I finished the bag I knitted today and started felting it in my mom's industrial mixer. My grandmother died today. I started knitting this bag while visiting her. Now it serves as a tangible memory.
God bless Grandma.

I knitted Grandma some little socks because she has sores on her ankles and heels but her feet were cold. I made cookies. I made chicken soup, and she had some from a spoon. This is not easy. I had nightmares last night.

I finished this little outfit today so that my friend, drunken waffle, can use it in a photo shoot she has coming up. I'm looking forward to the time when I can make little things like this for my grandchildren.
Dan came home today. Then my mother came over with a cake that she made during a cooking class she taught. I got to watch all my favorite TV shows again with Dan since he missed them week.

Tonight a friend of mine from work came over to learn how to knit. She was a very good student, and after three hours I had her doing all the basic stitches. It was really fun to get to know someone new out of the work setting.

I making this hat for my friend to use in a photo shoot, and I tried to figure out how to put pink fluff in the ears. This was not the best way to do it. I taught class tonight, and when I came home and had a terrible headache and really needed my evening dose of medicine. It was difficult to get through the day. I didn't even go into work until it was time to teach, and I couldn't find a place to park because there was a basketball game and a baseball game going on. One of my students had to take my car out of a loading zone and move it for me.

Sock progress.
This is the strangest sock recipe... but it looks pretty good on my ankles.
Today I worked on student lab schedules, graded homework, went shopping, got some more wool roving, talked with Aza, and felt perfectly perfect.
I have no pictures from yesterday, but yesterday I gave a workshop in Montgomery for 42 teachers and it went really really well. I felt great and the teachers all seemed engaged and seemed to learn a lot.

I made this red scarf for Drunken Waffle and gave it to her. She wanted a red scarf that wasn't too bulky.
