I gave an exam this morning and working away on the current Clapotis while invigilating it, I realized I will need to think of some kind of exam-invigilating project for finals.

I anticipate that I will finish the "simple socks" for my mom this weekend - I have a fair amount of reading to do (I want to read through the books I'm assigning to my summer Population Biology student - I've read them already but it was a few years ago so I need to review, and I can knit on the socks while I read). I may even finish the "simple socks" for me that are on the needles. And the Retro-Rib socks, I find they require sufficient attention that knitting while invigilating would be a good way to make a mistake.

Clapotis is on the downslope to being finished. It might have enough work left on it for one two-hour exam, but then again, if I take a notion to finish it while relaxing and watching tv in the coming week...

Honeycomb takes way too much attention, and Thermal is close to a dividing point that would require more attention than I can give while invigilating.

I'm actually considering starting something totally new - either doing another one of those Lace Ribbon Scarves from Knitty. I have some pink and brown variegated fingering-weight (and I bought more of it, so I can make a long, long scarf, like the one shown) or else starting the Burma Rings pullover from the old Interweave Knits issue. (I have the yarn for that in stash).

Part of me says: no, you should not start another "big" project before finishing the other "big" projects you have going, but another part of me likes the idea of having something new to start on. (The possible downside of Burma Rings would be that I'd have to swatch it first, just to be sure....with a lace scarf, gauge isn't quite so much an issue).

I also have another SitCom Chic's worth of yarn in my stash, in a really bright strong purplish pink. I'll have to think about it this weekend and figure out what would be good to start. (If I decide to start something new)
