Two rows of the Divine orange milk chocolate, two thirds (so far) of the Cocoa Camino caramel crunch, and one square of the Denman Island holy mole (fiery!).
TV: CSI NY, Criminal Minds, and Bones (taped, I didn't get home until after 8:30). I also caught the first half of The Daily Show before I turned the TV off.
Knitting: I finished the tip of the thumb on the thrummed mittens I'm making for a neighbour-friend... she saw mine just before Christmas.
Awesome timing, I know. She's old, but in good health. Hopefully she'll get several seasons of wearing out of these.
After weaving in the last two ends on the mittens, I started the toque I'm making for my brother as a birthday present:
It's Trilobite, from Knitty. I bought the yarn in December or January. His birthday was in early April. Awesome timing with this too, huh? At least I'll be able to slip the ribbing onto a circular needle cable, so he can test the size before he heads off to California for the summer.
Oh... and while waiting for the bus on my way home, I wove in the last end of the sweater I've been working on for ages. I present two bad timer photos, without and with flash:
Perhaps I'll find someone to point my camera at me tomorrow in better light.
Now the question is, do I go for eight hours of sleep, or an all-night marking session? (If someone has a spare time-turner they can loan me, I'd love to do both.) Late night marking doesn't produce good progress (ask me how I know), but it's half the problem that's making me feel like crap. (The other half is the reviews that just came back from the fall course.)
On the up-side for today: I helped two students with their problems, and they were both appreciative, and think I'm awesome. (Too bad that's a half-time, temporary, dead-end job.)

mmmmmm chocolate
I have a 3 pack of ferrero chocolates waiting for me in my purse :)
this winter I swear I am going to learn to knit! I tried this past winter and failed horribly. A tangled mess of yarn is all I made. I need to separate the wine from the knitting lessons..
youe hand knit stuff is great :)
You should join a knitting group! We'd help you out. :) (The main group I'm in meets twice a month... once at McNally and once at Chapters. Let me know if you want details.)
A glass of wine can help tight knitters loosen up, but too much can be a problem! (Friends don't let friends knit drunk... especially lace!)
Thanks! >)
I'll take you up on that during the fall or winter!! :)
My friend Sherry tried to show me and either she was a bad teacher or I was too drunk to knit.
Cool! (Apparently I was too sleep-drunk to hit "publish" on this earlier... I thought I had.)
