Thursday, 23 September 04 :: what i want!

i've been knitting up a storm over the last few weeks. i've found someone who is an avid knitter and who has friends who are avid knitters who are willing to teach me to be a better knitter, teach me how to knit something besides a plain ol' scarf.

anyhow. i've managed to knit a cable (?) scarf for my sister in law, and i'm working on a little one for my nephew, exactly like hers.. and then i'll make one for brother. i've also knitted a triangular shawl that i gave to my friend p. this week is kinda crazy, and right now i'm putting off doing work that i should be.. so i've not done any knitting since tuesday.

i'm jazzed, though. i love knitting! love it, and i love it even more that there are women around that will teach me how to knit more and more and more! maybe a sweater by spring? dare i hope. one woman even said she'd teach me how to spin my own yarn!

anyhow.. its christmas season. i've figured out what i want for christmas..

i want this, a set of interchangeable needles in various sizes. oh so nice! i'll teach mom how to be a better knitter, esp. if i get this and can give her the bits and pieces of needles i've got now.

hahahahahaha

okay. off to work.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
