my god, i've been studying off my fool little head lately. i'm determined to NOT fail this semester. gah. i've been drinking alarming amounts of coffee (which in it self is alarming as i'm an atleast pot-o-day girl) and i'm almost out of yummy kinds...and down to cheap-o plastic flavored coffee. it was on clearance 'cause i guess that "Hint of Plastic" wasn't a huge seller. grrr.
recall mentions of a "secret knitting project"? it is no longer a secret, friends. first, let me state that while i'm reall pretty good at keeping most secrets, that doesn't include anything about gifts. i love to give gifts and it's really hard for me to not blurt out "IGOTYOUA_____!!!!!!!" to make it worse, i like to not wait til the last minute to get gifts for any occasion...HAHAHAHHAHA!!!! what a freakin' combo. i digress...so, i've been working on the Manly Sweater from SnB for, oh, ever and the fella had finally given up hope of ever actually receiving said sweater (cause, baby, is this damn thing BORING to knit). sweetie that i am, i decided to finish up the stupid boring sweater for his birthday, which is the 27th. i've been secretly knitting on it during the day while he was at work, but, what with studying and what not, it became painfully evident to me last night that, short of causing my wrists permanent damage (not for this sweater) there was no way in sweet Hades that this would be finished in time. so i caved and told him...that way i can work on it at night while i'm not trying to compose papers about religious diversity in 20th century america. which rocks. (ps. that's the kitchen not the bathroom floor...guin :D )
my Mindless Study Socks (which is what i've decided to call them cause i get to name the "pattern") are almost done! i am very loving the fit and feel. and i'm soo proud of the length of the cuff. normally, i become so obsessed to wear the socks i'm working on that i make tiny shortie cuffs, but look! see how long it is???? half way to my knee (which isn't all that far from my foot). these are the most unexcitting, plain socks i've ever made...they aren't the color of clown vomit, or eye searing green or all lacey...but i freaking adore them. i'm in love with the Baby Ull, that's it. (should i be concerned that my legs are almost the exact same color as that wall????)
