I cast on a pair of Cable Footies from One Skein last Wednesday. I finished the first Saturday

and cast on the second yesterday and I am nearing the finish line. My second pair of socks has been fun– worsted weight makes the project go by so quickly!! These socks are for my boyfriend, Hunter,’s mother, who enjoys hating me. Bribery works sometimes, doesn’t it??

At Urban Outfitters, I bought Sew U and I CAN’T WAIT to learn how to sew. A little while ago, I played around with my mom’s old machine and stitched some muslin, just to get the feel of the machine. I have a long way to go before I achieve anything wearable, but I’m still very excited.

College decisions have been nearly finalized and if I go to the nicer, more expensive school that I love, I will be making many sacrifices in the name of frugality. I’m hoping very much that I can take handmade objects to the next level. Wish me luck!
