Hawaii is too cool for you!

Well, I'm still here. The mainland looks like less and less of a good idea . BUT I HAVE MY DREAM SUMMER JOB! AT CORNING! That's right baby, shop technician in one of the best teaching shops on the east coast. Uh huh.

I still haven't knit anything, cause I'm still in Hawaii with none of my projects. I'm going back on the 25th or something like that tho. And then I have to prep for an iron pour in April, pack up and sell my condo in May, and then move to Corning for almost four months. I even found a place to stay, with a deck and a place to park my car and everything. $800 a month with everything included.

I plan to knit a few sweaters this summer too. Maybe I'll get ambitious and knit another Rogue. I need to finish my foundry sweater, and I'm actively considering knitting a sweater for a guy I know who might need one. But I like him, so I don't know if I want to jinx that. Eeesh.

Anyway, off to lunch with the mother. Lovelovelovelove.

Oh, uh. . .hi.

Wow, I'm a slacker.

I'm also in Hawaii. I left all my knitting in Chicago, cause I didn't think I'd really have time (what with all the bodysurfing and hiking and cuddling with the dogs and all) but now that I've been here for three months I'm staring to wish that I'd at least brought beach knitting.

On the other hand, I've got tons of sketching done, read a lot of books, and I have a truly beautiful tan. I finished my grad school application, and my summer job application, and I'm seriously anticipating positive responses to both of those. Hopefully in the next two weeks.

So I go back to Chicago (ew) in about a week. I'm going to work on not wanting to cry all the time, once I leave my island home and return to the wasteland.

On the knitting side. I think I'm going to make the laceup glove things in my queue, and finish my Chad's Pullover, and go to Loopy and curl up on the couch.
