May Update

Well, it never seems that I have a lot happening but I guess things are happening since I stay busy. I haven’t made any more hats but I did finish up 2 more scarves so that has been good. I got a pattern for a lace scarf that I’ve started 3 times and will rip it out again since it isn’t looking right.

The big news around work is that our personal package shipping has been suspended effective immediately. Most people have been very upset about the way we were told and frustrated since we had no notice. They might restart it with the new fiscal year but we don’t know and we won’t know anything until July or even August. I hoping that they figure out something a little faster but I’m not holding my breath.

Other exciting news is that I can get shawarma in the cafeteria at lunch. I know, it doesn’t seem like a lot but it is very exciting. (Shawarmas are like Arabic tacos.) Most places you can only get shawarmas in the evening which is frustrating when you want some for lunch. So my lunch now is a shawarma with no onions, an apple and a banana. Isn’t that healthy? I thought so and I keep reminding myself of that when I look at the ice cream machine and don’t get one.

That is about it. Another 1.5 weeks until summer session starts and then I’ll be very busy. Hope all is going well with you!

A Hat Knitting Machine

So I like knitting hats, a lot. I've been knitting to give stuff to Lutheran Social Services in Anchorage because my family doesn't need any more but I love making them. From top left to right, waffle hat, Beaufort Hat, Basic Cable Hat. The bottom row is the ski hat with ear flaps, and without ear flaps, and then the knit flat hat.

This is the matching hat with scarf that I also made for LSSA.

I should get back to work. Hope all is going well!
