Things...

Just a few things to tell you about this evening:-

- I am participating in the Ravelympics this year.  I am in Team AMBAA (Ankh Morpork Bad Ass Artificers).  I am participating in the WIPS wrestling, with 3 WIPS to complete and a sock pattern to publish during the Olympics.

- College is going well, I am enjoying it.  Lots of things going on, which is hard for me to talk about on a public blog.  I would like to, but it's not really appropriate.  As it is a counselling course, I have to open up to my fellow students and perhaps reveal stuff that I wouldn't ordinarily, as do they.  Because of this, I wouldn't want to share information about them on the internet.  My real name is on this blog and it would be quite easy to find where I go to University and therefore it may be easy to work out who is whom, if you already know some of the students.  I will perhaps, write an entry about how the course is changing me at a later date.  Once I've finished the first year :P

- I was doing job hunting, at the same time, but was getting ridiculously stressed, along with the driving to and from work.  I don't get in until 8:30 ish some nights, so find it hard to search, then apply for jobs and do college work at the same time.  I have decided that I will wait for college to be done and then spend my summer applying for jobs.

- June's earworm playlist is here.  I am aware that there is a song that is on May's playlist too, but the song has been lodged firmly in my brain since late May.  I am finding that there are certain songs that are like that.  This month's song that appears to be on repeat is Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen.

- I have cast on a ten stitch blanket.  It started off looking a bit crap and now looks a lot better  I'm not convinced by the middle bit though.  We shall see.  I'm doing it in handspun yarn.  Yay!

- I have startitis.  I want to cast on all the things, but I have college work to do, so can't really.  I am planning on spinning the yarn to do a top down raglan, after knitting a Vortex in handspun yarn.  Pictures soon, I promise!  Plus I have the yarn to knit a lovely cabled jumper, plus more yarn to knit another jumper or cardi, so we shall see.  I want to learn to knit more garments like sweaters and cardi's and overcome the fear of measuring myself and calculating how much yarn I need and where to put increases / decreases.

- I am wide awake and it is nearly half past midnight, but I have to be up at 6:30 in order to get to work for 8am, so I really should go to my gwely (that's Welsh for bed!), so on that note, Nos Da (Good Night!).
