Knitting? What knitting?

Ok so I lied. I'm posting a little earlier than I said I would, but I needed a break from studying Chem. Seriously.

I realize that I have not posted any knitting in quite some time (specifically since the end of September). And the reason is I haven't really had much time to knit, with juggling work and school. Plus, I've been on dyeing and spinning kicks lately, so when I do have time, I'm doing those.

But to prove that I HAVE been knitting (just not a lot):
My first FT clog. I'm making a pair for my sister's birthday - I hope I can finish them by Thanksgiving when I see her!
My Gryffindor scarf - I'm about halfway finished. It is sooo thick. I think I coulda made a sweater out of the amount of yarn I'm using for this scarf!

Reminds me of ketchup and mustard. Yum, I kind of want a burger now.





By the way, I finally received my drum carder. I had to send it to my parents' house since I can never pick up UPS/Fedex/USPS packages. It arrived at my parents' last Friday, but due to said studying, I didn't get it till yesterday. I had no idea the drum carder would be so big. If this is a "petite", the normal sized ones must be gigundo! I carded some bright neon merino roving I had dyed a while back...

I must say, the carder blends the colors really well. And the resulting batts are very light and airy, so should be very easy to spin.

And if bright yellow and pink ain't your cup of tea, enjoy the new colorway I dyed up last week.
O yes, and also enjoy the Lorna's Laces I couldn't resist ordering while buying some Noro Cash Iroha for my SP9. This is my first LL, and I just love that Bittersweet colorway! This will become some pretty socks, since I can't afford the 3 skeins of Lion and Lamb for a Clapotis.

And lastly, Nermal being silly again.
I think you're a tad too big for that box, Nermal. Just a tad.

Of course, my opinion didn't stop him from curling up and taking a nap in that box. Hilarious cat had me cracking up for a few minutes. Totally reminded me of something I had seen on Cute Overload a couple of weeks back. Hee hee.

Back to studying. My sister sent me link of best jobs in the U.S. Physician assistant is #5 in best jobs, and #1 in fastest growing fields! Gotta remember the big picture when I'm trying to get through classes (especially Chem).
