The photo is taken on the roof of my building at work, by one of co-workers, who is a fantastic photographer.

KIP!

I’ve been plugging along on Orangina, but no pictures because my camera ran out of batteries and I haven’t gotten more yet.

In more exciting news–June 9th is Worldwide Knit in Public Day! So everyone get your knitting out!

I hear there’s a Knit-Out in Berkeley, so I might head over and see if I can meet some new knit buddies.

Oh–and I got the color I’m using for Orangina. It’s Knitpicks Shine Sport in crocus. It’s gorgeous.

Knitting! For Real!

Guess what this is a picture of:


What, you didn’t think I was going to tell you that quickly, did you?

I’m finally over the sleep deprivation caused by flying back East for a weekend to go to my graduation.

My school isn’t officially one of the schools at the University, but we like to pretend we are, so some awesome Professors made us a sign.


If you can’t read it, it says “SMPA Grads Rock” because, of course, the School of Media and Public Affairs is totally awesome like that.


I actually managed to find Mary and Gina in the crowd–don’t we look thrilled to be graduating?

I also got to hang out with Mary and Elizabeth some more. Yay! There was much alcohol, and I’m sure people on the plane thought I was very strange, as I was drinking tons of coffee and eating advil like candy, while mumbling about tequila sunrises and redheaded sluts.

The drink, people, the drink.

But I did get some knitting done in the hotel (since my parents picked a hotel in the middle of NOWHERE (aka Centreville) which meant I barely got to see my friends) and I’ve completed this:


Still lost? It’s the back of Orangina. I’m knitting it in Knitpicks Shine Sport in a color I don’t remember at the moment. I’ve altered it of course, making it longer and smaller. I’m afraid I’ve made it too small–it stretches, but maybe I should get off my butt and start going to the gym.
