Aidan and I just got  back yesterday from a whirlwind trip to Syracuse where we did some seriously exhausting apartment hunting in preparation for our big move in August. We only spent two full days in Syracuse–we even came home a day early–but I have never been so tired and so ready to go home. [...]


Today, I taught my last class at Miami. And I suppose that since I’m going to be on fellowship next year, it will be my last class for a pretty long time. I feel relieved that the end of the semester is nearing, relieved that the end of my MA is nearing, but also a [...]


For the past two weeks, I’ve been meaning to get pictures of the various things that I’ve been working on up here. However, it seems that everyday I’ve had time to stop and take pictures of my knitting, the weather has been shitty. Today is no exception. I have three projects to take pictures of [...]


Look at what I finished:

It’s the back of my Honeycomb Vest, which I completed late last night. I cast on for the front this evening and managed to finish a few rows before I had to get back to work. Since I started, frogged, and restarted this piece, and then later put it on hold [...]


I just finished commenting on my tenth student draft of the day. My brain is officially mush. The depressing part is that I still have eighteen drafts to go. At least I’m more than half way done, right?

For some reason, I look a bit like I don’t know how to dress myself in these pictures. Aidan took these pictures, but he clearly loves me too much to notice when my shirt isn’t on straight. [...]


Last semester was quite busy for me, but I still managed to get a lot of knitting done. In fact, looking over my Ravelry profile, it seems that I managed to knit 5 pairs of socks, 2 hats, a pair of mittens, a Calorimetry, a cardigan, and I did the finishing (seaming, neck band, and [...]


Starting Over

24Aug08

I haven’t been doing much knitting over the last two weeks. I worked a bit on my sweater vest while I was in Wisconsin and worked the foot of a sock while Aidan was in the hospital, but that was pretty much it. But I’ve gained back a lot of knitting momentum over the weekend–mostly [...]


Academic Armor

I’m leaving on Saturday for a week-long trip to Wisconsin for some much-needed family time. Aidan and I had originally planned to drive to Stevens Point, but because of all the stress Aidan is dealing with from class and having to have surgery, he’s decided to sit this trip out. Because Aidan still needs the [...]
