Does Anyone Else Feel Like It's Thursday?

I'm barely into the week, yet I still feel like I haven't posted in at least seven days! Maybe my knit-picky (pun most certainly intended) self is beginning to make sure I post more by making time go faster.
Hey, I'm not complaining!

I have been knitting up a storm, which might account for feeling like every second is a minute....


I have successfully completed yet another pair of socks:
These are for Mom, but are on my feet, which explains why they might look a tad stretched.
It took me several tries to get the foot to be the right length; I am happy that they are finally done!

Now, it's on to Dad's socks!
He has a 11 inch foot--I'll be knitting for a while, although not as long as I thought I would be:

I've done all of this today, and I'll probably be doing a lot more tomorrow, as I have a Spanish test that I'm a tad worried about.

Aaaand spinning progress:
Getting closer! I might be able to achieve my goal of getting all of the spinning done by February!

Who Knows About Hydrocarbons? Raise Your Hand!

That's what my science quiz tomorrow is about, so this is going to be quick--
Nothing new on the blanket front, but I did get some knitting done!
Ta Daaaa!
Bye-and if you didn't notice, the January 12th post was published yesterday....that one is a whole lot longer and has a whole lot more pictures!

I Can't Talk Now...

I have finals tomorrow!

I'm Baaaack!

And hopefully, I'll post more often in the future.
Thanks for your encouragement; I got good grades on all but one midterm, and the bad one didn't even knock me down a grade level, so I'm good and happy.
I have not one, not two, but two and a half, count 'em, two and a half, pairs of socks.
The socks I made from yarn I got from Ch
ristmas from a friend:They have afterthought heels, which I won't be doing again any time soon, but it was fun.
These are for me:
A little big, but they are comfortable.
Currently, I'm knitting my mom's present.
See? I already have a sock done!
...and a quarter!
I got a $25 ebay gift card, which I hope (since the money goes through paypal) that I can use on etsy to get sock yarn for my friends' presents, and white yarn for a surprise (for you guys) project.
I am also getting some progress on my blanket:
This is the second third, FINISHED!!

And this is how far I am on the 3rd third.
I'm crossing my fingers on getting all of the spinning done by the end of the month.
Hopefully sometime next week I'll have some information about my brother and his recent introduction to the spinning world. (!!)
