It’s amazing what can happen in a day

Yesterday was the first day of peace I’ve had since the summer semester started. I really hadn’t had any time to knit more than a row since May, and yesterday I spent the day being lazy, regardless of the disaster that is my house. I had spent the past 3 months doing nothing but reading and studying, going to classes, getting notes prepared for tests, etc., that yesterday I said “F$*K IT!” I’m taking a knitting day! If you want a clean house, you clean it! I’m taking a break. I did just that.

Because of this, I finally finished the Solstice Slip sock that really only needed a good couple hours to complete, but I didn’t have the time to dedicate to it. I also finished the lace repeats on the Drawstring Chemise, so now I need to go out and get a long #3 cable needle so I can join in the round (I refuse to seam after the Stepson Sweater for hell!), and start with the mundane task of doing round upon round of stockinette stitch until I reach the lace at the top of the Chemise. I also started the Summer of Love Lace Socks from last years Rockin Sock Club.

So as soon as I can, I’m going to start snapping pictures.  I’ve also spun a little (very little), but I have pictures of this that needs to be taken as well.  The fiber I’m incredibly proud of because it looks awesome in my opinion, but I’m biased.  :razz:

This is my quick update since I really haven’t had much knitting content to talk about.  Hopefully I’ll be able to update with a little more frequency.  There’s been some wonderful changes going on in my life lately which may allow for me to be able to knit a little more.  I’ve decided to attend school full-time this year and work part-time so that I can finish already!  This is my last year of school, and I want to partake of the whole school experience, so I’m going to make it work!  I’ll be working part time so that I can still take care of my expenses, but school is going to be my priority, and with the change I should have some time in between classes for knitting.  :)

Wish me luck guys!
