I was, just in my head. :P<br /><br />The shawl is beautiful, did you make the smaller version for sanity's sake, or yarn restrictions? <br /><br />The baby squirrel makes my heart go squee! He looks FAR too big to be that obviously young. I hereby dub him "Squirrelzilla".Rows Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745831593622242331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-577210556432625675.post-88051454806551875482010-08-10T14:05:53.597-05:002010-08-10T14:05:53.597-05:00And how on earth could I forget to tell you how go...And how on earth could I forget to tell you how gorgeous that shawl looks, even unblocked??

It is very impressive.<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear that you are having a stressful time but hopefully it is all for the best. I hope that the move goes smoothly and that things can be worked out reasonably with the landlord. I'm sure you'll love apartment living! Are you going to be living on your own or do you have some roommates? That could make all the difference.<br /><br />Perhaps someday while you are there for grad school I can come for a visit...<br /><br />The baby squirrel is adorable!!! So glad to hear that you rescued it and returned it to its mother.<br /><br />Good luck!knitwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00534431344001490952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-577210556432625675.post-72385958525492374392010-08-09T07:39:27.231-05:002010-08-09T07:39:27.231-05:00Beautiful sunrise and gorgeous shawl!!

I was so glad you documented it in such detail!<br /><br />Try not to be too stressed about your first apartment, rent, auditions and all that. Just get back to practicing, and everything will fall into place.<br /><br />Did you ever say where you are going to grad school? I don't recall. However, I'm sure you will know plenty of people soon enough. By the end of your first month you will no longer worry about not knowing anyone, and be irritated that your responsibilities are hindering your social life.<br /><br />Oh, I am rambling. Love the shawl!

Glad you got some beautiful and restorative sunrises. Gotta say, THAT is some butt uguly baby critter... demon claws of doom and all... I would stick to your guns about the Aug 1 date, especially if you have documented correspondence. Or get him to reduce your security deposit by that amount. Or pay that amount in fuel or something.

I know what it is to say that we can't see what you see in your pictures. I also remember the disorientation upon my arrival home. We have a knit night at paneras in canonsburg- should you find yourself in need of knitterly grounding, we are a nice group. (though likely grad music school will offer little time for such things). My email is blts at windstream dot net.

I've never seen a baby squirrel before!<br /><br />Moving to an apartment? Good luck! I do understand where the stress is coming from.<br /><br />And clarinet? I never knew how to spell embouchure before. I was never curious enough to look it up (I used to be a singer, so I know a bit about instrumentalists' terminology) and thought it started with an "a" or an "o" so it's a good thing I never tried!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
