reasons why knitting is not getting done #245

When the weather is so beautiful out,
can you blame me for venturing outside instead of knitting? ^_^

In Oregon, spring weather is so temperamental,
you've got to enjoy the sunshine and summer like weather when you have the chance. :)
We went for a walk out to the Willamette river and looped back through campus to see this gorgeous tulip tree. I don't know exactly what kind of tree it is, but it has huge flowers blooming on it that look like tulips.

20 page paper = procrastination = knitting?!?

Forgive me, I've been reading and writing about nothing but syphilis and prostitutes in early modern Japan for the last 2 weeks. So I have this 20 page essay in this Medical and Social History of Japan class this term. It's worth 40% of my grade for the term...and it is killing me to write it. Did I mention it's due in on Monday?

So instead of writing, I keep taking one hour 20-30 minutes breaks to knit the Earth^2 blanket. There is so much blanket love right now.Instead of keeping with the straight stockinette I had planned (it was boring me to tears) I snitched the waffle stitch from cosmic pluto's amazing Thermal sweater, and added some big waffley stripes!

And back to radio silence until this paper is done!
