Ambition

This semester, I may have bitten off more than I care to chew. I'm taking 20 semester hours so I can graduate this spring. There are a lot of projects due at the end of the semester, which will wreak havoc on my knitting time. And with the holidays coming I have deadlines. Not only that, but I'm also attempting to make own lace stole from the Second Book of Modern Lace Knitting for my wedding in March. So far, I only have abou 1.5 inches done. And hopefully with the help of some knitting friends I might have a knit bouquet as well.
So all this homework is really cramping my style. Now that I have class again on Tuesday nights & work on Saturday afternoons I don't even get to meet with my usual S&B at Wild Fibre. Sigh. I know that there's a group that meets on Mondays at the Savannah Mall, but that's only every other week & it seems like something always comes up.
At for least next semester I only need 7 hours to fishish all my requirements. Then it's on to grad school, wherever that may be.

Wedding Updates

OK, so now that I'm engaged, I want to make damn near everything for my wedding. Since I made a garter for my BFF's sister, well, why not make one for myself? I think to myself, "gee real flowers are soo damn expensive & they just die anyway. Artificial flowers are OK, but hey, why not a knitted bouquet?" So now I have a committee of friends from mu S&B group brainstorming about it. And a veil? Well, instead how 'bout a shawl. So that's where I am now. I ordered the cashmere from ColourMart UK, and oh happy day, they goofed & sent me not one, but 2 cones on white laceweight cashmere! The wrote me an e-mail telling me to keep it with their complements! Score!
