  • settling in

    I’ve been in my new apartment for a little over a week, and it’s starting to come together – I do have more trips to Ikea in my future though!

    Amidst all the packing, moving, unpacking and setting up, I have been knitting:

    Tanis Fiber Arts green label in Midnight – aran weight works up soooo fast!

    koigu

    A sweater in Koigu – the opposite of fast, but it is beautiful.

    I haven’t been taking tons of photos, but I’m trying to get back into the habit. Here are some more glimpses of what I’ve been up to the past few weeks.

    office - before

    ugh, disorganized

    Oy, so disorganized! I’m happy to have such a nice full sized bedroom for my new office, though. It even has a closet!

  • back at the hook

    Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes! I had a pretty good birthday, with lots of presents to myself.

    New workstation! Still working on getting it set up – restoring from Time Machine is being a bit finicky. Might have to do a computer-to-computer transfer instead.

    plastic still on

    A free-to-me piano! Needs work, but it really belongs to one of the guys that lives upstairs from me. Just somewhere to keep it until he has somewhere else to put it – in the meanwhile, once the innards come back from the piano repairman, I’ll be playing it all. the. time.

    after!

    And this week, I’ve been crocheting. I’d kind of forgotten that crochet really is awesome.

  • saturday morning coffee

    coffee

    I really can’t handle the caffeine from coffee or tea (boooooo) so I’ve just not been drinking them. Then I realized that do have some nice decaf beans! Hurrah! Made some strong espresso in the mokapot and having it in my favourite mug from Anthropologie.

    Starting a new swatch, too – Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock in Douglas Fir.
