It’s starting to look like winter!
This is, honestly, my favourite kind of weather – there’s something about getting all dressed up in warm, fuzzy clothing and being able to think to myself, ha ha, weather, I win that’s satisfying in a way I can’t quite articulate.
It’s also a reasonable excuse to take some time inside, to organize my life (my apartment needed cleaning in the worst way), and make things. For instance, I got a chance to play with my new Christmas present, finally. I got a sewing machine, which is something I’ve been thinking about for a long, long while, and I managed to turn this
Into this:
It definitely took me an embarrassing amount of time, and I’m sure in a few months my inability to cut or sew a straight line will seem painfully obvious, but whatever. The thrill of look, guys, I made this! has yet to wear off, so far.

Today is December 12.
I am currently knitting, but only gifts – and while I’m like 99% sure that the recipients don’t read this blog, it would be a shame if I was wrong and they did. So, I’m going to have to wait until this date to post about everything I’ve made.
I think, though, that after this date, I’ll have a little more time on my hands.
That’s when school break starts, and I go home for Christmas. In the meantime, I’ll be curling up with my notes, and maybe some of this.
(This post is brought to you by the fact that my mother still sends me an advent calendar every December, even though I’m twenty-three. It’s totally cool to be jealous.)

(this looks cooler bigger)
As you may have noticed, I took a bit of a break from blogging – I went to visit family for a bit, didn’t bring my regular computer with me, and keeping up with the blog while I was gone just didn’t seem worth it.
I’m back, though, and I did get some knitting done while I was gone. In the meantime, enjoy these photos – I took them during the Celebration of Light in Vancouver, during my trip.
