Happy New Year

[doronjosama]

Last night, we had a lovely time, with noodles (for good fortune) at Pho Cong Ly and then much hanging out with friends. I received a late Xmas present of a Hello Kitty juicer, which I am both delighted and scared by. My kitchen skills are weak... ^_^;

Today, I have learned how to purl. I have almost conquered the stockinette stitch. Is the knitted chunk supposed to curl up or am I doing something horribly wrong? Because it gets all curly at the bottom...

Today I am also working on Genus: Male #5.

Also, I cannot stop eating Best Maid baby dill pickles. They're just too good!

Here's hoping 2006 is better than 2005.

Well, I was going reassure you about the curling thing, but she beat me to it. To avoid curling, knit the first 4 to 6 rows in garter stitch, and knit the first and last 6 to 8 stitches on all rows.
A Hello Kitty juicer. Eeep. I may have to make my hubby get me one. Heh.

Hooray! I was afraid I was screwing up somehow. It took me hours to learn the stitch, so when it started curling up, I was afraid I had somehow learned it a goofy way, or something. ^_^

It takes a little getting used to, but I am getting it. I can still knit way faster than I can purl....
