Big News!

After a summer of working at a law office full time and not knitting nearly enough, I have FINALLY gotten my Etsy shop, Niki's Knerdy Knitting, up and running!  I'm uploading pictures to my computer as I type this and will be adding bunches of new items to the shop throughout the evening, please check it out!  In other news, I'm leaving for vacation to Hawaii (YAY) on friday, lets keep our fingers crossed that the ever inconsistent TSA doesn't take my knitting needles away at security and I can get lots of knitting done on that 12 hour flight.

eek...a blog!

Okay so...now I have a blog.  Scary.  I fail at Twitter and I never quite caught on to the LiveJournal/Xanga craze in high school...but the internet seems to think its a good idea to use a blog when you are trying to have a successful Etsy shop so here I am.

Today I skipped an entire day of classes to catch up on housework.  Now that I've missed three classes and all the expired food is gone from my fridge, I feel much more on top of things.  I'm a special snowflake :)

Progress so far

But I'm supposed to talk about knitting right? I have SOO many projects in mind right now...and I've already purchased yarn for most of them.  You should see my closet right now, I have 3 file boxes and a ton of shopping bags just full of yarn, god forbid one of my cats gets in there.  One of these days I'll take it all out and take a picture of it, its pretty intimidating (yes, yarn can be intimidating, stop judging me). Anyways, right now I'm working on this really awesome afghan my friend James asked for.  I'm crocheting a ton of granny squares and putting them together to make a pixelated Link.  See that graph? Thats 285 squares.   Crocheting them is quick and easy but sewing them all together just might kill me.  Nevertheless, I think the afghan is going to turn out fabulously.
