I took a long long long break, but I'm still alive. After the defense I went home for holiday vacation and had the greatest time. I ate a lot! Want to see how we roast a whole pig!?!? Here you have it...
This is an important part of our traditional holiday food! It was out of this world good. So other than food, I had enough time to share with my family and relax. Oh! I also went to the beach (on December!).
When I came back, my thesis was waiting for me to be modified and submitted. The deadline was January 16, 2007. So, it is over now. I have a real MS although I'm still waiting for my diploma. But I'm happy... it is over.
Now I'm looking for a job. It's so difficult being a grown up!!! Who knew!?!?!
In the knitting front I finished a calorimetry. I know! Another one!!! They've been popping out everywhere but I have to make one. I finished it in one night... couldn't put it down. You know, they say you shouldn't leave your knitting when you're in the middle of a row... so I'm good at following instructions. Hehe! Here it is...
I used a lonely ball of Knit Picks Andean Treasure yarn in Embers Heathers. I love the color and the yarn is so soft and lofty... hmmm... dreamy! I also started a toe-up sock following Wendy's pattern. I don't have a lot of experience with socks, so we'll see how it comes out. And that's it!
At the same time I started quilting... or I started trying to quilt. Like with crochet and knitting, I'm completely self taught. I'm reading books and magazines and everything I can put my hands on about quilting. I'm having a great time with it. I'm piecing the top now... trying to put it together as perfect as possible. I'll show the final product when I'm done.
I mentioned before the Sampler but didn't have posted pics of the goodies I got. Here they are in all their glory. These are two samplers. The first pic is the November Sampler and the second is the December/January Sampler.
I love the Sampler... it's a great opportunity for you to get unexpected (you don't know what's inside until you open the package) mail and also learn about the many wonderful and blooming indie stores around. I'm not going to mention all the stuff I got but if you want more details send me an email!
