When I finished my Clapotis, I straightaway went to work on my next project, the Stellina Shawl in Morehouse Merino.  I really like this yarn, and the whole thing just seems to knit itself.  I have been pretty busy at work and generally tired lately, so it is really nice to have an easy-peasy project to knit in front of the TV at night.  I'll take a shot of it someday soon.  Until then, just check out the pattern website.  Mine looks JUST like that (  ...right...).

One thing I like about knitting is that I spend my time in front of the TV knitting, and not snacking!  During my elbow pain-induced knitting hiatus, I realized just how much unnecessary snacking I do when I don't have something else to do with my hands.  It's a good thing that my bike-dependent lifestyle allows me to have Oreos for dinner now and then, and still stay in pretty good shape.  Even so, now that I am knitting again, I was just thinking about how good it is to be back to eating a REAL dinner and calling it a night! 

That is, of course, until today.  I stopped at the high-end grocery store on my way home from school today and unfortunately wandered down the snacks aisle.  I really wish I didn't have a sweet tooth with a mind of its own...

...but I do!  So much for not snacking while i do my knitting!  I have never seen any of these things before, ANYWHERE in the world.  The wine-flavored Haribo gummies are the best.  As for the other delights, we shall see.  It's a good thing there is still a big hill sitting between me and that grocery store.  I figure I probably worked all this stuff off on the way home.
