Random news!
Ok, I know that it's awful for me to laugh at something as serious as blindness. I'm not laughing at the actual blindness itself, but there's just something very cliche about Viagra making you go blind. Think on it, people. I can't talk about it with a straight face. :)
In other news that makes me smile, I was able to go to yoga twice this week! Yes, I know I never talk about yoga on a blog that was originally supposed to talk about yoga as much as knitting. My school schedule conflicted with yoga, so now that school is inbetween semesters, I've been able to go. Unfortunately, school starts again Wednesday, but I still hope to at least squeeze one class a week. I'll have to keep going at my gym though. The real yoga school that I want to attend does conflict with school, so I'll just have to wait on it at least until the summer semester ends. C'est la vie.
Now for the yarn yoga part of the blog. My cabled vest is a smidget over 10" now! Just 3 more inches until the arm hole shaping. It has been a slow knit for me, because of getting sidetracked with other projects (shrug, chinese bag). School will only slow it down more, but it's a really fun knit and I don't care how long it takes me to finish, so long as i get to keep working on it. I'll try to post a pic tomorrow.
I've submitted to join the K1R2, also known as knit one read too. The next book, Never Let Me Go, looks awesome. Hint: I wouldn't read much into the amazon reviews, they spoil the suprise of the story! :( I am really antsy to read this book, so I may have to order it this weekend. And if i'm ordering that, I may as well order something else to get free shipping.. Ah, I just love the way the business world works. So many incentives to spend.
Speaking of spending, I also have some teaching books to buy. I'm going to teach children to knit at my LYS! I am really looking forward to working with the kids and teaching them something that they just might cherish for a lifetime. Ok, maybe I'm overdoing it here, but I love kids and I love knitting, so what's not to like? Not to mention getting paid for it and a discount on all my favorite yarns! :)
**Raoks were sent out yesterday afternoon, so if you know who you are, please check your mailboxes next week! I'd hate for your goodies to be ruined! Please let me know if everything gets there in good order. I'm holding off on shipping to the international peeps until I know that everything arrived safely stateside.

The Viagra thing is pretty funny, in a sad-weird way. I suppose men have to decide if they want to see their partner or if they want to boink their partner, but not both. :P
Teaching kids to knit should be really fun. I'll have a new teaching partner next year (and a new grade), who is learning to knit, and we were talking about how fun it would be to teach our students to knit. It's all about math, right? Geometry, etc.
Have a great, long weekend!
