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.

The new year doesn’t really start for me until my birthday (Jan. 26), so let’s say I wrote this in plenty of time. ;) It’s not really 2010 I’m concerned about but being 21. What will being a whole year older make me feel? And how do I want to embrace the changes of becoming [...]
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 [...]
(Either it’s too cloudy out or my camera just can’t capture lime green. This is bad news. Please excuse the crappy photos.)
I finished the knitting on the shawl. OMG! It took a little over a week — I thought it would take much, much longer. Someone should’ve warned me that even a beginner like me [...]
Somehow it got to be October recently; really, well into October. That means it’s SOCKTOBERFEST!
Actually, around here it’s pretty much always Socktoberfest, when I’m knitting. I’ve been working on those socks for AGES. I feel so badly—I promised these socks ages ago, but they’re taking me forever. Soon! Soon! They’ll be finished and I can [...]
It feels GREAT to write here again. Maybe soon I’ll even have knitting to share! It has been the roughest week ever — butting heads with instructors, over and over and over again? Not in the least a fan of it. I’m withdrawing from that class. So I might even have time to knit a [...]
I mentioned yesterday that I am fighting off a cold. Still am, drinking lots of water, trying many different throat lozenges and not moving far from my bed today. I’ve finished reading Note to Self, started reading Americans’ Favorite Poems, then went on to look through my collection of knitting magazines. After that I got [...]
I actually hadn’t meant that I was going to stop writing here for a while with my last post. I really meant that I wanted to change what I was writing about and how I was writing. But instead, life took its own view of things and forced me to realize how very little time [...]
I am becoming out of practice with the practice of writing out my thoughts. I want to tell a story (any story really, except the one that I have to edit 99 pictures and videos for), but I don’t know how to tell any one. I’ve been too busy, or too distracted, or too immersed [...]
Hey blog, what’s up? I may have neglected you recently, but I have to admit that it was completely purposefully. I had decided that I wouldn’t allow myself to do a large amount of things while I was stuck in Work On Paper mode, and blogging was one of them. I thought now that it’s [...]
