A Post Chirstmas Lull

Happy Belated Christmas everyone.

Since the happy holiday is over, I don't have the necessity make anything right away (except a striped bookmark, but it'll take five seconds). Since I haven't made anything for myself in over a month, I've decided to start a large undertaking. Yep, that's right, I'm going to make myself a sweater dress. Well, it's actually more of a sweater jumper, but you get the idea.
I've only done 3 rows of it since there are 171 sts in each row, but I'm hoping to get several inches done tomorrow.
After that I'm making myself the "square cake" purse from the winter knitty, and a sweater vest for my friend's birthday in early February.

I must say I enjoy being able to focus on a few projects for long periods of time, instead of tons of projects that I have to finish in two days.

Virginia!!

Have I mentioned yet that I'm going there for college? I am. William and Mary next fall. I wrote my essay on knitting, and how it's taught me a lot and helped me through even more. My extra submission was even a knitted item. I'm on cloud nine right now, and I can't help but beam even more widely than normal whilst knitting.

(The only time I'm not smiling is when I must work on that stupid entrelac scarf. It has to be done by Thursday night, and I ran out of yarn yesterday. Uggh.)

Ahhh, Entrelac

I'm at a bit of a standstill when it comes to the scarf I have to make for secret santa at work
I've only knit two squares of the thing since last Friday, and I really should finish is by next Friday. Basically I have a week to get it done. The problem is thus: I have presents to make for friends still. I feel like I should finish them before I even think about coworkers. But, I have put a great deal of effort into this scarf. Maybe if I just suck it up I can be done in two or three days. I've only got about a foot or two left to make. ughh. Entrelac is a fun technique, but I think I'll be done with it for a while after this WIP.

Finished!

I finished "Cherie Amour" last night! And then I finished "Hearts" this evening!
Annnnddd I got into college! It's been an excellent day!
