Esther's Test

Now that I know this blog works I can get started with the fun stuff! First a little about me: My name is Esther and I'm a grad student studying counseling. I live with my fiancee and our kitten Floyd, its quite nice being the only girl in the house!
We just recently moved to the East Coast from Kansas and we are still adjusting to the lifestyle out here, not to mention the humidity!
I have been knitting a few years now and have only just recently (within the past year or so) branched out from simple knit and purl projects. Now I can't get enough of intricate lace patterns, cables and anything else that might be a challenge. I find myself with less time to knit now than I had in undergrad, but it somehow has made it more satisfying when I do get a chance, and surprisingly I find that I actually knit more now that I have less time.
I hope to soon post some pics of the projects I am working on right now. I'm a gemini so I often have more than two projects going on at once :)
Currently I'm working on finishing up the Salt Peanuts sweater from Inteweave Knits (I'm on the last sleeve), a cabled sock from Knitting on the Go, the Leo Sweater from the Fall issue of Knitty and probably some random neglected project that I am forgetting. More on my WIPS later.
