Dealing with one last desperate phone call from a student. (I should have known).

I'm hoping to get the rest of the samples sorted today and Monday. Then, Tuesday, I get to go for a short visit with my family. I'm already thinking about projects. I will have to take the books for my summer independent-study student and get those finished.

And I have to either finish my mom's socks, or take them with me and try to get them done before her birthday.

But I also want to do a pair of fingerless mitts: I have some very bright Opal Schafpate (it's pink and orange) and I think it would be fun to do the mitts in "Not Just Socks" - the long ones, with the sort of diagonal-lace cuff, if you have that book.

And I might take Honeycomb - poor, neglected Honeycomb - with in the hopes of finding time to work on it.

And probably some stuff for amigurumi. There are a couple patterns I've seen lately that were cute: Roly Poly Cats (And I'm going to do it out of greyish blue yarn, and I printed out the best screen cap I could find of Sushi Cat - so I could make the face like Sushi Cat from that game - and have a little Sushi Cat mascot).

And there's one called Perky Puppy (that's a Ravelry download and you must be a member of Ravelry to view it), but it's very cute: kind of a chihuahua-terrier thing.

Oh, man, do I look forward to having time to just relax.
