Little things…

I am a hopeless blogger, almost a week since last entry despite my constant attempts to write something. Well, I had a pretty busy week this week: met my supervisor, went to all of the induction parts (more to come during next two weeks), and met lots and lots of people! Oh and finally, yesterday I went through matriculation ceremony, becoming a proper Cambridge student (and it wasn’t as scary as it sounds)

On the knitting front: I have a very small FO, one new sock and completed back, front and half of one sleeve of Highgate.



Model: Colorimetry from Knitty Winter 2006
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cathay (less then one ball, about ½, left from Mimosa)
Needles: 4.00mm

I love Gansey sock (sock 1)

Moving on

I am back! I know it’s been a while but I just got so busy with my Dissertation writing, moving to a different city, flat cleaning, unpacking… In the process I’ve lost weight, quite a bit of hair, peace. I’ve gained insomnia, a couple of grey hair, hatred for flow cytometry analysis, and hopefully an MSc in Medical Genetics with Cancer Research (the board meeting is in December). Just for the record, if you not sure whether you want to do a Masters, think again, because you have to want it (and I am so not ready to start my PhD in less than 2 weeks time, I am just so TIRED).

With all of this going on, there has been absolutely no knitting. And now I am obsessed about that fact and feel like knitting for 24hrs (not good, I need to sleep). So, I guess there would be some action here. Stay tuned. Oh, and before I go, I’ll show you the top I’ve knitted back in July (before I’ve lost some weight)
