okay,got to row 7 of charting my lace pattern.then my friend called and invited me for coffee. which turned into a mini-cafe marathon followed by movie and now i won't have time to finish it until saturday.

ravelry! it's eating my brain! and making me late for things!
in the meantime, i was going to knit myself a kitty but those needles are in.....The Suitcase and thus this will have to wait because i like to limit moving the suitcase on account of it being giant and heavy and used as a table and thus covered in things.
so i'm working on inventing a lace pattern which is not something i've ever done. i'm practicing on bigger needles with bigger yarn because what i'm going to use when i've made up the actual pattern is teeeeeeeny tiny.
it hasn't worked so far but i think i've figured it out via an epiphany on a bus.

vacation! yes, i had one!

went to olomouc and brno in the czech republic. brno is where i will likely be living for a semester next year. it only has one hostel that's very grim and only open 2 months a year but otherwise is lovely and full of chinese food and surrounded by forests. it's quite quiet but has excellent travel options so i think it will be nice. it also has a branch of my most very favourite yarn store ever, MarLen so i hiked all the way up to the end of town and bought more cotton!


and today my friend and i went on a daytrip to bielsko-biala which was also very nice.
in the end i got into my new room after i got back from brno. it's basically the same as my old room but in much better condition.
and i grudgingly bought a plane ticket back to glasgow. and mailed my second box of yarn to my parents.hopefully it will get there before i leave toronto.
