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.
