What a week! Last week was even crazier than I was expecting with the combination of Vogue Knitting Live, touring Brooklyn and my first grad school interview. And now after a nice lazy weekend it seems so far away, but let’s recap.
Vogue Knitting Live was amazing! I really only spent my Saturday there, but I sure packed it in. I had a lecture in the morning, a class in the afternoon, and the incredibly huge marketplace in between. Unfortunately I was way too busy soaking it all in to take pictures at the marketplace (except for a few yarn tags to remind me what I liked and couldn’t buy)
Ridiculously soft camel/silk blend. This goes in my very special occasion wish list.
I came home with just a bit of yarn… (Some of that’s from the Brooklyn General Store, I’m officially in their database!)
My interview went pretty well I think, although I’m impatiently waiting to hear back from them. It was surprisingly nice to talk to the other students interviewing. Although I think the best part about interviewing NYC schools is that they take us out to a Broadway show! We went to see the show Seminar with Alan Rickman and it was just amazing. It was about four aspiring fiction writers taking a seminar from an jaded writer/copy-editor (Alan Rickman), and I swear that by the end of the show the girl next to me and I wanted to switch careers from biology to writing!
All of the travel I did this week meant that the first January sock is finished, and I have a new hat.
Shamefully not warm enough for the current DC weather.
Happy Knitting!
