In a waking earth

It is nice to see spring return at last!  The windows in my room are thrust open, welcoming both breeze and sun to pour in, as well as the chatter of excited birds.  My attempt at completing homework is lagging, but when the weather spoils you with such warm days in April, how can you fight the temptation?

The beautiful weather does wake my creativity, though.  Honestly, I feel like an unproductive mess, considering that last semester, one of the worst semesters of my college life, I was able to make two sweaters.  Yes, I made two.  One was made for me, and another was made for my dear brother.  This semester (way easier, by far), I have made NONE.  I only started a sweater:

I began and stopped working on this sweater in February.  I wanted it done in April (or May at the latest), and I can say with certainty that it is NOT going to happen.  Little knitting will be done from now until the end of the semester.

Actually, I wonder if I will even post again before graduation...?  My time may not allow!

It is funny to think that this blog, though not dedicated to my college life by any means, has only existed during my time at college.  That is four years--four long years of knitting and publishing about my knitting and dreaming big dreams about my knitting.

There are large differences between what I thought and knew then and what I think and understand now.  I mean this in reference to knitting...but also in everything else in life.  I find myself smiling and shaking my head pretty often at the memories of my young and inexperienced self.  I have long since decided that it is nice to be where I am, changing and growing.

But, I have to admit, it is certainly amazing that college finally will draw to a close.  Four years is a very long time, and yet it is not that long at all.  So many things are still ahead, but there were many nice memories to dwell on.

But some things won't change:  this summer will be full of new knitting projects!
