the big 2-5
Today’s my birthday, and I’m 25 years old.
In my stronger moments I realize that I’ve actually done quite a bit for my age – got a degree, written and published a book (!), started a pretty successful business. And I can get recognized in Hawaii! Of course, there’s still so much to be done and sometimes it feels like time it just slipping by.
Thanks for reading, commenting, tweeting (find me @cosmicplutoknit), and generally being awesome. I don’t know what I’d do without my fabulous Internet Friends and the knitting community at large.
Knitting’s pretty much the same old projects right now – but I’m hoping to move up and onto some new ones soon! In the meanwhile, of course I bought some yarn for my birthday – Koigu.
Got enough of the purple-blue for a sweater, and two skeins each of the pewter and pink – I’m thinking it wants to be colourwork. I ordered a Hanne Falkenberg kit that I’ve had my eye on for awhile too. I don’t know when the last time was that I was this excited to knit someone else’s pattern!
Have a great summer weekend. Mine involves cake!

You picked out some really pretty presents. I hope they are as much fun as you expect and more!

But seriously-have a great one-you deserve it!

63 Happy birthday! It’s amazing how much you have accomplished in just 25 years. Have a great week and enjoy that Koigu!
64 Happy belated birthday! Hope you had a great day!

Laura,
Twenty-five is a wonderful age. I think the reason that you are angsting about the passage of time is because you are so productive. You use your time so well that you notice its passing more acutely than many other people who do not use and treasure their time as well as you do. I never worried about life passing by until I was twice your age. I find now that I am finally not “wasting” my time so freely. Congratulations on your birthday, your accomplishments and on being a great role model
