So, I'm in Italy. Observing Italians. And putting interesting things on this other blog, which you should check out.

Costco muffins are the most delicious. |
Big night.
Two bags are packed.
Twelve new Micron pens, an entire GAP gift card's worth of leggings, and several weeks' worth of underwear have brought me up to right now.
Tonight is the last night I'll spend with my bed until May, and neither one of us is happy about it.
It's also the last night I'll spend with my dog, and I, at least, am not happy about that.
Hopefully, my new roommate doesn't smell or bring home strange Italian men.
Hopefully, she's okay with my book light that's so bright it could double as a lighthouse.
Hopefully security won't take my Costco muffin away from me tomorrow.
Hopefully.

My knitting adventures continue...
Today I finished My First Hat! That's the official title, as I fear the laughter I may be subjected to if I let anyone think otherwise. It's not that it's a bad hat, really. It's got attitude. I'll let you decide just what kind of attitude.
Technically speaking, I followed a pattern.
The fact that the hat does not, in fact, look anything like any of the pictures that came with the pattern, nor the pictures posted by others who have successfully created this hat in the past, is a truth whose origins escape me. But! I won't let that bother me. I think My First Hat is rather pretty, albeit too large for my head and rather full of mysterious holes. I like how round it is - if the beehive ever makes a comeback, this hat will fit perfectly over mine.

Officially, I now have no friends. All of them have set off for Europe and left me alone to do silly things like start a blog. Fortunately, I'm leaving in two weeks to join them. Since Florence was the only place that offered anything cool, I'm headed there to take classes in MARBLE AND STONE SCULPTURE (sick!), and then when I come back, everyone will have to call me Michelangelo.

So I finally finished my first knitting project - gloves for my mum!
Gave them to her the other day, only a few weeks later than Christmas...
They're a little big, but now I know how to make thumbs!

Whooo! I got this cool tablet thing for Christmas. Tried it out with some gesture drawings, looks like I need some practice...
