Oops! But now I'm back

Somehow an old photo became the number 1 hit on Google images for a particular NPR voice, and most of my months' bandwidth was gobbled up in three short days. Hopefully that will never happen again. Don't worry, corrective meausres are being taken!

I can't believe it's been a month since I wrote. Here are the knitting updates:

  • A mystery project is complete. More about it at Christmas.

  • The jacket (Accordian) for Alma's baby is just about done. I just need to put in the zipper.

  • I picked up Tangerina again and it's almost done. Just need to sew on two more buttons and weave in a couple ends.

  • I swatched for my moebius shawl, but I need mom to get me some US 10.5 Turbos in some length around 40" or so before I can really get started. The wool is soooo nice.

  • I started a scarf with some yarn from Brooks Field in the Ostrich Plume pattern (Barbara Walker #2, pg. 278 in the old one). The wool is soooooooo nice.

  • And best of all....

    I got premission to knit during group meeting.

    YES!

    Two hours on Monday afternoon. Almost every week. Sometimes there's extra group meeting if we don't finish on time or if people are preparing presentations.

    So I'm knitting a lot of plain ol' stockinette socks. Leg and foot during group meeting, cuffs, heels, and toes during undergrad classes. Grad school may not be so bad after all!

    So where are the photos of these fine objects? Um, I'll take some after my project, papers, and two presentaitons for the end of term are done. Oh, and two finals. And an exam this Saturday.

    In the meantime, I will placate you with pictures of a beautiful blanket that my mom made for a friend's baby. You can see the whole thing, and a close-up of the stitch pattern.

    Maybe Sundae will write the blog for a couple weeks...

    So that's what happened. I missed you!

    Hmm, someone should make a blogring for grad student knitters. I've lost count of how many of those are on my blogroll now. (Of course, probably all the grad student knitters are too busy student-ing or knitting to administer a blogring *grin*)

    I'm glad you're back. Good luck on your test and presentations.
