Oh hello..

So I might have died, but no worries I have returned from the abyss that was living out of my car for the year. Ok I still live out of my car, but only for a few more days, then I am really homeless, and then I am moving to Connecticut, so all is good.

I am back in Virginia, finishing up my last rotation... 4 days left to be exact. Oh what a lovely number that is... Friday might be the greatest day of life EVER!!! and really I am not exaggerating at all. First it's my birthday, which automatically makes it an awesome day, it's the last day of med school, and really life doesn't get much better than that. But on top of all of that, it's my best friend Sarah's Bachelorette party. So pretty much the most fun had in all of history all in one day... oh can't it be Friday yet?

Then Monday it's off to CT to find a place to live, play in NYC for a few days, see Spamalot for my Birthday, hit up Boston for some food and times with friends. And my sister is joining me for the CT-NYC-BOSTON trip.. so that should be FUN!!!!

After all of that... Sarah's wedding, then 4 day cruise to Mexico with my other bff's Michelle and Gerri. I'll get to spend a little bit of time in Florida, hanging with the family, etc. Then back to VA for another wedding and then GRADUATION!!!!! *** does happy dance***

So that's the recap of what's going on. I am not uber stressed out about the housing thing yet, but I might get there Monday as I drive to CT.

On the knitting front... I've finished a couple of pairs of socks. A 2x2 ribbed sock made from Noro... the yarn is kinda scratchy when you knit with it, but once on... I didn't notice anything and it's very warm. My toes will be toasty warm.


I finished Charade for my momma. I put them in the mail this afternoon. I am sure she will forget to be nice to them, but that's ok. They look nice right now.


I made Knitty's Coronet with some lovely hand spun yarn I got from a LYS in Gainesville (Hanks Yarn). Very lovely store... if you are ever down in Florida.. you should visit. They were by far one of my favorite yarn stores of the many I visited this year.


As always I have a million WIPs... the forefronts are Cozy V Neck Pullover from Fitted knits... in Vermilion Malabrigo. The yarn is a lovely shade of red, the name makes me giggle, and it's just the softest yarn. I want to knit sheets out of it and wrap myself in the yarn...
(the picture was taken before I got to the ribbing.. so I am further along now)


On Ravelry.. the Mosaic Maniacs are doing an online KAL of the Lace Ribbon Scarf from knitty. I am 2 repeats in. I am using Schaefer yarn Anne. I don't the exact colorway, but it's red/pink/orange. It should match my lovely red sweater.


I am sure I'll cast on another sock in a day or so.. I like to have a pair on needles at all times. They travel so well and fit in coat pockets. I really don't sit around and do nothing very well.

I also have Jeanie on the needles... but this is going to be a long process for her. It's not a terribly hard pattern, I just have to pay attention and it's time consuming. Eventually I will finish.


Well I think that's about it.. hope all is well.
