Second Year of Projects Week 23

Well, the best news of the week is that I've finished my exams. Paediatrics and the Obs and Gynae practical went OK, but the Obs and Gynae written paper was horrible! Luckily, it wasn't only me that thought that, so hopefully I'll have managed to pass.

In the last day or so, I've managed to finish one of Connor's socks

They do seem to me to be more like stockings than socks, but they fit him, and that's all that matters. I decided fitting properly was better than knittng them as a surprise, but he still won't be getting them until Christmas! 

I do have to acknowedge some amazing people though, over on LSG I was gifted the Beekeeper's Quilt pattern from the fairyhoarmother (yes really), which was a very sweet RAK from one of the student midwives on the university thread that I hang out on. I also recieved 400g of Chocolate alpaca from the UK Karma swaps group, which is amazing and I will be spinning up soon!

I don't really have much to share today, since exams have kind of taken over my life, but I'll be reading all your much more interesting posts tomorrow!

      LSG is a group on Ravelry that's not for the faint of heart (translation: if you clutch your pearls a lot, you don't want to be there). It literally translates to, "Lazy, Stupid, and Godless," though don't be misled by the title. There are a bunch of off-shoot groups, too...like "LSS: Lazy, Stupid, and Selfish" which is for selfish knitters/crocheters :)

    Wow to the alpaca! And the sock looks great. Where fitting is concerned, I agree that projects that fit are better than surprises which don't ;).

    Congrats on finishing the exams, that has to be a good feeling. The socks are looking awesome. The groups sound funny, but I'm confused by the titles if people are gifting things to each other?

      It's a silly in joke. Hoar is a term of affection on that board, and it amuses me!

    I'm sorry. I saw the roving and my mind went to chocolate cake batter...yummy!

    Yay for Conor's sock-ings and congrats on the exam :)

    The sock looks lovely and it's much more sensible to be making socks that fit, than socks that might fit! Hope the exams are all finished soon x
