Moved... but still no internet

Well, everything is now in the house (though no where near put away). Except a cable line. It was supposed to be installed today, but apparently when I told them "we don't have any outlets or anything, you need to install them" they didn't realize they needed to install everything. So now I have to wait longer for internet at my house. This coffee is getting expensive. At least I have my yarn, lol. Hope you all are well!

Moving Sucks

Hey guys. OK... so I have no internet (horray for coffee shops with WiFi!)... no furniture... nothing to knit except one sock. Life is stressful. But I thought I'd try to get a short blog entry in.. and I even remembered my memory card so I can add a few pictures!

I'll start with my first package from my Facebook Secret Knitting pal! She's from Canada and got me some yarn from a nearby wool mill (I think that's where it was from.. made locally for sure!) Anyways, it's some wool that is nice and warm. I haven't quite decided what to do with it though. Here's a pic of the contents:


And here's the package from my SP 11 pal! It was AMAZING! I have already kind of described the contents, so I think that for now... pictures will tell all:

(yeah, that's right, my pal is AWESOME!)

Moving

Hi.

I know. I PROMISED that I would post as soon as I got back. But it turns out that I'm moving... tomorrow. So I haven't had much time to breathe, let alone compose a blog entry covering the past 1.5-2 months. So. I'm leaving tomorrow, will hopefully be signing a lease for a rental house on Friday, and will post a big huge blog entry this coming weekend.

Hope you all are well... I feel an ulcer coming on.

REALLY bad blogger!

Hey.

Well I was planning on bringing my laptop with me to Madison and writing this big huge entry with all of these great pictures and stories about the last month and a half. But of course I forgot my computer at home. Life has been crazy busy. Between driving to Madison for interviews and trying to pack up all of my belongings, I haven't had a lot of spare time. And the time I did have I wanted to knit! But it's looking really good that I've found a job (I have an interview tomorrow that is really more of a formality) and it looks like C and I will be moving to Madison ASAP. So hopefully sometime in the next few weeks I will have pictures of a new apartment and new stash storage location. And.. I PROMISE that once I get back home I will immediately get out my computer and write a huge post about knitting.

In the meantime.... I got my first SP11 package... and it was AMAZING! I can't thank my SP enough! I got a ball winder (which will definitely come in handy for all my Wollmeise, etc) and she also got me a skein of STR in Seastone (I think that's what it was called... I don't have it with me). GORGEOUS. And I think best of all she got me a copy of Knitting Vintage Socks.... SIGNED BY NANCY BUSH! Yes, that's right people, Nancy Bush told me to enjoy knitting her sock patterns. I was speechless! And no one was home for me to gush to, lol. I will definitely post pictures of it when I'm back on my own computer.

Anyways, I guess that is all for now as I am on a computer in the hotel lobby. I should get ready for my interview tomorrow anyways. I will try to be a better blogger... life is just getting in the way currently..... Sorry!
