Apple, Chips, & Salsa

That's the food currently sitting on my desk. I decided to get my veggies AND fruit this morning...I'd been craving chips and salsa for weeks, so I finally bought some the other day. So tasty.

I knitted my first hat! I'm surprised it turned out so well - I was looking for an easy pattern but since I don't really do patterns, I just modified one I found. I absolutely cannot stand having to knit "in the round," which I've never done successfully, so I just knitted a flat hat and k2 together when the hat was big enough. Then you just sew it up the back! Only a few hours knit time, very simple.

I got some cool knitting books at the library so hopefully inspiration strikes and I can do all sorts of cool things - there are patterns in there for knitted boxes (!!!)...and I found out that I can knit things in miniature using my 0 size needles! (I've already done blankets, but I have plans for rugs, washcloths, boxes, and beanies)

That's about all the excitement for today.

No book cover for Mae: Intergalactic Au Pair yet, and the packing is going but slow until we get boxes next week. Luckily, ALL our extra stuff will be gone by Saturday, so that's nice. A small Christian thrift store offered to pick everything up!!!

And now to begin planning out the decorating for the apartment...we'll have to do it slowly, piece by piece, but Stu is taking the bedroom (modern black/white), I'm doing the living room (old world brown/red/orange/gold), and we're doing the kitchen together (Asian red/black). I'm pretty excited!

That's it for today.
