Well, not a lot really. Actually, my life's been kinda dull lately. And most of what I've been pondering would not be appropriate blog-fodder. Thus the lack of posting.
But things are about to get more interesting. Tomorrow we start interviewing RAs for next year, which I really enjoyed last year. Then Saturday I fly northward to Louisville to visit my suitor for the weekend (staying with one of his elders and family down the street, just so that's clear), and I come back Monday night for more RA interviews Tuesday and Thursday.
In my knitting endeavor, behold the finished backpack! Although, I was lookin

this website trying to figure out why knitting through the back of a stitch seemed so much harder to me than it needed to be, and the best I can figure is that when I thought I was purling, I was actually knitting through the back of the stitch, which probably means I need to relearn how to purl. *sigh* An evening of stitchin' and Austen with
Kiersten would probably set me straight, but first we would have to get either me there or her here, neither of which seems likely to happen for several weeks, anyway. I shall have to settle for video demonstrations in the meantime. But I am determined to get it figured out, because
this site has me thoroughly inspired. If you are at any level skilled in the ways of the yarn, I highly recommend it. And it's totally worth having to wait in line for a couple of weeks.

My house is a no-knitting zone. My roommate and I decided a while ago that since we have a cat, we cannot also knit...else we run the risk of becoming crazy, knitting cat ladies. But every now and then I wish I had learned "the ways of the yarn."
ooo cute bag! I love green...
As for knitting, I still find crochetting much faster, but I do like how it has tighter-stitches/smaller-holes.
I think that that purl vs. stitch problem was why I had so much trouble trying to learn last winter! I'll have to check out that site!
