What's Going On
Current Events
For the record, it's going to take an awful lot for me to talk about what's happening in the world right now. If I inadvertently blurt out something in cyberspace in a fit of pique, please forgive me.
Knitting
Knitting is happening. I'm going to figure out the Pippi conversion before bed tonight and cast on for the ribbing. When that gets too crazy (as knitting on Size 0 dpns can get), I'll switch to the baby blanket, which is coming along nicely. Of course, there's Colin's Scarf, and now the GA Tech clogs to work on too. And that Prayer Shawl to finish. Perhaps one of my Lenten promises should be to finish all of these projects before Easter...and start on some others!
I have to register a knitting gripe, though. I am really done with Crystal Palace Bamboo circs. The metal join makes me mental! Give me a good ol' pair of Clovers anyday, or, gasp and swoon, a pair of Addi Turbos. That makes 'Nita a happy girl.
Reading
Getting books read makes me feel good too. I've slowed down a bit since I've got classes to teach, meetings to attend, and general "work week" business, but I'm plugging away. Reading Ford Maddox Ford's The Good Soldier now. Just started, and I don't think there'll be a knitter in sight. But I can dream...
If you have any interest at all in the future of computing and what our lives might look like AND if you can stomach a bit of academic discourse, I highly recommend N. Katherine Hayles's How We Became Posthuman. That's good reading.
