I got nice grades on all my finals, upper 90's for all the grades at the end of the mod, so ME HAPPY. I think I still have the 4.0 (heheheheheee) How pissed am I going to be if I lose that? lol (repeat after me - chill out chill out chill out)
We actually did Stress Management today in class. I didn't bring up rehab but I did say psychotic snap once =)*) -- Hey it happens, why pretend otherwise? No point being ashamed of something you have absolutely no control over. Which was pretty much the theme of Stress Management, naturally. I think I need to exercise more though. I KNOW I do.
ok off topic - get back on track
SO... KNITTING! Yes I have been doing it, even though there has been little proof around here. I guess I did the knitting instead of talking about it, I don't always have the window of opportunity for both.
Here's the evidence:
I think this pic is squished a little
One, ONE new scarf AH HA HA
Two TWO skeins of Baby Alpaca
Eight, EIGHT feet eight inches long AH HA HA HHHAAA!
(nearly 3 meters!)
I was needing something more mindless than a sock on tiny needles. Plus, even though I have made lots of scarves, I don't really like very many of them. Mostly because my main scarf knitting time was back in the beginning before I knew God created better yarn than acrylic. I have one skinny scarf I like, but it's not SO great when it's super cold. The only thing I would have liked better is if I had some ridiculously long (46" circ) bamboo instead of the addi turbos. I love the addis, don't get me wrong, it's just that this yarn is super slippery and I had a little trouble at first dropping stitches here and there. So I ripped it back and started over, and made it a few stitches longer, putting it at about 305 stitches on a 10.5 46" circ. YEAH baby!
Once my loverly new scarf was done, I finished the sock. So my oldest has one new sock and another one on the way.
As you see, I ran out of the green and had to use some navy blue on the toe. If I had been thinking and paying attention, I could have used it on the heel, too, but that's okay, it'll never show in shoes. He likes it anyway. I was planning these to be dress socks, but he wants them to be play socks, which means I could have made them less tall, since he's used to the ankle kind. Oh well, they'll be good for cold school days anyway.
Aside from the knitting, I've been taking lots and lots of sky pictures. We have had a major amount of awesome sunrises and sunsets lately. I even got a couple of decently unblurry moon shots with this dinky camera. Most of the pictures are from my camera phone - which can be a challenge, but I'm getting better. I'll try to whittle it down a bit, since there are loads of them. So breath deep, center yourself and enjoy =)

Such a talented lady you are. So glad school is going well--High 90's--I would guess you still have that 4.0
Good to see you blogging again. I have been so behind as well. Your finals sounds like they went well and the sky pictures are lovely :)
Great scarf! I'll bet its super soft and squishy warm as well :) Good to see you in blogland.
Wow, that is one looooong scarf!
About the 4.0, you're right, chill out chill out chill out. Imagine my surprise when I got my fist B... and the world continued to spin on its axis!
That looks like such a nice and soft and squishy scarf! Great knitting porn! And, great sky you got there!
Love the scarf!! Your sky shots are fantastic!
Lovely sky shots - very atmospheric!
I'm loving The Count references with the scarf!
I'm sure the kiddlet won't even notice the little bit of blue on the toe and even if anyone else does, you can call it a design feature! :D
