the beginning of the middle of the beginning

when i decided to take up knitting in december, i thought i was going to knit a few scarves, get bored and move on.  little did i know that knitting was going to take up me.

after making about 6 scarves, i created this bag-like thing that was a chameleon of sorts. some thought it was a good drink coozy, others thought a sock. still others thought a mitten! one said a throw-away. the next thing i created was the "pouache" (still working on the best spelling for the pronunciation, its a word i made up). 

for awhile as soon as i completed a bag or a hat i gave it away to the person nearest to me at the time, or the first person i saw.

now, however, i am going to see where these guys take me. next weekend i am going to take a few of my completed soul-babies to a few art galleries that will supposedly sell them. i am also building an account through etsy.com, and anybody can purchase from their computer there, thanks to paypal

atm i am sitting on the couch/aka my bed at rebecca fullers house, the beautiful, intelligent and kind girly who is letting me stay with her for awhile. she is also a knitter, and a reader, and a movie and television watcher, and i think she is beautiful and i think i am going to do fine here. its nice to knit with someone.

i am a little nervous lately, and high strung. im going through so many changes, its hard to remember to breathe sometimes. plus there is so much uncertainty in the outside world lately. what is going to happen? what will my role be in the next 4 years? i am going to be so different then, and also 24. 

thank god for knitting.
