Back to School Cool

Well its back to school for me! I had my second class tonight and decided to drop my extra 5th class. It feels good to cut myself some slack! I just have to figure out how to return my two books since I bought them online at Barnes and Nobles...
It has been bitterly cold here the past three days, we had that front come in, but unfortunately we did not get any snow and didn't get to skip out on work or school today :(
I've been knitting away at clapotis and am almost done with her, here is a picture I took Sunday afternoon before I got to the decrease rows.


Floyd has claimed clapotis for himself as you can see!




But how can you resist this face?


I got my yarn in the mail from Elann today for the socks I'm planning to start once I get clapotis done. I've decided this year that I'm going to try and have no more than three projects going at once. Usually I can start 4 or 5 things at once but then it takes forever to finish any one of them. So I've come up with a list of knitting goals for the new year I know its a bit late, but I wanted to prioritize the projects I have really wanted to make. Hopefully I will get through all of these, two at a time!
Leo
Rogue
Audrey
Tempting
Belle Epoque
Socks Socks and more Socks
Handwarmers from SnBN

I'll keep adding to this list as I think of other projects I want to start. I don't have much of a stash so I don't have to worry about yarn dieting. I'm more in the starving knitter category, wish I could afford a large stash, but I'm a poor grad student and can't really afford to splurge on non-project yarn. One day...
In fact, I think part of the reason I'm getting my master's is to be able to buy more yarn. That's the plan for now at least!
