Ah, the rain continues
I think we're now on day #24 of consequtive days with rain. If I read correctly, we're now tied for the 3rd longest rainy streak in our area's history.

The rain isn't so bad if I don't actually have to go out into it. It really sucks when I have to evade, elude and dodge the other drivers though.

Knitting Update
On row 109 of the poncho. I've been remarkably project-monogomous to this one in an attempt to force myself to have no more than 2 projects going at a time. Mind you that's KNITTING projects, jewelry and other types don't count! -
Well, rats, back to my Real Job (tm) tomorrow
At least back to the office and attempting to unpack my boxes and figure out what the move folks have managed to lose or mess up this time. Every time I move I think I spend the two days prior and the two days after getting no real work done. This time I was actually moved 2 weeks ago but was on vacation so we'll see what I find! I think I'll ( Read more... ) -

The Yarn Medusa
I'm still working on the poncho I started. This uses Lion Brand's Suede yarn and is quite lovely (http://cache.lionbrand.com/patterns/klsu-desertPoncho.html). This is by far the largest and most intricate knitting project I've attempted to date ( Read more... ) -
