I'm Stephanie. I like to knit, write letters and poems, read (novels and blogs!), and stress out to the max. ;) At Sunbeam Soapbox I write about the knitting, letters, and whichever thoughts I want to share with the world. I also like new friends! Feel free to drop me an e-mail anytime using the contact form.

my 'read' shelf:
Happy New Year! I am really excited for 2010—I’ll finally turn 21 and at the end of it I’ll be very close to finishing my undergraduate studies. Which means, horror of horrors, that I’ll have to figure things out and be close to knowing what I’m going to do “next”.
But first, I’m under the impression [...]
This was a long time coming, oops. But now I’m trying to mark things as “done” in my head, and that includes posting about it here—not just wearing it. ;)
Ahem.
What do you think? I look absolutely strapping, right? :D I’ve been getting great compliments on this argyle sweater I got at JCPenney to put more [...]
I was just going through some photos when I realized that I don’t think I posted this.
Which, you know, is probably because I only had time to take an awful photo before finishing them. Apparently I didn’t even put them on Ravelry! I did finish them in time to give them to my mom for [...]
A little while ago I posted on Lunsh about my silly metal closet. Today, though, I found a great use for it:
A drying rack for socks. Woo hoo! They should dry faster with air underneath than with carpet, right? Very good discovery.
(P.S. My mom found Lunsh recently and when she saw that post she sent [...]
Check out my great new shoes.
The Great Freshly Brewed Root Beer Hunt didn’t work out, as every brewery that my parents wanted to sample beer from was out of root beer. Who is ever OUT of root beer? I was severely disgruntled to not be able to be part of the fun. Fine, no souvenirs [...]
Ummm. Hi! Sorry I disappeared for a bit. What can I say? I got sick. I almost want to join the ranks of the non-able-bodied. (There’s a fine line between that and able-bodied, for me.) Would a pair of finished socks make it up to you? A pair of finished socks that I actually washed [...]
Have I ever mentioned that I love the Pomatomus pattern? Because I do, oh yes.
I can’t decide which I’m more sad to see done with: The pattern or the yarn! I’ve really, really enjoyed working with this yarn ever since I got it. (See witchy and another pair of socks I need to tell you [...]
How YOU doin’?
I still don’t get why it’s taken me so long to post these. It must have been part of Spring. But now it’s rainy and I’ve been wearing them in the house (and out to the theater in my nice shoes that aren’t too warm like my sneakers), and I finally am taking [...]
Is this really my first FO of 2009?? Ummm. I suck. Yeah. Also, please excuse the not-posting-on-Friday-like-I-said-I-would. I took the pictures on Friday, does that count? I know, I’m a bad, super-stressed, ultra-procrastinating blogger. But I’m feeling a little proud of myself, I bound off on my Witchy socks last night and they’re soaking right [...]
