....school colors
This colorway is similar to the colors of the university where I work and take classes. I thought it would be lovely to knit a scarf or hat out of the Bloody Mouse BFL that I purchased via mail order from Susan's Fiber Shop in Wisconsin. It's always fun to receive mail from a 'far-off' land.

....a beautiful mess
To not keep everyone wondering what I have been up to...I must say I have been a bit busy. In September of last year I took a full time job. Part of the benefits of the job is free tuition for employees. I work in higher education. I thought it wise to take the opportunity that was presented, to further my education. So, now I work 40 hours a week and am taking online classes for a degree in accounting. While I have an associates degree, it isn't necessarily in accounting. A long time work experience in bookkeeping helped me get this job. My credits didn't transfer for the associates, so I am now getting a bona fide associates degree. My first class started on 6.25. Just the first week was quite an eye opener. My it's been a long time since I really really used my noggin. Learning the ropes of an online education was and will be quite an experience. I still knit and I still spin, just not as freely and as often as I used to. I think once I get the school/work/family schedule squared away everything should work out nicely. In the meantime...I shall include my latest happiness. M's Northman Mittens~to be finished before cold weather!
Misti Alpaca~Chunky
I will need a One Skein idea for this. It is super soft. It's 108 yards of chunky. Got any ideas?
