It's Thursday, someone pass me a coffee!

So this morning, our whole department trooped off on a field trip. We left the office at 9 a.m. and returned about a quarter to noon. In that time there was (a) no coffee, (b) no bathroom breaks, and (c) a stupid amount of climbing up and down stairs. This is, in my universe, an unacceptable way to spend a morning. So now, returned and (somewhat) refreshed by pizza, chocolate cake, and coffee (lunch of champions!), I can tackle into the afternoon's to-do list. I'd rather be napping.

In knit news... well, squares are happening, and I am making progress on the lace scarf sample, though it's slow. I changed from the Heart pattern to the somewhat-simpler Crest of the Wave, but it's a slow grind. And I'm really wondering if it's worth it, because odds are pretty high no one will sign up for the dang lace class anyway. I'd rather be doing something else. Which reminds me, I need to add projects to the list. But - tomorrow is Friday (huzzah!), so let us be happy and enjoy the sunshine. And this last bite of chocolate cake. Yum.

EDIT: Got a note from the class coordinator at the store, need to get the sample in this weekend. Time for more lace knitting.

EDIT #2: You know, half a lace scarf is enough for a sample. If someone signs up for the class, I will finish the scarf, otherwise I will frog it and repurpose the yarn. It's not really my style, though a lovely pattern. What do you think? Note the ever-present charity-blanket square on the right. Computer knitting.

EDIT #3: Ok, picture time! Lots and lots...

This is my Winter 2007/2008 Toque - Patons Shetland Chunky, 84 sts on a 5mm (6mm?) needle, ribbed all the way up. Swirly!

These are the matching mittens (matching, in that I used the same yarn. Not Swirly).
A finished (but pretty unsatisfying) crochet scarf, Lion Brand Homespun. I swear by all the gods, aside from one current WIP, I will NEVER use this blasted yarn again. I hates it.


Cedar's Neckwarmer. Funky neon, perfect for a little boy. I wish I'd taken a shot of the matching mittens, they've got green lightning-bolts around them. Very fun. Mystery yarn.

Safety Baby Hat! You will NEVER lose your baby in a snowbank if they are wearing this hat. Originally intended for charity, this will be going along to some friends who are expecting in the fall.

Yes, I'm turning into one of those knitbloggers who posts pictures of their cat. Here is our Squeeky, very comfortable on top of my socks, which I had spread out on the headboard to warm and dry in the sun. They are now warm, dry, and covered in cat hair. Speaking of that, isn't it amazing how much our Squeeky looks like Laurie's Sobakowa? (scroll down to the January 10 post).

OK that's enough for one day. Now over to Ravelry to update my project page!
