Baby Steps


Made some progress on the list this weekend - new beer (Tiger beer from Singapore), new wine (Santa Barbara Landing Chardonnay), and new recipe (bean soup - OK, so I've made bean soup before, but this really was a new recipe to me).

I'm even more excited that I had a tutorial with my mom and NOW remember how to knit! So far, all I have are some garbled knit and purl stitches in scrap yarn but what's important is I can start practicing. Jackie K. lent me a great book - "Pints and Purls" - projects that are designed to go with you to the bar (see why I like this?). The projects are rated by how much you can drink while working on them (4 beers = really easy, 1 beer or Designated Driver = really difficult). There are some cute arm warmers that are rated easy, but I'll probably start with the wine charms (knit a little, put it on a wire - I think even I can manage that!).
