| A Day Late! |
| Sunday, September 9, 2007 |
I know, I know I broke a promise. I am sorry all!
Other than working and school, I haven't been up to much lately. No new knitting, although I plan on starting the bag for my HSKS 3 swap soon. The problem is finding the perfect pattern. I believe I have already found the sock pattern that would go well with the yarn I got for her. Pounce, Moontear and I went to my favorite yarn store of all time today for Moontear's Birthday. So I picked up a couple of odds and ends I wanted to throw in the package for my pal!
I also made a purchase for myself. Take a look at this beautiful yarn! It's Hacho by Mirasol. 100% Hand Dyed Merino Wool.
These are eventually going to be made into this. Which works since Pounce is planning on making me a black and turqouise scarf and hat set. It should match wonderfully.
On the work front, I don't know if I mentioned that I had my yearly review and it went very well. I haven't heard anything about a raise yet but I am keeping my fingers crossed.
School, is going to be a pain this semester but I can handle it. Intermediate Algebra class will be the biggest challenge I have. I am not particularly fond of math and often feel like the dunce of the class. It was helpful that he went over the basics again. He reminded me of the things I had forgotten about. Biology - Environmental Sciences only sucks because it's on a Saturday. I think that working in a company of Environmental Engineers will be extremely helpful if I get stuck on anything.
A lot of people were curious about the sock yarn I was asking about. As much as I would KILL for that yarn. I didn't purchase it. I was just asking so that I would know what I was looking for when buying sock yarn for my pal. I love that particular colorway, I think it's beautiful. Thank you for all your help everyone, I appreciate it!
Oh, I can't lie. I think alot of my knitting time when to watching Deadwood. We got the second season on Friday. Any spare time I have had went to watching that. -=giggle=- What an awesome show!
Alright.. -=giggle=- I can't think of anymore to type at 3:30 in the morning so I am going to leave you for tonight. I'll probably blog more tomorrow when I am not as tired as I am right now.
Night night all!

Hacho has great colorway. I looked at the fingerless gloves and they are awesome. I just may add them to my knit list. I need something quick. Wishing you the best in school.

oooo like the yarn!!
How are you feeling btw???

Oooo...those would look nice as fingerless mitts! I think I forgot but...what are you going to school for? How are you feeling lately?

Such pretty yarn! I'm sure that I am going to feel terribly spoiled by the package you are sending me... I'll have to work extra hard to make sure my own swap partner is just as spoiled!
-
Cool yarn!!!! It makes me tired just reading about your schedule!!! I have 3/4 of a degree in mathmatics. I loved Algebra and some of the Calculas classes. But I do good to add 2 + 2 nowadays. :) If you don't use it, you loose it. :)

...I'd like my classes, if it weren't for the fact that my teacher talks too much :P.
