Real World: Chi-town.

So this is life.  A full time job that has no relevance to who I am or where I want to be (other than the miniscule amount of French I use once a week), a half-time course load that keeps me out of the house til 10:30 four nights a week and a complete lack of time to be creative for my own sake.

I know I appear to be knitting bunches lately, I need to keep my hands busy at lunch and between work and class, but I need to figure out how to find some time to be creative for my self.  Gil (from class) told me today that class projects are never going to get me a job.  And I am sure he is right, now to get on the ball and get some creating done.  I have a few things lined up to work on (the Project Linus chapter site, a site for a belly dancing group and using my alphabet project to write a book for the twins) but I can’t seem to find time.  I think my friends who already think I am not out enough are going to have to deal so that I can get some work done.

I started collecting pieces of jewelery to reconstruct as well as beads and findings so that I can make the jewelery for the Baumwolle site this weekend and next.  (Any volunteers to model it?  I might even let you keep the jewelery if you like it…)

I finished the red hat, started the gloves and finally bought the yarn to finish the belated birthday scary (hooray!)

The gloves took four attempts to cast-on (this is what I get for attempting to do something fancy) but are now coming along smootly.  Well, at least the glove that I have started is .
