Wet in the Rain

I rode home from school in a lovely Colorado afternoon thunderstorm. I was completely drenched by the end (well, long before the end), but it was worth it. It's still raining. Perfect weather for curling up with some nice yarn, but instead I needed to do some preparation for my "microteaching" of chemistry tomorrow. I finished that up, but no time to knit tonight.

I did get a little knitting done during the last few days, however. There have been some pretty boring little lectures (and some good ones, too!) which required minimal note-taking, so I've been working on the seed stitch jacket. I'm about ready to do whatever step 2 is, but I don't have the book, so I've had to ask mom to look it up for me. If there's too much shaping, I'll have to give it up during the talks, but for now it's been nice to have something to do with my hands. I'd like to work on Tangerina, but it's so much bulkier that I think it would be distracting during class/teaching. Especially since it's on two circs, it takes a lot more manipulation every half-row.

Maybe it's time to dig up some simple socks that just need stockinette! I don't want to start anything new right now, though, so I guess I'll just stick to my little seed stitch.

Sorry there's not a better update. I feel like school's kept me busy and there hasn't been interesting knitting for a while. But don't you worry; I'm still pluggin' along.
