Should I give it up?

This yarn, this scarf, I liked them very much when I first started. However, after I saw the colorway changed so suddenly, I have had a second thought. It looks so weird... just doesn't look right. So, I think I am giving it up, the scarf, the yarn...


More B&W pictures from my FM2, please click and enlarge them to see the cool effects...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Andrew told me to one of my favorite restaurants in North Haven, Red Lobster! I really appreciated that he put in some effort to found another route to go there, made me think he was lost or something... Then we went to watch By Bloody Valentine. It was totally my kind of movie, very bloody, however, I was a bit disappointed that it was not so scary. Thanks for the great day honey!

I made Chicken Lasagna and Bake Onions tonight. I finally found a recipe that doesn't need ricotta cheese, and some other cheeses that Andrew doesn't eat. It's pretty good, I like it a lot (which pasta I don't like?)


I saw this pretty view while I was leaving work last Friday, so I took a picture to share with you...


Last picture was taken by Andrew. He took a picture of my taking pictures for the photography assignment :D

Camera Mittens

They are finally done. I used Noro Kochoran for them and totally love how the yarn feels on my skin, very soft. I also love the color way of it. Also I have frogged so many time while knitting the thumbs, I still think they are too long... I worn the mittens to shoot some pictures tonight, and they worked really well!


Super Bowl sale... I know, it's a bit late to blog about it, but hey, who doesn't want to see more yarn, right? The 2 balls of fixation in the pictures were what I got from a yarn swap at Peaceful Knitter's superbowl party. It was an awesome day, and I laughed and ate alot!!!


After I got home, Andrew and I watched a bit of superbowl. We knew that there was some 3-D thingy right before the half time show, so we were ready...


I have been taking pictures with my dad's "old school" camera, trying to get to use it for the photography class. I am very very super excited that I will get to use the dark room late on, however, I need to overcome my fear of total darkness... good luck to me!!!

Snow AGAIN?!

I am so afraid to drive in snow. So, DH and I drove in to work together this morning. I don't think I can drive in this condition...


I am taking a photography class this semester at Gateway Community College. It's a black and white film class. I am going to spend half of my class time in the dark room to develop my own photographs, pretty cool huh? I am very excited! I knew I was going to take this class, so last time when I visited my parents, I took my dad's toys back with me to CT to use it in the class.


And now it's my toy! And I used this to take couple pictures and then took the films to Walgreens to develop, an hour later, I got the REAL paper kind pictures plus a CD with all the pictures in it...


As for knitting, I casted on a new project Camera Mittens. I was having problem casting on the thumb, that's why it's taking me so long to get to this point...

Hanami Fest

I finished it!!! I can't believe I finished it before school start.




I also have been cooking A LOT lately.

Onions Baked with Rosemary and Cream. It's awesome, 5 out of 5 stars!!!


Pork Chops with Sour Cream and Mushroom Sauce. Andrew likes it, so 4 stars.


Grilled Vension Backstrap. I don't like venison much, so I give it 3 stars.


Cola wings. Instead of cooking in oven, I cooked it with the stove. I browned the wings first on a pan, then put the cola sauce in, and added more coke to cover all the wings, brought it to boil and turn the heat down, and simmered for an hour. Pretty good, 4 stars.


Baked Pork Chops. I used chicken stock instead of white wine . It's a must-cook. 5 stars!!!


Baked chicken wings. I marinated the wings overnight, dipped them into eggs and coated them with bread crumbs. Then put them in the oven at 375 degree for an hour. 4 stars.


Mocha Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins. I have made 16 muffins from this recipes. Pretty good. 4 stars!!!


I was very excited this Wednesday, because LOST is back!!! This was how Andrew and I welcome it back... Yes I know, very dorky... These are our Wednesday nights outfit now!
