Have I used that as a title before? Who knows...
Anyhow, I am heading to DC this weekend to watch Smallest perform with her dance company. Yay! She did master the tricky turn and did not get replaced in the piece. Whew! So much drama in a dance company. Ooh! That makes me think about our choir TV show. Maybe there should be a couple, one can sing and the other dances! Twice the drama!
We just found out that her ballroom coach's wife is pregnant, so I suspect there will be a quilt made while Smallest is home this summer. Fun! I will have to knit some cute things too. Fun!
What else...
I'm almost done with the cowl. It is slow, because it takes two rounds to make one row because you knit every other stitch in the row below. I think I am at row 57-ish? I counted Middle's cowl and it was 67 rows, so that's about 20 more rows, plus about six plain knit rows and a bind off. The end is in sight.
I've made some progress on Jeff's sock, but still a ways to go. I really need to do the neck of the sweater for Smallest! Then I can deliver it this weekend. Maybe tonight?
Work is still crazy, and I really get frustrated with the International Office. Alas. The uncertainty in research funding makes things a little bananas too. We're starting to apply for non-federal funding to try to shore things up a bit in case the NSF has trouble.
Other than that, I don't know too much? I'm excited about airplane knitting time this weekend! I've also started thinking about my work meeting this summer (at lovely UIUC, in Urbana-Champaign!) and all the knitting I can do! I'm not in charge of anything, so it's a sit in the back and knit meeting for me. Yay!
Fun fact, Middle's significant other has applied to UIUC for Creative Writing grad school. We are hoping that they'll get in. There's one other place they're waiting to hear from as well. Waitlisted at both schools.
Happy Wednesday!
