Knitting is a disease

I mentioned I took up knitting. You start knitting, and you can't stop. It's a real sickness.

My husband may kill me because I've discovered this very neat yarn shop. My first purchase was $50 of yarn + one needle.

My first finished project was from Knitty.

There it is over to the side. Some mistakes, but for my first knitting attempt I was quite happy.

I started working on another project which I am getting ready to unravel and try again. I began working in the round with circular needles. That part wasn't bad, but I didn't realize that stockinette stitch in the round is done differently than when flat. Ooops. Oh well, I'll unravel it and try again.

Life after nursing school

It's so weird. I have an employee badge now, and I start work after the new year. I feel very odd.

Oh, I need to mention I won an award at our pinning. I got the clinical excellence award much to my surprise!

What else is new? I hate Christmas this year. I have no money. I cry over my cat every single night still.

We did manage to get our plumbing fixed so it no longer floods the basement if you flush (yeah, that was bad). That's partly why I'm broke. They had to cut out all the old cast-iron pipes and replace them.

I also have taken up knitting because I have nothing better to do. I am teaching myself, and teaching yourself to knit is somewhat hard.

I am finished with nursing school

I took my last final today, and I passed!!! Pinning is tomorrow! I AM SO HAPPY I am done.

Amos has lost his battle.

I have no energy to type. There is absolutely no happiness in me - I feel empty.
