A 27 year old fourth year medical student who knits (and stories about what it takes to change from a med student into a physican)

My parents always said "remember to look for the wonder in life" and I try to keep that in mind every day. Medicine and the human body fascinate me and frustrate me; there is so much to know and so little time for me to learn it in. I used to say that if all else failed I'd become a recluse and teach yoga in the woods. After being out of practice for a few years and trying to jump back into it, it's evident that I'm going to have to pick something else to fall back on, at least until I regain my flexability. I knit. All the time. No, really. I knit in class, I knit on public transportation, I knit in coffeehouses, while in coversations with people, while watching movies/tv and while studying. They don't let me knit during tests which is too bad; I'd probably have a much higher average if they'd let me. (medstudentwhoknits at yahoo dot com)

My Sonnet wasn't right either. Everything hit in all the wrong places... I ended up taking the sleeves off...making it into a vest. It's wool so I am going to make a "matching" felted bag from the sleeves!!
K_ could you re-seam the shoulders? It looks like maybe a little "give" would relieve the poofing thing, but I can't tell from here.
Maybe a good blocking?
I hope you work it out, since I like the neck the way it sits (weight of sleeves will make it always draw down like that, but I think it's flattering). Good luck with thos babies!
