and a moment in time and space

I finally found a moment by the grace of the graduate school fairies to break my sock virginity :) I am now in the midst of my first toe up sock. The plan is to have the first one done so I can take the second one on the plane to San Diego in November for my thesis poster at ASHA.

I searched a bit online for yarn stores in San Diego and posted on a san diego ravelry thread, and I am already getting a great impression of that city- another poster from there actually offered to take me to a few stores while i'm there! of course, I don't know if that will work out, but the gesture itself was really nice.

I really hope to post some pictures of some things soon.  I am already running about 8 hours short of what I need in a day. Some day, my camera will meet my blog. Some...day.


On another note.... possible underwater photoshoot end of october. This could be fabulous.

it's magic

well this was a stressful week. Good thing knitting is brilliant to chill the limbic system. 

got the hang of a much wanted technique whilst beginning my...first fall sweater! Magic loop, I think we are going to make friends.

It's a good thing I have so many things to distract myself from frustrating thesis committees. it's a bad thing I have so many things to distract myself from frustrating thesis committees.
