Ok..so here we go

I've just been able to knit a little because.....my paper is finished. My master's essay is finnnnnnalllly done. (Thank You Jesus!!!!) I just have to print and bind 3 copies and drop them off with my professor to sign and its over. It's been a long journey and I'm glad that I can say that with my friends and family's constant pressuring, I've finished it. Most thanks goes to my Hunny who kept telling me that he knew that i could do it!. He is the bestest ever!

I started knitting a plain sock because that's all i could concentrate long enough to knit whilst in the middle of re-write after re-write of my essay. I'm using the left over yarn from the socks that I knit my boyfriend earlier in the year.



I also finished my jaywalkers. they are just lovely....a little loud in color, but i like them anyway. who doesn't need a pair of bright socks to brighten up your day ever know and then.



I started a coffee mug cozy for my work coffee cup since at work a lot of us use the company cups we were given and they all look exactly the same. I saw a pattern for one on ravelry but the bottom of my cup is too big for the cozy to wrap under the bottom of the cup, so i just took the same stitch pattern out of a stitch pattern book I own and am making one that just wraps around the outside edge of the cup. i am using left over malabrigo from a hat I made my aunt earlier in the year.




finally i though i'd leave you with a picture of the shrimp pasta that my hunny made for dinner last week, it was absolutely incredible. He is the best cook i have ever meet hands down and he cooks all the time...lucky me ;-)



I also managed to finish reading the last harry potter book, it was pretty good. I started reading another book called "Three Cups of Tea; one man's mission to promote peace one school at a time", i'm only on page 20 but it's not to bad. Nesx i want to read "The secret life of bees" but my local library was checked out so i have to wait a few weeks for it.

So life is good here. hope your day is going well.

Wow I don't believe that it's been 1 year since I started blogging. I've started other blogs and let them go, but I've been pretty consistent with posting regularly with this one, so congrats to me! As far as knitting go I'm done with my second jaywalker and just need to kitchener the toe closed. This means I can cast on for another pair of socks...yeah. I'm gonna use the left over sock yarn from making my hunny's socks and make a short pair of plain socks for me. I like hand knit socks alot but yarn is expensive so stash hunting for these it shall be. I have also managed to almost finish the back of the trellis baby sweater that I started way back in May. All that is left to finish is the collar shaping and the back is done. When I showed it to my grandmother and my mother both of them said that they wanted a cardigan just like it in their size. I told them if they bought the yarn I'd make it for them....so we will see what comes of that.

I really don't have time to blog, I've been seriously trying to finish my Master's essay. I have 31 pages written and have already got it back from my professor with the first round of edits. I've corrected all the grammar errors and added my references page and now have to add a few pieces of information that my professor thinks will be useful. I have to have the final paper turned in by Nov 28 in order for me to graduate in December, so I will be working on the additional info tonight and throughout the weekend so i can turn another copy into my professor by Monday.

Besides that everything is going well, hope all is well with you.

Monday

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes for my step dad, his surgury went just fine, my g-pa also had surgury and he is doing fine. My mom lost her god-mom yesterday, and while it was sort of expected (she was waiting on a heart)...death never is really goes over well....just one of those things in life.

I've decided that i need a new beret for the fall, since it's already freakin' cold here in MI, so I think a brown beret will help welcome fall on back. I'm still working on the jaywalkers, i've got a long foot and so it's taking a while.

I also finished reading book 5 in the harry potter books and have started book 6, i'm already on page 72.

I need to find either a new job that pays more or a part time gig.....but then again who doesn't in the rough economic times.

hope everyone has a good monday!
