Whew!!!

Well, the LSAT is over, and in another 3-4 weeks, I should know my score. It wasn't too bad... but definitely not a fun experience. It was especially painful to be stuck for about 6 hours in a room on the nicest day we've had in months. Ugh. I did talk with my friend in California who also took the LSAT yesterda... we were both pretty drained from it, so I'll call her again tonight so we can really talk. Last night, after the test, I went to my parents' for a little TLC... homemade spaghetti, some chianti, and a trip to baskin robbins. Oh, and a neck/shoulder rub courtesy of my dad. :)

One good thing about the test yesterday- I woke up early (of course!) and, since I was taking the day off anyway, got in some knitting to help keep me calm before I left. And, (of course) I got to the testing center an hour early, so I got some more knitting done! I met another knitter who was taking the test also, but she ran into one of her friends from high school, so I didn't get a chance to talk with her too much. She was very impressed with Dalmore, though... she said all she knits are hats and scarves on size 15 and above needles. I told her it really wasn't as hard as it looked to knit a sweater, and she should go for it, but she didn't really seem that serious.

Speaking of Dalmore, I got through one pattern repeat:



And I'm sure some people will think I'm committing sacrilege by gasp! CHANGING THE COLORS of an AS design, but, frankly, I thought the original colors were pretty ugly. Also, since pretty much NONE of the yarns in Celtic Collection exist anymore, I was going to have to change them anyway! I'm MUCH happier with these gentle greens and blues, and I know my dad will love the colors. I can't really see him in the original colors. And, now that I know my gauge in this yarn over a fair isle pattern, I'll have to make something for myself... there are a few other AS patterns from Celtic Collection that I like, although in general I'm not a huge fan of the garment design. So maybe I'll play around... I think maybe a cardigan is in order, considering I won't be able to wear this yarn against my skin (ah, the joys of a wool allergy), and I think I'll bake if I have to wear a stranded shetland wool sweater OVER a turtleneck or whatever. So I'll let the idea of a cardigan rattle around my head for awhile, and see what I come up with.
