1 Final Done, 2 To Go

First of all: I hate being sick. I've been fighting a nasty head cold ALL WEEK. ARGH!

Second of all: I hate finals week, but I most especially hate finals week if I'm sick at THE SAME TIME! I've been asleep at about 7:30 most days this week and I probably really should have been studying. lol

Third of all: I hate that both of these things kept me from knitting! I haven't knit even one stitch, and have had to just stare at this on my desk longingly, instead:

Traveling Woman Shawl

I'm finally starting a project with that sumptuous green yarn that my from Hope bought me! This shawl has two different patterns in it yet to come which means reading the charts, which I haven't done much of yet so far. That's going to be my big stretch with this project. I'm not much of a Shawl Wearer, but I picture me wearing mine more like this:


.. so we'll see. :)

Also, Christmas has visited our house! The tree went up last night! (in between study breaks, of course) and our house smells soooo good. :)

and we bought another piece for our winter village too:


Other than this, it's been school school school all week. Just a few more days and it'll all be done!

  1. It sounds like you will really appreciate your winter break! I haven't had any real exams for a couple of years, as I'm out of school, but I know the feeling. It's good that it's over soon!

    It will be great to see your Travelling Woman, I'm currently a bit obsessed about shawls! I plan to wear most of the ones I'm going to knit next year that way too. It's great now that winter's coming along, we actually got some snow today.

  2. Definite signs of a knitter --- aggravation over ANYthing interfering (especially health and school. . .)
