For those who don't know, I recently decided to teach myself how to knit. I've never lived completely alone before and I quite simply have no idea what to do with myself on weeknights anymore. I'm accustomed to coming home from work, making and eating some dinner and hanging out with my honey. When I had roommates, it was much the same, just replacing the honey with a friend. But now, there's no one but my cat, Tuesday, to hang out with. And, being on a much tighter budget and having to wake up early for work in the morning, I can't really get away with going out everytime I'm bored. So, I needed something productive to do. And with a few pointers to get me started from Liz plus a couple of books (I recommend the Klutz book for the novice), I turned into a knitting monster. Added bonus - cheap christmas presents. Score! And I have already made the following things, in this order: a skinny scarf, a wallet, a thick funky scarf, a purse, and a hat. Now, I'm on the quest for new projects to try that I can do with the needles and yarns that I already have before I go out and buy more supplies. Well, I have found what is officially my favorite knitting/crafting website on the entire freakin' planet. And, as proof of just how out of control cool it is, I present you with this: The AntiCraft.com - Old Reliable No more boring scarves and hats for me! Haha!!
Anyway, I'll get bored of knitting once I've made the gazillionth christmas present, so I've already started planning for the new year. First, I'll be starting classes for my undergrad HR certificate from Northeastern. Second, starting a swimming class so I can get my technique back and hopefully start swimming more regularly again. And last, but certainly not least, a stand-up comedy course. The new year will be anything but dull.
