I'm very frustrated now that I'm back at school. Over the summer, even with my internship, I was putting in a solid two hours of knitting a day. Now, I'm lucky if I sit down for a half hour. The only times I get much done at all is when I go to our Stitch 'n' Bitch on Wednesdays.
I'm sometimes overcome with the desire to blow off all my homework and my classes and just knit for a few days straight, but I'm really too much of a goody two shoes for that.
In the past week gotten the edging around the second corner on the Syrian Shoulder Shawl. I'm looking forward to finishing this, I want to start a new lace project, but I'm not allowed until I finish this one. I have to be very bossy with myself when it comes to starting new projects. If I just started projects as the ideas came to me, I'd be bankrupt and frustrated because I'd never finish a thing. But I'm just about to round the third corner, so the end is in sight.
Soon my dear friend Kristina will be taking pictures of my knitting. I am very pleased about this because I need pictures for my projects on Ravelry (which by the way is so insanely cool I just can't stand it), and not only does Kristina have a real camera, she's also a really bitchin' amateur photographer!

It's finally happened...
It's finally happened. After reading so many great blogs by other knitters out there, and just never being able to talk about my knitting enough, I'm starting my own wee blog. I used to have a personal blog that I wrote in very frequently, but I grew up and my desire to air all of my personal problems on the internet waned.
But now I want to talk about knitting.
I have two projects on the needles now, the Syrian Shoulder Shawl from Victorian Lace Today and a tea-cozy that I'm making up as I go along.
I'm actually very excited about my little tea-cozy. I've only ever knitted from patterns before, so I'm all jazzed that I'm actually making something up right out of my own head. I've been wanting to knit a tea-cozy because I drink tea like it is my job as long as the ambient temperature is below 75, and I like my tea burning hot. I've seen patterns for other tea-cozies, but none of them really caught my fancy. Then once day in class I had a neat idea, so I've been fooling around with it since.
There will be more to come, but for now, it's Friday, so I'm off to do some leisure knitting.
