One week, One sleeve

Not too much knitting this week, even though I had Columbus Day and Yom Kippur off from school, though it's not because I've done a ton of work either. I've been sick on and off, and when it's off, I still haven't felt like knitting. THIS week, however, is the end of the marking period, so I'm going to need to focus and finish up all of my work work (and put the knitting work on hold). So even less knitting happens this week.

I knew that it would only take me about an hour more to finish up the sleeve I started last week and have mostly been neglecting, so I put in Harold and Maude, and watched. And finished. Here it is.


My first sleeve

Other things I've been up to...

Eating dosas (from NY Dosas) in Washington Square Park


mmm dosas


Sharing a coconut in Tompkins Square Park


Reading The Onion at St. Mark's Church


Buying ingredients for salsa and nacho "cheese" at Commodities


Making and assembling vegan nachos! (tortilla chips, refried beans, salsa (made by me), nacho "cheese" (made by Aaron), and avocado on top -- yum!)

Also, I'm making good progress on my corduroy wrap skirt. Class was Thursday, and I'm almost done with sewing on the ties. I think the main things left are the finishing of seams and what not. Though I'm not exactly a natural at it, and I keep on having to rip out and start over (usually cause fabric I'm not supposed to sew gets sewn to the part I am sewing!), I really enjoy it. I'd like to get my own machine someday and get the time to really practice.
