I'm Back (well sort of)

We've successfully made it to the West Coast. Sadly the internet where I'm staying is dial up (very slow dial up) so I'm currently at the library and ready to tell you about my latest advanture...IKEA portland.

Some of you know that Joe and I camped in front of IKEA for the grand opening in Stoughton, MA when I was in a wheelchair two weeks after having surgery on both feet. When we got here, we found out that IKEA was opening in Portland and decided that we might as well hang out there since we could bring our laptop and conduct our job hunt from there instead my dad's house and get free stuff for doing so.

And as much as that's fun and all...the thing I think is really funny is that I've been on the news...a lot (look for a girl in the purple bandanna).

If you go here, you can see me sitting on our air mattress working on a pattern I'm hoping to submit to Knitty.

If you go here and click on the "video" link under the picture, you can see me working on a pair of anklet socks with the yarn I picked up at WEBS when we went to see the yarn harlot.

You can also see us here and here (again, look for girl in purple bandanna or a large air mattress).

  4. LOL! My coworkers pointed you out on the news (we're down in Eugene) saying, "Look! She's knitting too!" Whatever your pattern-in-progress is, I love the soft yellow color!
