I still knit...
...I promise! So today, I left a comment on the Harlot's blog that got
me a personal response via email! So exciting! And then I thought,
"Hm, maybe she went to my blog" and then I realized "Crap! I have
like, no knitting on my blog right now!" That has a lot to do with the
fact that being a grad student doesn't leave a lot of time for
knitting. In fact, almost all my knitting is done on the bus to and
from school. This leads to a bit of a problem, because once projects
get too big or too complicated for the bus, they languish in a sort of
knitting limbo, somewhere between WIPs and UFOs (scroll way down for the definitions) until I can snatch some
time to finish them up, or get them back to bus compatibility. For
example, turning a heel is not too difficult, but requires
concentration which cannot be found on a bus. Once I can get that bit done, I can crank out a foot in
no time, and go from this:
to this:
which will be nice because a pair of socks is infinitely more wearable than just one. Funny how that works...In other knitting news, I found a group here, Red Stick Knits. They
haven't been around too long, and just this semester started getting
together on Tuesday nights. Here some of us are at The Chimes:
Please don't judge anyone based on that picture. For some reason, we
all look dreadful. I was working on my Clapotis...I tried to take
pictures, but they look almost as bad as we do, so I'll save that for a
later date.Lastly, here are some FO sneak previews. Enjoy!

I saw you on the Harlot's website!! I had wondered if you planned on attending even though she was in New Orleans... Hope grad school is going well - the first semester is the hardest (at least that was the propoganda used on me). If you look at Stephanie's post about Seattle, you might see a face you recognize.... I don't know if you remember, but you were the one who turned me on to her blog in the first place. Thanks! Keep in touch! ~ Molly
