more snow?

Last week, it snowed a bit. So Andrew had a chance to make 2 snowmen around midnight. One of them fell down right away after we took the pictures, and both of them melt a lot the next morning. But at least we have made snowmen this year :)


I finally finished crocheting the rice cooker cover. Yes there is pink on the the bottom. Since I used the leftover yarn from my Kyoto sweater, I ran out of the blue and the white, so I had to use a little bit of pink to finish it. It whole thing was done by single crochet, very simple. But I have done so many tiny experiment to make up this pattern. Very proud of myself :-P It doesn't look so bad, does it?

For my Jaywalker socks, I haven't had a chance to touch it since last Thursday in SnB. But it's spring break next week, I am sure I will finish them next week, and maybe start another pair of socks. Well, only if Andrew finished making me the swift. :)

Help Needed

Tonight, I went back to Gateway to visit my Physics professor. I sent an email to him and asked for help on some Statics problems a week ago. He is a awesome teacher who made me understood lots of basic physic concept which has been very useful in my classes now. Now I am having physics problems, of course I go back to him :D He gave me some help on Statics and some solutions of my book. I am so glad and thankful for what he did to me. Since I am not a Gateway student any more, he didn't have to do more work for me. So it was very very generous of him.

I chatted with Becky couple days ago. she said she was going to cast on a pair of socks, and that made me want to knit a pair also. So, After I said goodbye to her, I casted on the Jaywalker Socks right away.

I have finished my Liesel Scarf. I have used 5 balls of Debbie Bliss Baby AIpaca Silk in Lavender and it's very very long :D I have blocked it and it looks much better now. I love it.

Finally, I have made some progress on crocheting the rice cooker cover. It's only made by single crochet, very simple, but hey, I am a beginner, and that is very difficult for me. (In the picture, there is my new Hello Kitty measuring tape)

Forgetful

I am so mad at myself. Last night, I went to SnB. I remembered to bring my girls some Intuitions, I remembered to bring Val some DVDs of 24. But I just only not remember to bring the scarf pattern to knit there. So, I had a bowl of soup and a glass of ice-tea there, and then headed home. Stupid me.

It's only the third week of this semester, but classes are already busy. Since I am in the new curriculum, I have to take a managment class. I guess it's good for my future, but I am not liking the class and that was why I didn't pick Business for my major. *sign. Why do I have to take this class? On the other hand, I am having lots of fun in the Chinese class. On Thursday, some Chinese students came to our class to teach us sing a Chinese New Year song and chinese dancing.

I recently have been teaching myself how to crochet. It's not easy, but I am trying. So far, I have a project in mind that I want to make. I want to make a cover for my rice cooker. So, I need to know how to crochet a circle. And these are the products of my experiments.

As for knitting, I haven't done much since I have been busy in school. After I posted the finished Kyoto sweater here, my best friend Renee has placed her order on that. I am so happy that she likes it, because I know she would tell me the truth if she thinks the sweater is pretty. I talked to her on phone last night. I miss her so much. We are truly the best friends since we tell each other everything, I mean everything. I loved shopping with her, we would be so honest to each other if I didn't like the top she picked out, I would tell her directly. Or she would tell me the skirt I tried on was horrible. And I love that, that's how a real friendship should be, to be honest to each other. I don't think we even had a fight since she always has been very understanding and thoughtful. Sometimes she cared me more than her boyfriend. There are so many good things about her, I miss her very very much, miss playing mahjong with her, miss shopping with her, miss laughing with/at her...
