May 10, 2016

Links to things I mentioned:

Question of the Week

Got any audiobook suggestions?  Right now at work it's tough for me to watch video podcast so I've been gobbling through audio ones, but I'm running out of back episodes.  I prefer fast-paced murder mystery thrillers, but even if it's not that genre let us know if there's a book you've enjoyed recently.

Sometimes, I take pictures of things...

Just finished my first pair of “work socks” here in AL! These have lived in my desk drawer since the start of the year and I get a few rows done when I’m in meetings or debugging code. The stripes matching up after the gusset was 10
Spherical farm animals found in the wild!
New podcast is up! Wherein I only talk about ~one~ project and why I’m going to shift my focus to being a very monogamous knitter for a while. Curious? Links to everywhere you can find it are in my profile. :-)
The body is finished! I kitchenered all 221 stitches of ribbing to the bottom because apparently I hate myself *a lot* but I really like how clean the bottom edge looks.
