Knitting and coughing.

While I've been busy hacking and sneezing and consuming too many boxes of tissues, I have been productive with my knitting during these past 2 weeks. First, I finished a hat for my French tutor. She chose the color of the yarn. I gave it to her today after apologizing for not doing any of my homework while I've been sick. I'm such a bad student.
Then this was a project I started in April. I unraveled the entire thing and reknit it. No complaints here since I love knitting on circulars. I wore it last night for the first time and it was cozy.
BTW, I'm going to the doctor today...finally. Not a fan of this particular doctor because most of my phone calls with him consist of this:

Him: Hello. Please hold.
Me: Hel... (he cutting me off by putting me on hold)
After a minute of me listening to some terrible music...
Him: Hello.
Me: Hi, this is Emily H.
Him: Yes?
Me: I've been sick for 2 weeks. Is it possible for me to make an appointment with you this afternoon?
Him: Yes. 17:15.
Me: OK. 17:15.
Him: Yes, 17:15. Good-bye.
Me: Thank you. Good... (he cutting me off by hanging up)

I don't think this doctor's a keeper.

Um, I *LOVE* that cape! Reminds me of a favorite JCrew sweater I used to borrow all the time from a college roommate.

Love the hat too, but I'd definitely ask you to borrow that cape all the time if I were your roommate ;)

Wow, I love that shrug/shawl thing! Oooh, I want to make one like it out of a super-soft creamy angora-y yarn (with that soft-focus fuzziness) and stay in it all winter!

So, how do I do that? :)
