A new tattoo...

So wednesday I got my second tattoo (the first one I got 10 years ago when I was 18). I always thought I'd have several tattoos by now, but somehow didn't get around to getting anymore. So no time like the present...

Here's a closeup of what it looks like:


And here is a photo to show where it is:


It's healing up nicely and should look better in a week or two. I love the decorative quality of tattoos. I was originally planning on getting one on my left forearm but figured with the wedding this year that I might regret having it show up in the photos. So I'll get that one next year.

And here is some knitting to show as well. I printed out the clapotis pattern in september of 04 (the date was on the printout) and finally decided to make it (just like everyone else ;). The pattern is really easy to follow and is turning out quite nicely. I'm using some more of the merino that I got in november. It's yummy!



Happy new year!
