My town is having an interesting year- Superbowl, the Stanley Cup and the G-20.
The school year is coming to a close and I am picking up knitting (again) - and this time I think it will stick, if I keep doing it fairly often. I've become a pro at casting on (in my eyes anyhow) and am focusing on keeping the number of rows, and the tension constant. Then I will begin making socks.
Between knitting, family events, and dreams, I've been thinking of my mother a bit more often these days.
I've got a number of biking adventures coming up, including friends and family. I've been reading like mad to keep up with my students, and there will be a grading frenzy as I prepare to grade finals and all the late work students turn in at the last minute. Work can still be a source of frustration, but is much more often a source of joy or accomplishment. My mother would have enjoyed watching my progression through this year.

For socks, silvers sock class is awesome, just google it and you get a free lesson on how :-)
Thanks. Now I just have to get the hang of pearling (purling?).
I was just searching for this info for some time. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your website. I wonder what's the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this type of informative sites in top of the list. Usually the top websites are full of garbage.
But they would never do that.
