The last stretch

December 13, 2008

Well, it’s officially exam week tomorrow, and I have had no time or energy to knit anything lately.

I’m 15 chapters behind in Frankenstein and I have to have that done by Monday. (It’s not that it’s really a boring book, I just don’t like reading for school. >_< )

My “Egg Drop Project” for Physics is coming along nicely, and hopefully it works.

The December edition of the Newspaper comes out on Tuesday and I need to proofread and check the whole thing..

I got half of my Christmas shopping done today!

Now, I’m off to finish some other things. Happy knitting!

Startitis!

December 3, 2008

Crap! I’ve always been a pretty focused person, and that includes my knitting. I can usually keep it down to two or maybe three things on the needles at one time. But right now? I have a scarf, a cardigan, another pair of garter stitch mitts, a sock, and a hat or two to work on.. Plus I have a bunch of things that I want to start. Help!!

For our Secret Santa at work, I knit this tiny sweater ornament. Isn’t it adorable? It’s about three inches across, knit in alpaca on size 2 needles. I love it! When I have my own Christmas tree, I want to make one of these every year. (The way we do our Secret Santa, we draw a different name each week for four weeks. This was week one. For week two, I knit a mitten ornament and I did not like it. It was really frustrating! This week will be a Santa hat.)

Happy knitting!
