Busy, Busy, Busy
February 8th, 2010Well, so much for regular updates. Seems that college life has me busier than work life ever did, but, I guess that’s why I’m here.
Heikinpäivä was great fun! The weather was perfect for the parade, lots of people stopped by the fiber demonstration, I got to try all kinds of Finnish food, and I got to dance! Waltz, two-step, schottische, polka…I think I worked of all the food I ate that night. Here are a few pics:
This last weekend was Winter Carnival at Michigan Tech. I went to see the fireworks down by the canal on Saturday night, and Saturday day walked around and looked at the snow sculptures. Here are a few:
These were absolutely incredible! I believe the theme this year was “Games We Know Made in Snow.” The rest of the pictures I took can be found here.
Still not much happening on the knitting scene. I’m making slow progress on both the log cabin blanket and Mom’s socks. I’m also working on my latest design, which I’d really like to get done so I can start selling the pattern. I am working on a (sewn) kilt for class, and will also be making a vest, a jacket/vest, and possibly knitting some kilt hose, all for the fashion show on April 1.
We’ve received a few quarter-term grades, and I’m getting As in three of my classes, and I assume in the other two as well, although I haven’t actually seen any grades in them yet.
We are going on a field trip to Jacquart Fabric Products on Feb. 22nd, which should be a lot of fun. And I’m still looking for a part-time job.
Well, that’s about it for now. I’ll try to update a little more regularly and hopefully have a few finished things to show you next time.
Nähdään!
