Santa Clara University Knitting Circle
A friend of mine from work and I are starting a knitting group at Santa Clara University. We are going to try and meet once a week at lunch. I’m thinking that this blog can be a place to post updates on this group. When I get an exact date and time that we will meet I will post it here.

CountAble
I found a really cool handy little knitting program for the Palm. It’s called CountAble. It is very cool.
What I have been doing (up until I found this little program) is making hatchmarks every time I finish a row. I have a separate hatch mark category for, say, increases. Well, this palm program does the same thing. There are different catagories for the variations of counting that goes into a project. And all in one handy little place, with no paper to speak of. And all on your cute little Palm.
Other ways that my palm has come in handy as far as knitting goes is that I use the camera to take photos of my projects. Sure, the quality isn’t as good as it is with my “real” digital cameral. But using my digital camera can be a pain. It totally sucks battery juice something terrible. And I am too lazy to try and scrounge around the house for batteries. Plus, uploading photos to my computer is a huge pain. With the palm, uploading happens when I hotsync. It is so easy and convenient.
So there is my plug for Palm. Now go out and get one! your life will be so much better!

Blue Cardi - still plugging away
An update on my current project. Over the weekend I finished the other front panel and I am now starting on the sleeve. I am really having a hard time finding time to knit. and that bums me out. I try to get some knitting in for a few minutes when I come home from work. I am finding that it really calms me down and centers me. It’s so relaxing. About two weeks ago I bought an ipod (love it!) and I listen to my audible book of the month as I knit.
I would post a picture but I keep forgetting to take one. I’ll try and take one tonight and post it. There’s really nothing exciting to see here, but oh well. It’s probably good to log my progress.

No time to knit lately!!!!
I am soooooo incredably bummed out! I have not had time to do any knitting lately. And I’m finding that I feel very stressed, too. I need a knitting fix! I did have some time over the weekend to really work on my cardigan. I am getting near finished with the front right side. Then it’s on to the arms. I can’t wait to finish it so I can start on something else. I’m too impatient. This is why I haven’t been able to learn to paint or play the guitar.
