Knitting #1


Knitting has been on my list of new year's resolutions for a few years now. So I finally did it. I went out and bought some wool and taught myself how to knit. I am not that great, but from far away I don't think you can really tell. So far I've made one scarf and one scarflet/neckwarmer thing. It started off really difficult, and it still is because I haven't figured out how to fix stitches, I just start from the beginning again. It's been a lot of fun buying the wool, looking up patterns and learning how to knit. I just put some episodes of grey's anatomy or gilmore girls on and I just knit. Time passes really quickly. I have stayed up way past midnight knitting. Hahaha. I'm such a party animal!

I bought some grey and orange wool because I've wanted a grey and orange striped scarf for ages but never quite found the right one.

Bookfest

I was practically broke this week because last weekend I spent my last $20 at bookfest. Look what $20 can buy! I was pretty impressed that I managed to find the first three books in the Jason Bourne series. I will have to find the others in January. I have to hunt harder for the James Patterson books. Luckily I only had $20 or else I would have had to carry a lot more books home! I got tired pretty quickly and didn't even manage to see everything. Overall it was a great hunt.
