Other than this, it was a busy day - gave an exam (which is where I almost doubled the size of the ribbing on it), taught a lab under difficult conditions, did a bunch of prep for next week, graded the exams, and then had an evening meeting in the church with broken heat. (I'm still cold and I hurt from having been cold so much of the day).
But the ribbing on the new sweater is shaping up
I think I have a bit less than an inch to go before changing to the stockinette and cabled part for the body. You knit it in the round like this up to the armholes, and then divide and knit the top parts of the front and back back and forth.
I also realized what bugs me a bit about "Double Negative," and it's the same thing that bugged me about "Office Space" - none of the characters seem to have inner lives. No one seems to have a hobby (other than, I guess, drinking or "conquests" by the single men), no one seems to read for pleasure. It's just all very surface and I think that's why I find the characters unsympathetic.
I think next I'm going to start the Granny Weatherwax arc of the Pratchett novels; I have a copy of Equal Rites, which I think is the first, and also Wyrd Sisters. I think I need something kind of funny and "human" to read during these times.
