A Post About Something Other Than A Sock

Yes indeed, I do knit something other than sock after sock after sock. I finished the first sleeve on Fanasaeter last night:

Baby sleeves are not nearly as painful as adult sleeves, are they?

Today is a landmark day! My employer is buying me a wireless high-speed internet access card and they're delivering it to me at a lunch meeting today. Woo-hoo! They're also encouraging me to use their laptop for all computing purposes, even personal [read:knitting] stuff. They see employees waste too much time trying to do personal stuff on one machine, business on another, etc. I'm also getting a docking station so the laptop functions more like a desktop in a home office setup.

I've got another Excellent Adventure in the works. Next week I'll be heading up to Cody, WY for some pre-proposal meetings on a bunch of work we're going after. I'm having to arrange a bunch of car pooling for the kids to get to sports practices and stuff, but it all seems to be coming together nicely. Not sure about knitting opportunities: I don't think the boss was impressed a couple of months ago when I did some knitting in the car on the way down to La Junta.

Good for you! Don't you love that feeling of hard work paying off and even being visible to others?

And that's a lovely baby sweater. I might be able to handle cables in a baby sweater--I just despise knitting them, don't know exactly why, but am often attracted to them in patterns. Sigh. At least my preferred lace work usually takes less yarn!

Gorgeous sweater.

Kewl about the wi-fi. Some day soon your boss will join the 21st century and the growing body of research that shows people who knit during lectures or discussions are actually listening more attentively than people not similarly occupied.

Heh.
