first socks...well, sock


I have been making progress on my sock. I am nearly to the ribbing at the top of the sock, and am able to try it on and pretend that I can wear it already. I still have to make another one, but I have hopes that all that I learned on this one will make everything much easier on the second one.

I got back from the most disappointing day at faire yesterday. We went up to Sterling Festival and were poured on by torrential rain of Biblical proportions all day. At least until we decided that it was never going to end and we should just go. At least we were right, it never ended. The only thing that saved us from terrible depression was going to a wonderful Indian food restaurant in Uttica on the way home. The day was not entirely a loss. Oh well, it had to happen sooner or later in my faire experiences.

updates of note and import

Well, Erica has complained that I have not added a blog post in a really long time. Well, that's true. I was busy, then I forgot, then I had nothing to say, and then I forgot my password and didn't want to take the time to reset it. So there... should I find more excuses? No, well, the truth is I just suck at keeping up on these things. But, I said that when I started it, so no surprise there, right?

I have been knitting actually, I have finished three projects while at Glimmerglass, and am working on three more at the moment. In other news, I have accepted a position in Williamstown, MA, and am moving there by the end of August. I am happy to have found a job after graduating with a degree and all, and am also happy to be heading back up north, where knitting is of more use to me. I have a whole set of warm weather gear planned. Now, if only I had yarn for the patterns I like and patterns for the yarn I have, I would be doing great.
