Quick Update
June 16th, 2007 | 5 Comments
I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for all the kind words, positive thoughts, and prayers that you guys sent towards me and my family. They must be working, because the latest news from the doctor is that several of my dad’s tumors are shrinking! Yay!
On the knitting front, it’s getting to that point in summer when I pretty much stop knitting because…HOT. I live in a stuffy attic apartment with three large west-facing windows and two well-meaning but highly insufficient air conditioning units. My options for staying cool are basically: live at the office, which has been taken over by hostile, mutant lemons, or sit as still as possible, as far from wool as possible, and try not to sweat too much.
I will post progress photos as there is meaningful progress, but I will also be taking this opportunity to finally post reviews of some of the many, many knitting books I have acquired over the last year. Stay tuned!
Distracted

The view out the airplane window was interesting enough to distract me from my knitting. We were flying over Lake Michigan straight into a fiery sunset. Tiny pinpricks of light began appearing along the coast, their motion revealing familiar landmarks. I-43. Lake Drive. Marquette Interchange.
I stuffed my knitting back into my bag and waited for the landing.
