Let's go!

So, I have planned 3 trips so far for this summer.  Now, granted, one is a training trip to NYC for my internship, but still...I can't complain about that.  A free week in NYC anyone?? :)  I am going home on Sunday for two weeks and I am so excited that I get to sit at home and be a bum rather than be here and have to deal with real life stuff.  I am going to see some of my college friends, and my little brother and sister.  Wahoo.  

So, I have been teaching myself to knit and so far I have made part of a sock, and almost a mitten.  Why do I pick things that go in pairs???  WHY?  

At first I taught myself left handed knitting (all on accident, I swear), but now I have taught myself to knit right handed.  It is fun, and the mitten has been much more rewarding because the yarn is thicker and so the project has gone much quicker.  

Here is a picture of my sock:

Ya, its not quite done yet.

Here are the mittens I am making:

I have two more craft projects up my sleeve : 1.  Paper crane earrings. 2.  Scrabble tile pendants.  I have the supplies, I just have to muster up some effort.  

And now I'm off to do something productive.  Let me know what you think of my projects.
