No knitting with 2 weeks to go

I appreciate that there's only 2 weeks to go until my finals and that I have to focus all of my time and energy on revision but I'm missing my knitting loads :( Yesterday, I had to give in to the withdrawals and knitted a round (only 1) of my sock. I keep visiting the Angel Yarns knitting forum to lessen the 'urges' and I've even signed up for a fingerless mitt swap!!!!

I'm really excited about the swap. It'll be my first! I've only done 1 pair of Fetchings, so I hope that the mitts turn out OK. I've already found a pattern (secret for now) and ordered the yarn online. I'm sticking with Debbie Bliss Casmerino Aran. I've used it for the Fetchings, so I can't go wrong with it. The closing date for the sign up is 2moro and I think the mitts need to be sent of by the 17th (or is that reach by the 17th??) Plenty of time post exams to knit the mitts up. Have to say was umming and ahhing a little (not too much) but the lovely ladies from the forum twisted my arm - yes, yes it didn't take much :)

OK, OK I've had my break I'd better hit the books again. I just wish things were sticking. Wish me luck...
