I started a new knitting project yesterday! I’m making a pair of legwarmers that button up the sides. Hopefully they will resemble spats when I’m done with them. I’m modifying a lovely pattern I found on Ravelry to fit my legs.

I also hope my wool holds out for two of these. I got two skeins as a gift several years ago and never made anything with them, so this seemed as good a time as any! I’m hoping it works out to 1 leg warmer = 1 skein.

Oh e.l.f. You KNOW I can’t resist you when your holiday gift sets go on clearance.

So my family went to serve lunch at the homeless shelter today, and I burned my thumb pretty badly early on in the cooking stage. (The oven mitt I grabbed had a GIANT HOLE in the thumb that I discovered trying to move the griddle.) All we had to cool it was a couple bottles of chilled Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash, which has dyed my thumb a lovely shade of red.

I have a red thumb.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

UGGGH this was so me in college. Just replace “midterm project” with “art history paper." Doing projects for my art classes was no big deal, but those GECs brought out the domestic goddess in me like no other.

Wore this out to dinner on Thursday night for my 5th anniversary with my boyfriend, Chris. We went to a Southern Indian restaurant for their dinner buffet, which was really interesting! The meal started out with 6 courses of little appetizers that were 2-3 bites each, and then there were various curries and other things at the self-serve part. Along with bottomless mango lassi. I almost needed a cigarette after that meal, for reals.
