Almost there...

Ok so I still have to write 1500 words on why Iago is sooooo gay for Othello but after that I'm done.  I turned everything in and now I just wait till next Friday when the ceremony happens.  Wow.  These past four years really flew by.  Also my first pair of sock wars socks went in the mail yesterday hopefully to be followed by many others.  I took a little longer than usual I don't know what happened but now that I'm waiting for my target's socks to come I don't know what to do with myself.  Should I start on the socks for myself or will that make me sick of socks?  Is that possible?  Deep questions that I have yet to answer... one thing I do know is gay Iago has to come first.

Why oh why can't I sleep...

You would think that this whole not sleeping thing would have ended considering the huge amount of stress I just let go of but no it didn't I still can't sleep.  I have to work tomorrow!  Anyway, what was the stress you ask?  Well I had two incompletes and I'm supposed to graduate in uh...*looks at watch* 17 days and if those weren't made into completes I wouldn't be.  Also I found out that I had forgotten to take a class.  Four years and I never took this one class I needed so I had to wrangle that somehow.  Did I mention that I needed a 7 page paper and a 10 page paper for one of those classes?  Well I did and I had about two days in which to do them on one of which I had to work.  I would have had more time but if they were in late my name wouldn't be on the program.  I personally don't care but when I mentioned the chance of this happening to my mom she made a sound like a kicked puppy.  Anyway, long story short I did it, I got them in, I got a B, I'm graduating and my name is in the program.  So my question now is why do I still feel stressed?  I guess I just worry too much, I swear that's why I knit because I can't worry and knit I screw up too much and then my project flies across the room.  I should feel relieved and tired.  Maybe I should stop typing and work on my sweater, I'm hoping to get it done before sock wars 3, it might help.  Yeah that's a good idea if I can't be awake at least I can be productive.  

Yay I finished something!

Ok so this isn't the first thing I've finished and it isn't the first thing I've finished this year but it seems like I haven't finished something in a while so I'm excited about it.  I finished the lamb last night at group and it is sooo cute!  I also finished the front of the purse yesterday but I almost gave myself a blister because the yarn is so tough.  I love the way the purse is coming out but my hands are taking a hit from it.  I also started my sweater.  I think I just wanted to knit something soft and gorgeous instead of industrial cotton.  I decided my sock wars practice socks would wait until after my baby set is done and yet my sweater is 3" long but whatever.  My goal is to finish the baby set in the next two weeks and then everything else is just for me or for fun, unless someone else calls me with big news.  All I have to do on the set is the back and finishing of the romper and booties.  That's it.  I can do that in two weeks no problem.

Sooo close...

Ahhh! All I need to do is sew on the ears and the buttons but I'm too tired and I can't do it tonight I'll mess up I know it so it'll have to keep till tomorrow.  I was going to have to bring the whole thing with me to knitting tomorrow anyway to show everyone so I'll just sew everything on at knitting.  I have to go to my uncles tomorrow morning for pretty much nothing so I got to get up super early and find my romper and everything that goes with it so I have something to work on in class otherwise I'll be tempted to start a new project.  Like my socks.  Oh wait I know I'll work on my concert purse.  Duh.  I knew that I of all people could never be without an unfinished project to work on, I even bought short 3's to knit it with cause my 3's that I was using are about 48" long maybe 49" I haven't measured but anyway they are too long, they annoy me.  This is good maybe I don't have to get up as early as I thought maybe I'll just say screw the romper for one more day and just work on the purse.  Yeah I think I'll do that.  Time for bed.  Goodnight.

Almost there...

Ok so I took the day off to recover from easter and then Mel came over because we had to celebrate her making it through lent so I did some work on the lamb and it's almost done!  Yay!  One garter stitch project almost off the needles.  Once I finish this I can dig back into the dalegarn baby set that I really have to finish.  I really want to start on a pair of socks for myself as well I just have to decide on a pattern, and find my new tofutsies, I don't know where it went.  I got another ball at windsor that I liked and then promptly lost it apparently.  Hmmm... anyway I have to work tomorrow so I think I'll finish the lamb since all I have to do is finish the hood and the button band really then I'll work on the socks for the store it's about time I finished those; seriously.  Then when I get home I can find the romper cause somehow I lost that too and start working on that again.  This is why I am stressing about the socks I want to start, I can't do another project all in one stitch!  No more too boring.  Ok so I have a plan for tomorrow at least that's a step in the right direction and maybe I'll actually accomplish something this year.

Didn't accomplish much today...

Ok so I had to work today and the other woman I work with Judie hurt her shoulder and can't knit so she asked me to finish the sweater she was making for her granddaughter.  I don't know how you use your shoulder when knitting but maybe I'm just weird.  Anyway all she needed was one sleeve so that's what I did today one sleeve and a bit of work on Lamb sleeve number two.  I really wanted to finish the sleeve before I left work today but it had to match and Judie made hers so damn long so I had to bring it home.  I'll bring it in on Wednesday and leave it for her.  Anyway I did manage to find my camera today so I took pictures of just about everything and put them on my ravelry.  I knew this would take over my life.  I can't stop looking at it which is ridiculous.  I am now obsessed.  What else is new?  Plus my hair looked good today so I had to take some new profile pics.  I should go to bed I have to be in Braintree at the ass crack of dawn tomorrow.  Since when did holidays turn into torture days? 

It only took ten years...

So on Wednesday Mistyque and I taught my best friend Mel how to knit.  Something I've been suggesting she do for the entirety of our friendship. Did she listen?  NO!  She finally agreed in the hopes of joining sock wars next year, we'll see,  and now she is barreling away.  She got some blue homespun and some 11 needles and already has more than a foot she has also vowed to knit further on her scarf by Monday than her friend Katherine has since she learned how to knit a little over a month ago.  It was nice tonight we watched a movie and just worked on our respective projects; her on her scarf and me on my lamb.  She is so excited so in honor of my finally having worn her down I am going to put her scarf in my project list so that the world can see if it sticks.
