grey days and knitting

This scarf was made for me by Carmel (fiancee's dad's wife).... It inspired me to knit!

I went straight to the yarn store and got yarn for a scarf for my mom.

It was raining and grey yesterday. I spent the day knitting, watching movies, eating chocolate, and drinking coffee. The scarf is done.

My friend Amara came from Los Angeles to visit me in Brooklyn for my 23rd birthday. Rather than carry a cumbersome map, she made a map of the city into bookmarks with tiny dots making important places. The map below includes a dot marking my apartment. She left this behind and I have posted it on a door in every house I have lived in since.

I bought this yellow fabric to make a pillow cover. I never did, but I have cut it into napkins for our wedding. I scanned the fabric and printed it on paper. The pictures of grass and the dog are from National Geographic from the 1970s.
