very productive

how my night started...
.
how it ended!

my bf has been bugging me to make a little toy for his dog, and i managed to whip one up in one night! the toy is a sibling of bob the blob that i made for baby will. and of course i knit with a little help from the food network of course.... :)

i still have to fill it and put the face on, but pishposh, i'm counting this one as done!

back in the groove

yesterday i took to the park and did some solo knitting in public. it was the perfect weather for knitting outside, not too hot or humid. and i was using arcylic so you know if my hands were even a little hot, i wouldn't have been able to touch it! yuck. sadly, i didn't see anyone else knitting in public! i hardly ever do...oh swells.

i always think people give me the funniest looks when i take pictures of my knitting. like that's the craziest thing they've seen all day! doubt it! ;)

and last night during a marathon tv watching session, i finished this pair of mitts! i only have one more pair for the girls' xmas gifts. the last pair i have to do is for my 6 yr. old cousin. i've been thinking about just leaving out one of the cable sections, so there will only be two and also making them shorter. does that sound about right? in my head, i'm picturing 6 yr. old hands to be teeny tiny.

it feels good to be gettin' my knit back on! whenever i don't knit for a week or so, i get scared that i'll pick it back up and totally forget everything i knew...i know, i'm nuts! :)

quality knitting time

happy wwkip day! i had plans to go to central park and meet-up with a group that's knitting up there...but i'm so lazy! i might just take to the streets and knit in public by myself. :)

i have been getting in some quality knitting time lately though! i'm housesitting for a friend and for some reason, cable and knitting go together oh so perfectly. hehe. i have been enjoying all the bridezillas i can possibly stand, it's been lovely. i'm about halfway done with the 4th panel of my brother's graduation blanket. he graduates in exactly one week!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! i just realized that, hmm. well, he may be getting this gift a wee bit late. oops. :)

reunited and it didn't feel so good

i have finally been reunited with all of my yarn! wahoooooooooo! the only problem was getting it from the post office to my apartment. i knew it was going to be a pain, literally. i really need to invest in one of those granny carts!

the post office is always an interesting/dangerous time. i completely understand why they have 5 ft. thick bulletproof glass. and i had such an unpleasant surprise! the really mean lady who used to work at my old post office (in a totally different neighborhood) is now working at this one!!! what the?!?!?! i shoulda known.

anywhos, i got my boxes and i came prepared....kinda. i had a backpack and a bag to stuff yarn into knowing the boxes would just be awkward to carry. but i ended up having to carry the bigger box. my arms are going to be so sore tomorrow. if i keep getting packages, i'm going to be so buff! here is what i had to carry about 7 blocks...aka my cardio for the day. ;)

om 1, knit 2

i got a change to work on my dashing between work and class...i can't believe it's taking me so long to finish one mitten! the knitting machine days are long gone. ;) good thing the studio has the perfect little knitting spot.

paper fans & parks

i went back to the fair and managed to walk away without breaking the bank at all! i only bought a cool paper fan (comes in handy so much, trust me!) and some yummy soap! there was a ton of cool stuff, but money is tight these days so i had to show some self-control. :)

then i went to a bday party in the park, it was good times. i think i'm finally getting some sun, yay!!! and since i went there with my friend patrice, i didn't wander around the park for an hour before i found them...like last time. hehe

i can't believe i've been here a week already! it's been great so far...and i even saw this today! they must have seen me comin'. ;)

jai ma

tonight i worked a kirtan at the yoga studio. it was led by a teacher from the studio who moved to teach at the san fran location. it was great, lots of yogis, lots of looooove. i'm so exhausted! but the good kind of exhausted. :)

my knitting has totally been on the backburner lately. it makes me sad! i don't know if it's because i'm so busy or because it's so hot. but i promise to get it going soon!

nightnight.
