Study Break

To keep myself sane, I'm taking a little break from studying for my Chem final tomorrow to look at some future knits. These are things that I plan to start over spring break, and that yarn is already purchased for. Hopefully after my test tomorrow I can start these:


These are the "Spring Forward" socks from Knitty (Summer 08). I'm planning on making them for Leah, and they are the first thing on my break list. I bought some Crystal Palace Panda Cotton (a cotton bamboo blend) that hopefully will be good (sure is soft!).
Then I have...

The "February Lady Sweater", which I think is SO cute. I thought a cardigan might be nice for spring, and maybe easier to fit than my last sweater attempt. For this I got some cheap knit pick Comfy Worsted Wool, should knit up fine.
Lastly,

"Baudelaire". I LOVE these socks. I wanted to make them the first time I saw them, and finally think that my skills are decent enough to make an attempt. I've heard horror stories about these socks though (super tight ankle and instep), and hope that none of that bad juju is heading my way. The yarn is in the mail right now, and I ordered enough to give myself options.

Well, that makes me a little more excited to get through my tests and work tomorrow, then off to my knitting. Now, back to thermodynamics and electrochemistry.
