Merry Christmas!

Hello blogreaders (if there's any left)! To say it's been a while would be an understatement. The fall semester was really rough, so that I barely had any time to myself. My schedule for the last 2 weeks of the semester can pretty much sum up how tiring it was...



So of course, after that hell, I had to get away. I just came back from sunny Mexico - Playa del Carmen to be exact. It was fun and much needed, and I'm definitely bummed to be back in the frigid cold.

What else has happened in the 3 months since I last blogged...I got a new kitty companion for Nermal! Munchkin is such a cutie! Nermal was a little grumpy toward her at first, but now they are good friends. In fact, as I type this, Munchie is using Nermal's butt as a pillow while they sleep together.

the adorable pic that was Cute Overload worthy =)

Knitting-wise, I've been on a shawl kick...knitted another Woodland Shawl out of Smooshy since my last blog post, and started a Japanese Feather Stole. Which I had to frog because of getting my KP needles confiscated at the Cancun Airport (grumble grumble). Since I have no needles for that shawl now at home in NYC, I'm working on getting my Prismatic done. AND, I finally got a loom! Been pining for that for a while, and decided that I really really really want it now, and it would be great for using up random 1-skeiners in the stash. My bf bought it for me as an early birthday present (thanks again, hun!)...it's a 20" Schacht Flip rigid heddle loom. Can't wait to start playing with it!!

That's all for now. I hope it's not another 3 months or more before I blog again! Wishing everyone a safe and happy holidays! And Happy 2009!
