Semester Done

Well, as of yesterday, my semester is complete! I am glad that it's over. 2 of the classes went very well, the other one not so. It's not worth it for me to get overly perturbed about it though. At the worst, I will just take the class again with a different professor.

In other news, I've been scratching my itch to learn how to knit socks 2 at a time on 2 circular needles. It's fun and I think I've finally found the cure for my Second Sock Syndrome! The alpaca/silk yarn for the Rambling Leaves Shawl arrived and I am looking forward to getting that started. I am exercising some self-control in not casting on for that until I get some other stuff finished first.

My next dream projects are to make myself some convertible mittens/gloves and a Lopi sweater. I love the Icelandic designs (I have a bit of an Iceland fetish anyway) and I like that they're done in bulky yarn so they knit up fast. I am just trying to decide which one to make. Should it be this one? (my favorite so far)

More complicated:



Monochromatic:



Or if I decide to go for texture rather than colorwork:



I am taking votes and suggestions about this in the comments.
