Hello everyone!
It’s relaxing to be blogging right now after such a stressful week! Let me tell you, I’ve had the worst kind of personal drama, my first week at my internship, a horrendous mistake in budgeting, trying to cook, and school. I’ll skip over the personal drama and just mention that my internship is at a community mental health center, where I get to co-counsel people and help lead groups, etc. (it’s a very interesting place to intern, for sure). My budgeting mistake left me with $200 less than I thought I’d have this month, which means groceries are going to be hard to come by towards the end of the month. That definitely means no yarn this month, either. My cooking skills are slowly but surely improving, with the help of my chef boyfriend, which is good, and school is, well, school.
Amidst all of this stuff going on, I have had a little time to crochet. The Granny Ripple #1 is slowly coming along:
And again, while I’ve been crocheting, I’ve been listening to audiobooks. Nothing I haven’t mentioned before, either. The Dragonriders of Pern is just as good the… whichever go-round I’m on now. It’s definitely after third. Also, my boyfriend and I have been watching an anime called “One Piece,” which is a really long but really good TV series that we are marathon-ing online.
So that’s all my news for today. Hopefully I’ll have more granny stripe progress soon. Thanks for stopping by!
not your average crochet 
The afghan is looking good so far! Sounds like you need a jumbo box of cereal and a crate of ramen, you’ll get through. It won’t be fun, but you’ll make it. Check when the art receptions are happening, there’s often free food.

Haha that’s a great idea, I never thought of that, and I love art!

Food is a time honored way of luring people in the door. And don’t forget the soup kitchen if you need it, it is there for a reason. No sense letting pride get in the way, people donate so other people don’t go hungry.

You know, I never thought of a soup kitchen, and there’s actually one close by. I think I’d prefer that to asking my parents for money, for sure.

Crochet is looking good…. Time for a big bag of pasta to keep you going until there’s more money.

With the budgeting … don’t you just hate when that happens? Ah well … in the meantime, although you can’t purchase yarn this month, you can continue to use what you have. That granny striped is looking fabulous already.

And P.S … acrylic might not be our favourite yarn but isn’t it awesome in crunch times like these? 😀
