First things first, there will be a full lunar eclipse tonight! I love this stuff. Matt and I have plans to go out at 9:30 to take a peak, and then again at 10:30 to see it during the full eclipse.

Next, I want to thank you all for your kind posts! Its so nice to hear from all of you! All of you who asked me questions - I answered most of them in comments on your blogs! Let me know if you missed them :) (Lauren, we should totally take Amie up on her offer!!!)

So, it has been a busy week! Busy for everyone else? I dont know what it is, it just seems like everything is going on now! Yesterday was a great day. I finally got my registration and title taken care of, so I have MD plates (yay!). Also, after class I decided to take a small trip to a LYS near campus. One of my teachers told me about it. I was a little scepticle to go, but then I checked out their website. Learn about The Yarn Basket Here. Their website looks a little outdated, but take a look at their selection! Oh - and their sale yarn!!!

(A side note before I post pictures - do any of you feel incredibly guilty after buying yarn? I felt this way yesterday after I left the store. All I could think about is all the projects I have planned and all the projects I'm working on, and how I shouldn't have bought the yarn. It was an aweful feeling. I felt like I was being selfish and spoiled buying it. I dont know where the feelings came from. I'm glad I bought it now. I know those feelings were rediculous because I knit EVERY day for an average of 2 hours a day I bet... some more some less. Anyway...)

Here is the progress on my scarf, and some stash enhancements...


Noro Kochoran - lushious!


Progress of my Irish Hiking Scarf


Rowan Cork - same stuff I'm making my dad and DH's sweaters out of. 12 balls at 1/2 price! Holy Sale! I couldn't resist. The color looks grey here, but it is actually a beautiful lilac color. There is a swatch here it is #32 - Chilly


When I was in the store, I picked up a Noro book - Noro Knits by Jane Ellison. I opened up to this page and KNEW I had to make it for my mom. I thought it would be perfect for her to carry some snacks and a good book on car trips, or when she and my dad go to car shows!


Noro Iro - 75% wool, 25% Silk - softer and lighter than their other wools. Its perfect for the bag!

And now, in closing - I will leave you with a photo of what we had for dinner. This is out of one of my vegetarian sandwich cook books. Basically it is a mixture of 3 bell peppers (i like using red, orange and yellow for the color and nutrients!), beans, garlic, onion cooked with a bit of oil. then add tomato, oregano, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. spread it on cheese and sprink the top with more cheese and top with another tortilla. I baked it for about 5 minutes and served with sour cream!


Mmmm Quesadillas for dinner! (and my cute little fishie spoon holder)

I hope you all have a great night. Enjoy the eclipse!

And if you get the chance, dont forget to wish Megan a happy 24th birthday (a day late!)!
