Been MIA 4 awhile but have lots of new ideas & cant wait 2 start posting again on a regular basis. Need needles quick? Substitute pencils 4 needles in a bind.

Fractured foot + crutches for 6 weeks = not getting much done. My arms & hands are bruised badly so not able to knit. :'( Happy knitting to those that can.

Make your own yarn:
Cut up old plastic bags into strips, tie strips together (end to end), and wind into ball. Great way to recycle bags. :)

Amazing = Chocolates and Knitting

This week has been a long weeek and unfotunately it is only Tuesday. I have been very busy trying to deal with various nuisances. I have spent many hours trying to sort out the issues with my Comcast account and many more hours helping my dad remember everything he needs for his roadtrip on Thursday. I have also been juggling school work as well as preparing for graduation later this year. I am both excited and nervous for upcoming events. There is still much I need to think about and do with regards to my future.

Now for the few exciting events of this week. First I bought a new knitting book off of Amazon, which is where I whole-heartedly reccommend you get your knitting books. The sellers are really reliable and the book arrived really fast (~2 days). :) The book is Holiday Knits. I actually blogged about this book a few weeks ago, but will joyfully remind my readers of its contents.

Holiday Knits is a delightful book comprised of various knitting projects chosen with Christmas in mind, but that can actually be used year-round. I especially like that the authors, Allison Isaacs and Sara Lucas, divided the book into three sections: short weekend projects, week-long projects, and longer projects lasting 2 weeks or more. There are gifts for everyone from scarves to pillows along with pages of great advice. I will not give more away as I want this wonderful book to be a terriffic surprise.

Secondly, Ghiradelli chocolates is an amazing chocolate company. I was able to get 2-5 shipping for $4.95 along with a wonderfully wrapped box, which kept the chocolates from becoming warm. I was positively delighted over the wrapping, but also the quick shipping. The shipping I selected waas 2-5 days, but it arrived in a day! Amazing. I heartily reccommend you ordering chocolates today! :)

I feel awful. I haven't been a good blog writer and I apologize to my faithful readers. My excuse? School. I have been buried in reading for class. Xo
