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. :-)

Hat Lesson #1 2 months ago

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.

Untitled 2 months ago

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.
8) Beaverton Fish and Chips: On the way back from camping.
