Starting up again

Today I finished off a baby sweater I had been making for my co-worker Amanda (Rav link). She and her hubby want to be surprised on July 8, in terms of the baby's gender, so I tried to make sure it was pretty neutral. I wrapped it up and brought it down to the softball field to give to her, because her husband was playing with his local team very close to the building where I'm living. It was cute, and I felt distinctly like a suburban soccer-mom type. Working in a real eye doctor's office for the summer has done a lot for making this 19-year-old feel a bit more like an adult.

Of all the projects I mentioned in the most recent real post (nearly a year ago), I finished zero of them. School is not amenable to getting knitting done. I'm currently working on some Pomatomus socks (Rav link) but I'm concerned about the gauge, they might end up a bit small for me. I'm conflicted, since I love the pattern and the yarn--I don't want to ruin the allure of either. But I also don't want to rip out a nearly-whole sock. Any suggestions???

I have gotten so into Ravelry and knitting this summer, including the Starbucks and Yarn swap (hello fellow *buxers!) so I wanted to really get into the blogging thing too. I read so many blogs that I feel I should give back to the 'sphere.
