Aside from looking for a new gig, I have been logging in some serious hours in front of the television--escaping into the drama of fictional people really takes the edge off of my real-life issues. And you know I can't watch tv unless I'm doing something else at the same time. Like knitting. Here are a few of my latest projects, which took SO much longer to complete than I had anticipated:
Baby booties on the fly for an impromptu shower that unfortunately didn't happen.
I'm also doing a few other projects that are either a) not completely finished yet b) going to be received by someone who reads this blog c) already given away without my having taken a picture.
I think I need to take a break because my arms really have been hurting lately. So perhaps there will be more posts up here soon. Stay tuned!

You are amazing! Those are so beautiful! I'm seriously impressed. How long have you been at this knitting thing?
I LOVE that sweater! Absolutely beautiful. I prefer black, though (hint hint).
So you want to trade in your knitters elbow for some good old fashioned carpul tunnel syndrome? Best of luck to you.
How many words did I misspell in this comment?
Awesome! I want to learn to knit. It's on my To Do List for when I finish this stinkin' PhD thing.
Holy cow, those look great! You're so crafty! Let's do an exchange!
I love that baby blanket! I need to get back into knitting. It's so fun.

Wow. Um. Wow. I crochet -- remind me to never ever show you anything I've made when you guys visit ;) (Sara)
Wow! So talented! I can't even sew on a button. Those booties are adorable, I'll take a pair in size 8.5 please.
I would like to place an order for a pair of the booties and matching sweater and hat. Where can I order more cadiz originals?
Teej: thanks! i learned from my grandmother when i was a kid, but have picked it back up in the last couple of years. like riding a bike!

I might buy the booties if you're not using them for nim's baby (shhh don't tell her) ;)
So, so, so very cute. Those things would sell, y'know. In baby stores. Well, okay, after the recession's done [by the end of this year, bet you!]
