Congratulations on surviving exams so far! AS levels are truly horrible, there are so many of them... And it's definitely better to take some time off; working all the time is not good for your health.

Ooh, scarf sounds exciting. I miss knitting, haven't got around to buying wool. What does it look like? Huge scarves are especially cool - I have a friend who has a scarf that's about seven feet long and two foot wide. She calls it the Beast. It is very very cosy.
