Knitting and Kimchi


I didn’t think that my first blog entry would be about knitting or kimchi but well, here it is. It’s been so cold lately that all I’ve been wanting to do is sit cuddled up in my armchair, knit and watch Battlestar Galactica. Perhaps I should’ve mentioned that in the blog title also. “Knitting, kimchi and BSG.” Kimchi is my comfort food (part of me must be Asian) so I’ve been eating it in different variations over the last few days. Pan-fried with chicken (above), pan-fried with rice cakes (dduk). Now I’ve run out and I’ll have to see when I can go buy some more.

I’m knitting fingerless arm warmers for myself (can anyone tell that I’m cold?) This way I can use them while practicing. I have the right arm finished and had knitted half of the left arm before I realized that I hadn’t made the switch in the pattern and was actually knitting the right arm again. A few hours of work were ripped off in mere minutes and I started on the left arm again, this time correctly. Hopefully the left arm will be finished tomorrow (or rather, later today since it’s past midnight) and then I can post pictures of them.
