I knew I'd forget something...
Ah, home for one week. So lovely. I have a 1 week break inbetween spring and summer semester. But at least there's some sort of break. I'm already in a fantastic mood. Just as I was leaving school, I already knew I'd passed 6/7 of my classes this semester, and so just one more score in and I'm DONE with second year! I start clinic in about one week. I GET TO SEE PATIENTS!! Things are finally seeming to feel accessible. As if I can finally feel like the schoolwork is worth all the time and stress that it's caused. But until next week...
I did bring some awesome knitting to do while home, as well as some spinning... but what I forgot to bring was my sketch of my bubble bobble characters. *sigh* I'll have to get that pattern finished up when I get back. I'm also trying to catch up with friends and just relax in general. My mommy got me the cutest pouch from an etsy seller. (I'll try to get a pic up soon...) She also got me those neat square needles (double points) in sizes US 0, 1, 2, and 3. I am sooo excited!! I love knitting socks, and these are supposed to be easier on the hands. Means longer capabilities of knitting without straining my hands. (yes, I do knit so much that my hands hurt, for you non-knitters out there...)
I've found that I desperately want a spinning wheel, but the possibilities are ENDLESS for types. And it's not just like a spindle where I just choose pretty ones and it'll be fine. Spindles cost... oh... $12 on up to maybe the $100 range. My most expensive one was $45 or something like that. And yes, there are definitely better spindles than others. However, dropping even $100 on a spindle is not as big a deal as spending $680 on a spinning wheel and finding out you don't like it as much as you thought you would. Or, you really prefer a double treadle vs a single. I'm thinking about what I can do to test these things out. I've heard that you should just go test drive, I suppose it's what I should do. Maybe I could hit up A Verb for Keeping Warm and talk to Kristine about it. I'm not ready to buy one, and I think I'm going to keep comparing, but I found one that will be lovely if I like the way it feels. :o) Ah well, I can keep on wishing can't I? I'll attempt pics next time...
