but instead, I’m working on my thesis.  I am forcing myself to finish my thesis proposal today so I can meet with my thesis chair next week to iron out the method and get this puppy submitted to the human subjects board by the very beginning of January at the latest.  I finished my friend’s … Continue reading →

This week I have been knitting.  I probably haven’t made as much progress on my Super Secret project as I need to, but I’ve gotten some other things done.  The SuperBaby sweater is almost finished.  I just need to seam the sleeves.  My eyes were crossing last night after seaming the rest of it and … Continue reading →

So the SuperBaby sweater is all knitted and just needs to be assembled, technically.  Except for the fact that I didn’t realize until I had bound off that one sleeve was a bit too short…like 4 rows short.  How is this possible?  My measuring abilities have clearly failed me.  What to do now?  Part of … Continue reading →

I didn’t think I’d have anything to show you anytime soon since I’m consumed with Christmas gift knitting, but I actually made something I can show you.  Only to realize this morning that the camera batteries are dead and I can’t find the charger.  Isn’t that just how it goes?  Instead, I will rely on … Continue reading →

If you’re still reading, I’m glad to be back with you!  The last couple of months have been my travel season, so they have been crazy. As a college recruiter, I spend my fall going from high school to high school in Texas to tell people my school.  It’s a fun job, but I do … Continue reading →

Well, I’m in El Paso for my last week of being away from home for work for a while. It’s SO nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I don’t have an afternoon obligation today, so I’m chillin’ in my hotel room which I hope will equal knitting time as well … Continue reading →
