Progress on Gansey


I did not knit for this for quite a time. Yesterday I worked a bit on the sleeve. There is something wrong with the neckband. Its way more too tight for my brother, since Vincent has big and smart head =). Well I will rework the neckband after I finish the sleeves.

It's my first "cable without a cable needle" project. I love it!

My Dorm & My crochet stuff

The chair -> where I sit for hours and hours everyday.



See the two old books in the middle ? It's called Dream of the Red Mansion (Hong Lou Meng)... the most famous novel in Chinese literature... I read it almost everyday... over and over again since Grade Six... but still, I discover something new every time I read it... ...

See how I insert knitting into academic work?


Alas! I don't know what's wrong with me after the reading week. My academic performance is getting worse and worse! Yesterday's computer science midterm made me sick. I was definitely not confident about every single question I did! Today, ece lab disgusts me too. I've lost all my confidence in Engineering Science...
Finals are coming. Hope I will do better.

My wrap, almost...





How is knitting related to cellular machinery?

pattern = DNA

my brain = mRNA

my hands = tRNA

yarn = amino acids

knitting needles = rRNA

the finished work = protein

Last week was a week of biology! I had my 30% bio midtern on Friday. Lesson learned: it's really tough for a girl who had never learned bio in high school to catch up all the stuff in just one week!

Last week was also a week of Linear Algebra. I had my 20% midtern on tuesday ... spaning sets, basis, linearly independent, column spaces, row spaces...

... and I believe knitting and linear algebra is linearly independent.

Looking forward... Next week will be a week of Computer Science and Thermodynamics...
