A Finished Object!

I'm rather bored of break, already.  I know, that's totally lame, I should enjoy the time to myself.  But BF went across a few continents and his internet access is spotty, BFF works a lot, and my family is driving me nuts.  So I'm holing up in my room, knitting and listening to podcasts and reading.  Not a bad way to pass time, but I sure do wish BF was here.

I finished this Gloria Cowl in about a day and a half, using the STR mediumweight that BF gave me back in September as a birthday gift.  I *love* Chapman Springs!

And here it is on me.  It took like 18 shots to get a good one, but once I started I couldn't just give up and use a crappy photo...

Finals Week...

I've been pretty stressed lately, but luckily yesterday I sold back my Economics textbook and got surprised with $80 back! So I then promptly went to Ravelry and bought a skein of mediumweight STR in Bella Coola, as retail therapy for the stressed-out-ness.  Then, looking through the other projects people have made with that same yarn, I realized how perfect it is for the Pomatomus pattern.  Since I was pretty unsatisfied with my Pomatomus-in-progress I decided to rip it and got some further catharsis from the school-induced stress.  Only one more test!

Cadence Tagged Me!

And I've finished my toughest final, so I'm taking the bait.  Here's how it works:

1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. Let each person know they've been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.

MY SIX THINGS, from Girl Meets Needle

1. Whenever I walk down a set of stairs, especially stone ones (there are a lot on my hilly campus), I'm afraid that I'm going to fall down them face-first and break all my teeth.  I categorically refuse to even walk fast down stairs because it freaks me out so much.

2.  I'm a college junior and refuse to drink alcohol (wine at church, Bailey's drizzled on vanilla ice cream, all fine. But actually drinking? Not for me...and it's probably related to #3).

3.  Vomiting is the most unpleasant experience in the world, in my opinion.

4. I go to church because I like to sing and I've been doing it my whole life, not because I feel particularly strongly about religion.

5.  I'm pretty much a garbage compactor for my friends: any food they don't want, I'll try and probably eat.  It's one of my principal skills.

6.  John Mayer is my favorite musical artist of all time, and I don't care if people don't like him.  If people try to convince me he's terrible, that's when I start caring, and being annoyed with those people.  My mind is made up :)

Ahh! I don't know six bloggers! Anyone who reads my blog and wants to take this, you're welcome to it!
