but you gotta be as fly as me, gotta know how to rock your stuff

This would be the stack of notes I need to learn for my latest exam, coming up this week. I’ve been a little on-and-off about knitting while I study, despite the fact that knitting really really helped back in November, when I was working on that sweater I love for NaKniSweMo. But I think a lot of that has been because, when exams roll around, I don’t always have a project that I’m in love with. That, apparently is the trick.

I’ve had six skeins of Lorna’s Laces Worsted sitting in my stash for a few months now, waiting for the Holy Grail of Sweater Patterns. I thought maybe that pattern was going to be Francis, or this button-sleeve raglan (without the dorky Harry Potter lettering), but then I saw elevenstitches’ cardigan adaptation of Owls, and thought to myself, “. . .aha.”

A few swatches and a lot of math later, and I think I have something to help me destress while I’m studying this time around.

This is what I’ve been working on for the past few days, and this is what I’ll be working on pretty steadily until Friday. These are all of the notes I need to remember for my exam (yes, just one exam) that day.

The coffee is helping.
