i ripped out the front of the shirt the other day when i realised i had no idea what i was doing and came up with a new plan doing the front in 2 parts each based on the multidirectional scarf so it will still be triangly and hopefully ribbons will still fit themselves in somehow. the only hard thing was binding off for the arms so far.

today....well, tomorrow's the last day for students to move out of the dorm....what this means on floor 5 is hideous hideous smells as rooms where students have been living are suddenly aired out.
i was hoping to move [very quickly and efficiently] today but the person still hasn't moved out of the room i'm moving into and thus i can't move in because there is no key and a person in my bed. i guess i'll check after my laundry but i think i'll just wait til tomorrow morning now as that way i can maybe work an extra hour. unless there's no work today in which case i'll move today hopefully. man, i have no idea.
meanwhile, my retro task of the day is transferring my casettes to mp3 format for my train trip on sunday.
also meanwhile, my ex-thingy was supposed to have left on tuesday and i was ever so happy on tuesday but the airline screwed up so much that i'm stuck in the same city as her for 2 more weeks! agh! lucky thing i'm going to brno.
and it looks like i might have enough room in my suitcase to knit myself a cat.
and the last complicated scarf reached my friend. and i mailed my first box of yarn to my parents' house the other day. it will be a race to see who/what gets there first.

am working on this sleeveless shirt as per my traditions of post-heartbreak AND exam session knitting [according to the first, it will have stripes and according to the second i must finish it in time to wear it to the oral exam! you know.....for when i run out of things to say].
i've started organising my stuff for various future moves.
the front of the shirt is starting from the corner and worked diagonally. i had no idea how to calculate it but the back was 66 sts. across and 66 rows until binding off for the sleeves and it just turned out that by the time it was time to deal with sleeves on the front it was 66 sts. along the um.....hypoteneuse! thus causing me to be very excited about math.
i have to mail my yarn to my parents as it's vastly exceeded my suitcase.

didn't knit for the whole week after she left. quite odd. then had a rampant burst and hurt my wrist finishing complicated scarf part 3.
it's pallette from knitty but with dinky needles, the yarn is Elian Lusy, a czech brand. i think it's 4-ply. i can't remember how long it took but it seemed long.

now i'm working on a sleeveless top, not sure what the front will be like but i've done most of the back in a couple days because it's very very straightforward after all the complicated scarves.
