I keep buying yarn.

The only yarn I can justify is the scarf exchange yarn, which is gorgeous. But I picked up some malabrigo yarn for me, and I recently bought some Crystal Palace Iceland solid on ravelry. And I have some Knitpicks memories on the way. Eek. I have tons of sock yarn and I can't even knit socks. Need to learn desperately.

I do not need more yarn or more wips besides what I have. The only new project I am allowed to start is the scarf for the scarf exchange as soon as I get the yarn. That is ALL.

Sigh but ravelry makes it so easy...

8 hours + of sleep

Amazing. This whole week I've been staying up til midnight and getting up around 6:15am. Not very conducive to my happiness.

But last night I went to bed around 10 for a bit, and then woke up for about 15 minutes at 11. Then I slept until 7:30 when my phone rang...my friend apologized and I went back to sleep until almost 9 oclock.

I feel so much better now that I've had a good night's sleep.

Last night I cast on for Jacob's scarf because the Razor Cami is wearing away at my fingers. Cotton twist isn't the softest thing. This Bernat Softee Chunky is pretty smooth and soft. I've got one stripe down. I don't know how many I'm going to do, I guess just until I'm about to run out of white yarn. I'm going to try and weave in ends as I go so I don't cry at the end.

Oh, and 1930? Yeah, finished it last night in time for the Ravelry UFO deadline. It's horrible, I hate it, but it's finished and I never have to look at it again. =]

All I really want to do is knit.

But instead I am writing a paper on the industrialization of biology. I hope I spelled that right, I seem to spell it differently everytime I type it.

Bought Stitch n' Bitch yesterday, just because. I only have one "technique" book and it's always good to have another. I want to teach myself how to use charts by making the little heart swatch with raised purl bumps because that would be quick but I can't let myself. I think I'm going to cast on for Jacob's scarf and just do it in garter stitch. I don't know how wide he wants the stripes, but..oh well. I'll see what I can do. I guess I'll have to get Steven to give it to him since I don't see Jacob anymore. But I SAID I would knit him a scarf so I will. And he bought the yarn and I guess it would be mean of me just to keep it.

I'm having doubts on the scarf pattern I picked out. All of the examples I could find on ravelry aren't in the color I'm thinking about using, so I think that's part of it. I think with the right color and in wool or something like it it'll turn out the way I want. (Having a car would make getting this yarn a whole lot easier. But I guess Wes will take me by there sometime this week...or he said he would, anyway.)

Back to penicillin and all that jazz. I had to remove Stitch n' bitch from my bed where I'm working so that I don't look at it...SIGH.

Yarn crisis.

I came home a bit suddenly for the weekend, and I thought I'd grabbed everything. Laptop, books, dirty laundry, clothes, knitting.

Except an extra skein of yarn. I am approaching the end of this ball of yarn and had a skein out to bring with me. I went to wind it just now and it is not there. I can just see it languishing in my dorm room. I ended up doing a lot of knitting when I was waiting last night, hence the almost gone ball of yarn. I guess this means that I HAVE to work on 1930 now, but, ah. The razor cami is so close to being done and I don't have any other yarn with me. I'm not really feeling like sewing right now anyway.

Now that I know I don't have yarn to continue, I'm itching to work on the cami. It's been my only wip for awhile, as I've been restraining myself. Now I wish I had something else to knit. Ahh!!!

In other news, I've picked out the scarf pattern I'm going to make for the scarf exchange. I'm going to go to the LYS sometime next week and find some nice yarn for it. I've been looking online but I definitely want to buy in store to make sure its the right color and feel.

Guess I should get back to ancient Greece now. Sigh. I love writing papers.

I'm  headed back to WKU after a weekend at home. Have a test tomorrow, ick. And I have a paper to write on Lycurgus. Oh, college.

I ended up spending all of Saturday by myself just studying. Yesterday I went to lunch with the girls at Las Fuentes and then spent the rest of the
day with Curcio. It was a good day, I think. I got a watch, finally.

Waiting to go to the lys on Tuesday so I can buy the yarn for the scarf I'm making for the scarf exchange--I'm 99% sure about the pattern.

College

So I'm all moved into college and that. It's okay. Not much has been going on. I'm teaching Marianne--my roommate--how to knit. We still haven't made it past casting on, but we're getting there. Still trucking along on the Razor Cami. Slow going. It's harder to just pick up now at college if I'm not just on a k row. Thinking about starting something else with this one skein of Berroco Quest.

Classes start tomorrow. I have Biotech, History, and Chemistry. I actually don't have a ton of books. I have 5 books for history but we're using one at a time, I think. Biotech is just The Mold in Dr. Florey's Coat which is just a paperback. I was a little surprised I hadn't already read it.

Okay, okay, not much is going on. Later I'm going to go look for my classes again and make sure I know where they all are. Just thought I'd get in a quick update.
