How I did it
How to knit a hat
It took me
1 week
It made me
accomplished

How I did it: I took a four hour class (two evenings) at a local knitting shop. The class included four hours of instruction, a simple pattern, and all the wool and tools we needed to finish the project. The cost was $80 (Canadian).The instructor showed us how to cast on 'in the round'. I learned a new cast on technique. I followed up by watching that same technique demonstrated on YouTube to make sure I was doing it correctly (in fact, I wasn't).Most … Read how I did it…

How to contact 20 old friends
It took me
2 years
It made me
un-lonely

How I did it: I first made a list of people I wanted to get in touch with. I revised this list as I discovered that some people were no longer find-able, adding new people.  Whenever had chanced upon the memory of an old friend, I would add them to my list and try to find them. Read how I did it…

knit a hat (read all 3 entries…)
Done! 1 month ago

It took me a week and felt like a process of ‘one step forward, two steps back’ because I kept making mistakes and ripping out rows to start over again.

In the end, it was a great learning experience. I have a new hat to match my scarf and more importantly, I have a new skill! I’m already working on my second hat. :-)

Fall is nearly here and I figured that knitting classes would be starting up again. I was right! On Friday, I found a class at a funky knitting store that was literally starting up that very evening. I’m now 8 rows into a very soft, funky purple hat (with earflaps!) I learned a new method of casting on and I’m knitting ‘in the round’! Decreasing comes next.

Not doing so well with this goal. I tend to eat out rarely and at the same places all the time.

7) Burrito Bandidos: New place in my ‘hood. It’s now an old favourite.
