My name is Alex and I live in New York City. Things are changing and my life is becoming more stressful. This is all here to remind myself of the beauty of life and everything I love.  


But this is what I believe: शान्ति

It is possible to cultivate a still mind even in surroundings that are anything but tranquil.

My after school program has a knitting club. I have knitted and crocheted before but never finished a project. I relearned how to knit with the kids and made my first hat! It is super weird looking but is still strangely appealing. Not bad for a first project! It was fun, painless, and relaxing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In my quest to become better at knitting, I have vowed to make some buddies hats. So I am now on my second project&amp;#8230;and dare I say&amp;#8230;it is turing out beautifully? I just hope it fits his damn head. The next hat I&amp;#8217;m gonna make is going to be a bit more difficult. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I tried to make a scarf but that was taking too long. I couldn&amp;#8217;t deal. Maybe when I get a little more stamina. I might make a snood next.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is all very exciting. Photos to come once it is finished.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://strange-et-beautiful.tumblr.com/post/49060366028</link><guid>http://strange-et-beautiful.tumblr.com/post/49060366028</guid><pubDate>Sat, 27 Apr 2013 23:12:46 -0400</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
