Friday, we had a relatively quiet day. I was suppose to unpack and organize my room; however, I decided to go to the yarn store which turned into going to four yarn stores. I've been wanting to start knitting again for months, but obviously, I've been a little busy getting ready for the Step. I thought that it would be a quick trip to buy yarn, but we were out for four hours because we went to so many different stores. I just couldn't find the right yarn so we kept going to different shops. I ended up finding some beautiful yarn that is perfect for the blanket that I'm making at Sew EZ Too . Sew EZ Too is one of those shops for serious knitters/quilters/arts people. I wouldn't describe myself as a serious knitter and I think they quickly figured out that out too--they offered me knitting classes if I got into trouble with my project. The blanket that I'm making is a knitted version of a log cabin quilt. I made a baby blanket in a similar pattern about three years ago, so I think I can handle this giant queen sized blanket. I started knitting and the tension in my shoulders has melted away. Knitting is such a great way to release tension; in fact, believe it or not, I taught myself to knit the summer I studied for my MCAT (entrance exam for medical school). I am not an amazing knitter but knitting is like riding a bike...you just don't forget.
Saturday, I finally got down to business and cleaned my room and unpacked my bags. I managed to fill two bags worth of clothes that I rarely ware anymore. I'm notoriously bad about holding onto clothes that in case one day I might want to wear them again. Sunday, Mom and I made a second Thanksgiving so that we could have left overs. There is nothing like a home made turkey meal and having two in one week was amazing.
