Yarn!

Hello all!

I'm excited to announce a new project! I'm going to be knitting socks. I've known how to knit since I was little, but I've become much more interested in it recently. When I was younger I would always knit way too fast and drop about 1/2 my stitches and then create new stitches (I can't tell you how).

There's an adorable knitting shop nearby that I've started to go to. They offer a deal on knitting lessons, and I got a gift card there for my birthday from my parents (yay!). I picked out this dark blue and soft burlap color for my first pair. I'm so excited :)

Wish me Luck!

Love,

Liv

Words... (but late!)

Goodness! So yesterday I was so caught up with exams and studying I completely forgot that it even was Wednesday. Big apologies, such a rookie mistake :(

But here it is! A day late. And better yet-two quotes :)

The first is from my main man, Einstein. It's such an important tactic to education: explain it simply. Sometimes thinking and doing things simply isn't a bad idea at all. I was at a lecture about omega-3 and omega-6, and the man presenting-while obviously very intelligent-really connected with the audience because he spoke so clearly. There's so much value in simplicity!

The second is not a quote, but really a bunch of words containing great advice. It's an article about knitting! It details some great health benefits and reasons it's a great hobby. Creativity is a beautiful thing.

 Hint, hint, it's a little preview to some upcoming posts!

Happy days!
