While I don't honestly believe that anyone reads this, it helps me to think sometimes and get a zero point on where I'm headed. My semester is going to be just as stressful this spring as it was last fall, which is not good, but I get to go to the local knitting group meetings, which is great. Penn State feels like home to me, but something about my day-to-day life leaves me feeling lost. I feel most together when I'm anywhere with AJ, but on days like today, I can't even muster up the desire to write a two-page paper. But on to the knitting...
I haven't done any knitting since my Christmas Stitch n Bitch, when I finished the lime fingerless gloves for my cousin for Christmas. I have three (priority) projects on needles and four more in the queue, with at least two UFO's just sitting idly on needles. The scarf project I'm going to frog, since I'm only 1' of 6' finished, and I think I'll use the yarn for one of my queued projects.
I am really excited about this brioche stitch hat. The pattern is fairly simple (so far) but kind of tedious, but the colors I'm using and how it knits up are so beautiful. I'll be working on it on Thursday's knit night (my first!) and will hopefully have some progress pictures to show for it.
I shouldn't be working on the hat, though. I should be working on my baby blanket. I'm 75% done! The baby was born in October! I really want both projects finished by the end of the month, but it's not looking good. My beautiful lace work scarf is, again, the lowest priority project... because I can't seem to take any time to knit things for me. Which reminds me. Add lace work dishcloth to queue for Aunt Mary.
I will eventually update the banner and title of the site.
