The giant stuffed tiger Jeff got me for Christmas and me trying to knit while cuddling with it...his name is Nedward

Proof of my crazy finals period

Me writing my psych paper: that's 11 pages of notes spread over my desk, and my paper being written on the big screen.
"Mercy Hat" on Stout Cow :D

FINISHED SWEATER

Mercy Hat on me!

So, I realized I haven't blogged in um ever. Not that anyone would really notice except Rachel. I had to wait until my crazy finals period was done, as you can see there was neither time nor room to knit. News in my knitting life: I finished my sweater. 7 skeins of stockinette stitch. Me oh my. It's a little short, and the arms don't allow for a whole lot of movement, but it's ok, it's my first sweater, so I don't judge...myself.

I knit this hat Rach gave me the pattern for called "Mercy" from Rowan Knits. I bought this beautiful yarn in the morning, and the hat was finished by the end of the day!!! I never really understood why Rachel liked circular needles so much, but I guess it was because I never had such a wide project that I needed laid out before. Dear everyone: circular needles are great for wide projects. Lesson learned.

I've decided that since I don't really knit exciting things/ that often/ know that much about knitting, I'm going to need to write about more than just knitting. Which will turn this into my Xanga. Whatevs. I am too tired to blog about my thoughts and life right now since I JUST finished finals at 11:00 am today, so I thought I'd just update on some projects and whatnot, and Stout cow. I INVENTED PHYSICS
