Wool & Words

Writing a dissertation is hard.

It's a big project. You always second guess yourself. You always think you haven't read enough--and sometimes you're right. You live in fear of criticism, not because you think you can't be wrong, but because you are certain that you are wrong. And you never feel like you're smart enough to be admitted into the club.

Just thought I'd share.

I'm knitting lots of baby bibs. So if I know you in RL and you've had a baby recently, you may see some bibs coming your way. They are great projects. Bibs and socks, socks and bibs. That's what I'm reduced to, since this project that I'm working on pretty much saps my ability to string a coherent thought together. I've found that I prefer the solid Sugar/Peaches 'n Creme colors to the variegated. I don't mind pooling in my socks, but baby bibs should be, imho, solid punches of color punctuated by well chosen embellishments. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.*

But there is something popping up on the horizon. I want to knit my wedding veil. No, we haven't set a date yet, but I know that I'll have at least 6 months to do it, since we have to do the Catholic six month waiting period once we set the date. So that little project is running around in the back of my head, eating up whatever thinking cells remain.

And if you're itching to read something, I've got another blog at http://www.speaklightning.com. Sparsely updated, but will eventually become a teaching/professional sounding board.

Enjoy your Tuesday!
