No pics yet today, although it's been an eventful few days.
I mustmustmust remember to take one of the baby blanket to post; it'll force me to work on it some more. I've managed to start turning the heel on my very first grown-up sock, and it's not too bad. All the calculating is getting annoying, since it's a generic sock pattern that is somewhat DIY, but I'm determined that it'll work.
We had a great, albeit unproductive, weekend, both knitting and otherwise. Hub's labmate is from overseas, and her friends visit every year or so - this weekend happens to be 2006's event. We went to a dinner party at her place, which was lovely. Good food, good conversation, good wine.
The problem was, too much wine led to a dinner party that was longer than most of my workdays, and we walked home in the rain as the sun came up.
I guess it's not a problem, so much as an accomplishment - I'm convinced that I'm too old for that sort of stuff ;-)
You'd think that graduate students would theoretically be smart enough to realize that grad school will drive you off the deep end... but somehow, we apply, we do our research, and we keep on plugging.
One of the great mysteries of life.
