Goodbye to Bob Hope....(I guess it's time for him and Crosby to make "The Road to the Pearly Gates" now).

I always enjoyed the "Road movies" (at least the ones I've seen...)

didn't I say this was going to be a rough summer?


On other fronts...

I knit more on the edging for the Trinity Stitch Shawl over the weekend. It's beginning to feel like an endless project.

I knit some on the Regia "Norwegier red" socks while reading textbook chapters.

I worked some on my quilt. I've decided, finally, that I will force myself to do at least a few stitches on it every day in the hopes of eventually getting it finished. (How many weeks does it take to instill a new habit?)

Didn't work on the Whidby socks I started while I was on vacation.

Outside of that, I've got startitis. I'm not sure whether to start a new sweater (what will it be this time? The "Big Easy" all-reverse-stockinette made out of Lion Brand Imagine? The Bobble and Rib Cardigan from the Fall '00 Interweave knits? The cranberry-red Zelda sweater from Mission Falls? I have so much yarn in-stash. I'm going to have to think if knitting pine-green (Imagine), old rose (The CE mohair for the Bobbles and Ribs) or a more intensely colored but smooth wool (the 1824 Wool) appeals to me.

Or, I could start a scarf. I have the scarf pattern I saw in a dream last fall written out, and I have nice cream-colored wool for it. I could dig out that copy of Victoria from last fall and try to figure out how to copy the garter-ribbed grey scarf that was in one of the photoshoots. Or I could wind up the "Popeye" colored "Cartoon" I got dead-cheap on sale and do the triangular-rectangular scarf in Sally Melville's "Knit Stitch" book.

Decisions, decisions.

What I really need to do now is finish writing my syllabi for this fall, and hopefully one or both of the people I need to talk to will come in today....it's like everyone's left town this week.
