. The tasha bag, wavy scarf (from recycled sweater), and a collar that will have buttons (a new skill). The collar is also being made out of my

In hindsight, it's not a good idea to attach a non-declawed cat to your body. You are one loud noise away from injury. It definitely needs a safety release.

I thought I might have drama over my Terry Schiavo post. No such drama developed. I'm being harrassed by 17-20 year old girls because I messaged one of my male friends. It's so funny that these girls are jealous. He isn't dating any of them. I haven't had this kind of drama since I was 19 or so. It cracks me up. I wouldn't doubt it if they "followed" me here. I swear I'm putting

As a somewhat educated person in Neurology, I have to comment on this case. I'm seeing lots of religious leaders and lawyers but what I'm not seeing much of is neurologists. I think that it is safe to say that the people that are upset about this case are not upset about the legal process but are upset because they think that the court ruled to kill a person that has self awareness. If I were

I think I'm going to have to make this a weight loss blog too. I went to the doctor the other day for the dreaded annual. They weighed me and I weigh 12 pounds over the weight I swore I'd never reach. Damn it! I even rechecked at home. Not good news. So, I ate the weight watcher's meal at applebees today and went to 24 hour fitness for my first workout in a LONG time. Even if I'm not

My tasha bag is a bit blah right now. It will spice up when I add the cables and pockets.SoHo is pretty damn cute too. I have an incriminating picture of strewn cotton balls and a torn cotton ball bag, hmmmm who could have done it.

He really sleeps in this old 6 pack box of Boulevard wheat. He loves it. Also, if you get a chance to try Boulevard beer I recommend giving it a whirl. It's my favorite beer, and it's local to KC.

I finished my scarf on the way to the airport. Talk about cutting it close. I decided to do something else with the scarf. I folded it in half lengthwise and did an invisible seam. It actually turned out really cute. It was a fluffy skinny scarf. Since it is double layer it is perfect for their ski trip this weekend. I've asked my boyfriend to take a picture of it while they are on the

I'm almost done with my "mother-in-law's" scarf. It was suppose to be done at Christmas, but with school and procrastination it wasn't finished in time. I really want to just rip it out and do a different yarn. I used boulce and in this dark color (maroon) it looks like a towel. I'll put a pic in later so you can see the "towelness".

I don't understand how knitters are able to knit things for themselves and other people. I have a damn big list going of people wanting me to knit them things or complaining that I haven't knitted them anything. I haven't even knitted anything for myself and I have a shit load of knitting patterns stashed away. I LOVE knitty.com. The patterns are so funky and modern. I found a really cute

I made 2 hats for my cousin and she absolutely loved them. One hat I'm making again for myself. It was a plain white knit hat made with chunky yarn. I weaved a ribbon through the stitches around the

preventing brain lopsidosis I went to my first knitting meeting today. It's a group in Kansas City organized through Meetup.com I have a social anxiety so I though I would try it and try to be more social. Just sit, talk and knit. I got a lot more than I ever expected. My cousin who hasn't seen me since I was 8 months old was one of the organizers of the meeting. We had basically forgot

I had no idea what a blog was till the election. People blogging like crazy (or so I was told). This blog is like therapy for me. I use the right side of my brain way to much, so now it's time to give my left side some attention. I've completely fallen in love with knitting and I hope to use this site to track my progress. My first hat is coming soon!
