Update!

My goodness! An update! It has been a while since the last one, I know. Apparently I don't get an urge to update very often, but I'm trying to improve, I swear!

Well, life in general has changed a great deal since the last update. I am no longer in MUSRA, since I am no longer an Undergraduate. Yes, indeed, I'm ready to graduate in April! I am, however, still a student. I will be starting a Graduate Diploma in Education TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) at UTS in March. I am really looking forward to that, although it will require more time in transport.

As well as that, I've also decided that it is time I learned how to sew clothes. I've enrolled in a Learn to Sew class, 2hrs a week for 10 weeks, and that starts on the 7th of February. I'm looking forward to it, but it carries with it a risk - I fear I may build up a fabric stash to rival my yarn stash. This is a worry indeed. I don't only want to learn to sew, but also figure out how to make clothes to actually fit me. I could probably manage to hem slacks for myself at the moment, but anything else is a bit beyond my skills just now.

My shawl-that-swallowed-Sydney is getting closer to being finished, thank the otherworldly beings. The border is a bit over 1/2 done, and I'm looking forward to getting it done. I haven't taken a photo of it recently, but it is getting a bit hefty. I will be asking very kind friends of mine to come over for a blocking party, I think.

I'm also considering having two shawls for next years Show. I'm thinking a white one for the knitted lace animal fibre, and a black one with silver beads for the beaded knitting.

Wish me luck!
