The socks are done. I'm going to Ohio in August. I finished a bathmat.
The socks are rather big one me (but I love them), and used up all of a skein plus a little more (boo!). Now I have extra sock yarn I won't want to use for at least another month. I had a smallish case of startitis after I finished the socks. I tried to start a cardigan (I'm still trying, actually), and then moved on to the bathmat. It is called Absorba, The Great Bathmat. I love it for many reasons: It is made from three strands of cotton, more than I've ever tried before; It is made from three/four colors: peach, yellow, and blue/white, and I got to play with all of the combinations possible from the three; it's cushy and soft, and dense, and just wonderful!
Ohio. I'm going to live there in the fall. This doesn't scare me nearly as much as I think it should. I will be living the farthest away from my family I ever have, going to graduate school, doing more-or-less adult things. Honestly? I'm rather excited. Lots of stuff to think about. Where am I going to live? Do I need new doctors? Where will I get car insurance? Details of living. I don't know the answers to the questions...yet. I'm working on it. Sometimes, I'm absolutely amazed I made it this far. I've said before that getting through applications and auditions was torturous, and I still think so. Maybe it will be better when I go for my doctorate.
Gotta go,
