Silverfish & Eels
I have told you a bunch about the knitting aspect of my life but I really haven’t shared any of my academic experiences yet. Just as a general overview, I am a junior Biology Education Major with a minor in Environmental Science at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York. My freshman year was rough academically because I jumped on the opportunity to learn to row on the Marist Women’s...

When you can’t find your mistake, you have no choice but to stop and give it a rest. Otherwise you will go insane blindly taking out multiple rows. ::sigh:: Whoever said knitting was relaxing obviously wasn’t trying to expand their abilities.

This would be me...

B(lizzard)-Day
Tomorrow is my wonderful boyfriend Tim’s 22nd birthday. One problem…blizzard. I am hoping the roads clear enough that I can travel and spend a good portion of the day with him. For Christmas he got me an apron inspired by my favorite webcomic, Questionable Content. I love it! I also got a very cozy purple Snuggie from his dad so I can knit while staying warm and a nifty ball winder...

Queue
I have added the Shroom hat to my queue. It will be a belated Christmas present for my amazing friend Emily. Check out her blog! She makes and sells beautiful handmade jewelry! I am considering selling some of my knitted works alongside her at a craft fair or two next summer.
