Stressed out?

So if you are a college student, the month of November and December are very stressful (especially if you are in a discipline that writes long papers. How I handle stress is by knitting. For an hour or two I knit and forget about the work I have to do and the stress I am feeling and concentrate on knitting. Not only does it take my mind off of the things that are backing up that I need to do, but it makes me feel productive when I finish something. So if you are stressed out knit, it does wonders!

Here are some patterns I am currently working on:

To blog or not to blog that is the question

So starting a blog seems to be the thing to do. So I decided to start a blog about knitting. I started knitting freshman year of college and am currently the president of my campus's knitting club. Also my last happens to be scarf (it was meant to be).

This blog will contain awesome patterns I find, along with my triumphs and failures in my knitting endeavors. And probably what is going on with the club on campus. I also want to share community service projects tied to knitting (we are involved in a few projects currently on campus).

Enjoy!
