knitting and the life I almost have around it
Finished Casablanca (and failed to clean the mirror adequately)
Finished the Starburst Sweater. LOVE (1)
Spun some BFL/soy from EGMTK.
I got engaged. (Wow, hands look freaky that close up!)

I'm just your typical aussie girl, except I can't surf, hate beer and think meat pies should be buried. I knit like a madwoman and seem to be getting the hang of it along the way. I finally found some knitting soul-sisters and want to marry them all in a bizarre cult-esque ceremony. I have also been sewing my own clothes since my early teens and am trying to eradicate the need to stand in change rooms completely. In my spare time i'm a brand new High School English teacher and I LOVE IT. Oh, and I just got married.

Congrats to you and Monkey :)

Good to see you've got your priorities straight: knitting first, engagement last.
Lovely ring. That boy has good taste (in both rings and women!)

Congratulations! Are you going to get married in winter so you can wear a knitted wedding dress? My mother actually wore a very tasteful wedding dress made out of knit fabric (not hand knitted though). Let me know if you're interested in seeing a picture.
