It's finals week, and I think I have managed to get in over my head even more than is usual for this time of semester. Why oh why did I decide to craft so many projects, ON A DEADLINE? On top of finals! Auuugh. I'm graduating on Friday and while I am, and should be, excited, I'm more stressed about getting everything done.

The list:

•  Final paper, due ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the last day of class of the semester-(and of my current college career, eeee! I'm feeling both excited and weird. Sleeping in this morning was nice though)-so I was a little distracted from posting. But I do have a new WIP this week! Technically I have two, but I didn't photograph the other one. It's not very visually exciting.

So! On ( Read more... )

Woo, I actually have an FO to share! I finished and blocked my Haruni (Ravelry link). I love it. It's so pretty with the leaf borders and the tonal colorway. Those kinds of blues are perfectly suited to me and they are my favorite colors. I knit the pattern straight, not adding or subtracting anything; it turned out surprisingly big. I knit it in ( Read more... )

 Not much going on this week-it's getting close to finals and I've been writing a lot of papers, alas. I have less than a week of class remaining in my current college career and all I can think of is how tired I am. Blah.

Sewing: at the moment this is my main focus. I really want to get this dress done by graduation. I might have to put in a lot of ( Read more... )

Yesterday my cousin and I went to check out a little fabric shop in town, Yellow Bird Fabrics. Fantastic little store. It also happened to coincide with my registering for another Craftsy class, "Sew Retro: The Starlet Suit Jacket" (classes are 50% off this week!). Less because I'm into vintage or vintage-inspired patterns and more because I want ( Read more... )

Okay, so, I have 2 weeks of classes left and then finals. First of all, lots of assignments due, therefore stress. Second of all, it's spring! So I want to be outside and stuff. Third, I'll be graduating soon, eep! And I'm so swamped by "I can't wait for this semester to be over" because of 1 and 2 that I can't appreciate that I'll be moving on to ( Read more... )

 Went to Joann today to hit up their Simplicity pattern sale. Apparently I'm back on a sewing kick; I've recently decided that once school's out and I'm full-time job searching, I'm also going to sew myself some nice office-appropriate clothes, in the hopes that I will have a chance to wear them in an actual job. I'm still working on the graduation ( Read more... )

Just truckin' along here. It's starting to be the End of the Semester, which means finals are approaching, which means my free time will decrease slowly and then increase rapidly (after finals are done.) This week, I have mainly been working on The Dress, with a little spinning thrown in. (I also knit the first four rows of Chart B on my Haruni ( Read more... )

This weeks FOs:

a 3-page response paper to some journal articles on the modern issues of Japanese health care

a 4-page partial review of Country Driving: A Chinese Road Trip by Peter Hessler

... so no crafty things. School's been busy and I've been lazy. And tired, because I apparently no longer go to sleep at any kind of reasonable time.

Also, last ( Read more... )

The twill scarves are done! The stripey socks are done! A sweater is done!
