Evil Sweater



So as you can see from the picture of my sweater it is like 3 inches shorter than a couple days ago. So I realized when I was working on it that I had been decreasing improperly for the armholes. THAT I HAD FINISHED DOING! So now I have to redo the arm holes which is making me upset. I want to get it back to where it was this weekend but with the multitude of readings that I have to do (I might post a picture of those next time) along with all the other things that need to be done I have a sinking feeling that it won't get done. At least I have all sorts of time during my tv shows to knit. It just makes me so sad.

The Sweater


So I've finally decided I can allow myself to escape from homework long enough to put up another post. And as you can see I've given you a picture of what I have managed on my sweater so far. This is the back and I've finally started to decrease for my sleeves. I'm rather excited because I'm going from 90 stitches across down to 58 which means its soooooooo much easier to finish a row.
So when I was taking this picture I pinned down the sweater and figured it would be easy to grab my camera and take the picture. BUT NO! I couldn't find my camera. I remembered where it was before school but no it wasn't there anymore. So I tore apart my room looking for the camera. When I finally found it I rolled over the sweater with my chair So this picture more annoys me than make me feel accomplished for getting this done but what can you do? Nothing!
I found a knitting club downtown thats on Friday nights for a couple hours. I figure since I can never spend more than 10 to 20 minutes straight working on a piece this might be a way for me to actually accomplish something. We'll see and I'll update you if I actually go in two days.
Now that I'm feeling sufficiently guilty for avoiding homework for a little while longer I will get back to it.
Enjoy.

Am I crazy or what?

This is the part where you all yell "yes!" Since I want to write about knitting and barely have enough time to knit due to school alone and yet I want to write about it. Since I'm writing this while waiting for my next class to start, instead of doing readings of course, next post I'll add a picture of one of my current projects. My favorite one at this point which is my sweater. But this post which is only going to be partially related to knitting will probably be how I end up posting for this blog. Which what I'm trying to say is this is supposed to be about knitting and about 90% of the time it probably will not be.
The reason for this post is I was thinking while in my last class that professors should just post all their lectures through podcasts. And then students could either send questions through email or post a video reply to the podcast. Because then you wouldn't feel the need to take notes. And I would totally knit while listening to these podcasts. Plus then you if you insisted on taking notes you could just go back a little to find out what the professor said instead of interrupting the class to find out what they said. They also need to find a way to make it so its much easier to multitask. I spend like 70% of my free time doing readings for my class which I think is nearly ridiculous. So all books should be audioized so that it would be so much easier to listen to them and do something that just requires your hands.

I can't remember anything else.
So happy knitting.
