The biggest finished project for a while!

June 09, 2005

Haha sorry, I'm talking about my thesis! I handed it in today! This is the result of an entire years work in the lab, and counts for a quarter of my degree - the examiners had better like it!!
But now it's all over (well, I have a 20 minute viva exam in 3 weeks), I can finally get back to my hobbies :)

I am back onto Elspeth, and hope to finish her really soon. She's looking better now I've started doing the picot part of the crochet edging. Here's a close-up:

Pretty! Well I think!
Tomorrow - lots of new yarn!

You totally got me! I was excited for the knitting, but I'm so much more excited for the thesis. Go breathe, crochet, and go out to dinner tonight!
