New Thing: Knitting Olympics & Ravelympics
I've signed-up and am participating in the Knitting Olympics & Ravelympics. This post shows the yarn and a pic of the pattern of the project I'm going to be working on. It's the Garter Stitch Dog Jacket over on Submissive Knitting. It's for my neighbor's little doggie.

New Thing: Try a Paczki
I've grown up hearing about Paczki (pronounced poonch-key) but never had seen one or tried one till last night. They look like a filled doughnut and taste like one too. So in short to me it was like having a doughnut with more than the normal amount of filling. Pictures will be coming.

New Thing: Sign-up for Ravelympics
I've wanted to take part for a few years. This was the year I stepped up to the plate and did it. I went evern farther than just signing up for the Ravelympics though. I created a team and all that goes with it. My Ravelry group has it's own team now, despite it having only 2 members at this time. The team is: Team Everything Is As It Should Be. I've made sure we have our tag and even made a little icon (below). I'm so excited.

New Thing #2: Carbon Monoxide Scare
This was quite accidental and the whole story is in this entry, but basically I have never dealt with a Carbon Monoxide (CO) scare. I know that it is odorless, tasteless, colorless, and deadly. I know that the winter months can be very dangerous for CO poisoning, but I have never dealt with it beyond the basics. Monday morning I learned first hand though about what happens when 1 apartment in your building has a CO problem. I know we're all very lucky that it was caught early and that the levels didn't get to high.

New Things
Reading a fellow blogger and knitter's blog my roommate and I have been inspired to try and do a new thing each week. It would be something we haven't done yet. We'll see how well I do and what happens.
