Back Downtown Junior Yr

You forget how beautiful the city is, but not really. I've missed my little room in the city on my own. It's really home. I'm now going into my junior year at Point Park and that means that for 2 years I've lived 9 out of the 12 months in one year, so 18 out of 24 months downtown. I'm truly a city girl. It's what drew me into my school anyway (my home).

I'm not good at writing (or spelling for that matter; thank god for the red squiggles that tell me I'm wrong on this), but I like to just write what I'm feeling at the moment. I'm in love with the city living and my friends down here at the same time. Not all of them are down here but I love being able to share this with them when they visit me. It's the best feeling the city living, I can't say how many times I love it. The sides are probably endless but this city is gorgeous. $0.25 for 5 minutes in a meter ($3.00 for an hour- 8am to 10pm they watch the meters now. $42 for the whole day or suck it up and pay that $30 ticket). Everything at your fingertips, the coffee shops, the food, the places to just relax and the architecture.

I love Pittsburgh.

Now I'll show you some knitting that you've been waiting to see.

This baby blanket was a great summer project. The yarn was exquisite, the pattern was simple and easy to remember (I hate carrying around a pattern book and papers, even though I know I need to at times).



This lovely baby girl came EARLY! I so could've finished in time, but she totally wanted to come out a week early.



I got a bunch of yarn from Bloomin's when I just couldn't stop going and knitting. It's definitely the best store out there. I've been to others now so I can say this. There's no other shop that gives the same vibe and openness.

I finished my first sweater. I need to blog this. The picture is going to be bad. I want to be in it when I show it off. I can't WAIT for the day that someone asks me where I got it and I can say "I made it". I just can't wait!



Now still in training so I'll be back to update later.
