I love Vanna's Choice

I really love Vanna's Choice yarn. I just love seeing it in the yarn store all lined up. The colors are so nice and I love the soft little bundles. I started a VC Fan Club group on Ravelry. lol. It was on sale at AC Moore today so I bought 12 skeins for an afghan I'm thinking about. I got aqua, sapphire, terracotta, and rust. I wanted to do a blue/orange combo. I think I am going to do hexagons, with circles and spirals in the hexagons. Something to think about while I'm working on other projects.'

I am working now on Cathedral Rose Window Afghan. Wow, big project. I think I am making headway and realize I am only finished with ONE skein of black Red Heart SuperSaver and the pattern calls for SIX so I am about one sixth through only! Alot of work, and it is not really fun crocheting. Changing colors multiple times per row is fiddly and not my style. I like SPEED crocheting. Heh. Hopefully the finished product will be worth it. I am doing it in rainbow solids rather than the variegated called for in the pattern. Remains to be seen whether my idea will pan out successfully.

Other than that I am knitting a tank in Lion Brand Incredible for one of my nieces. Knitting just seems to slow to me these days but I go through phases. I have a few other WIPs but nothing major (which means nothing I really want to do.) I just finished 11 squares for an afghan square exchange and I have to figure out what kind of envelope to mail them in. I am way ahead of my group so I have time to mail.

I have a book report due for Sociology I think on the 14th and just started reading and the book is really dry. Not sure if a sociological study done in 1972 is really relevant today and even if it is not it is kind of tough to read when things have changed so much. I could make that my take on it but it might hurt my brain to think that hard. But it was on the list of suggested books. Maybe I will look for another one. It is called The Hidden Injuries of Class.

School tomorrow. No tests but we should get back the one in AP2 lecture. I am kind of rethinking this school thing. I will finish up this semester, apply for the programs in the Fall, and try to get a job in January and see what happens. I don't think the starting salary for Rad Tech is as much as I thought it would be and I could probably get an Admin Asst job for almost as much pay so what to do?
