Wilkommen! Bienvenue! Welcome!

Just because I didn't have enough to do (see below), I decided to start a blog. I imagine this will be primarily knitting- and dessert-related, but who knows what else might sneak its way in.

So.

What I'm doing right now:

1. Starting my externship (yes it's the same thing as an internship, no I don't know why my school calls it that) at Sarah's Pastries and Candies - a delightful little shop in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago, stop by and buy something delicious! This means I get to get up tomorrow at 4:30am...YAY!
2. Going to Cubs games and hoping desperately that they win.
3. Knitting Berroco's Panobo shrug in a glorious green color...

1. Finishing my dad's Hannukah present (sorry, Dad) a pillow-that-ate-Chicago from Melanie Falicks' amazing Handknit Holidays. It's been on the needles since December '05 ~shudder~ I just need to stuff it and seam up the last side...pics to follow.
   
2. Trying to keep my tivo below 90% full.

So as you can see, starting a blog now = brilliant idea.
