Question of the Week:

Knitting notebooks - do you have one?  If you do, what kind of notebook do you use?  I like to have a small notebook around at all times for making quick notes or sketching out a pattern, but I don't bother to keep the insides of that notebook very pretty.  I also use the notes app on my phone to jot down knitting reminders.

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.
