Some Actual Knitting

Well, more like knitting-related.

My parents got back from Germany and Mom got all the girls (me, my sisters, my daughter, my nieces) some chenille scarf yarn:

Mine is the denim blue, my daughter's is the purpley-pink.

Also, here is my progress this week on the second Ringel sock:

I was able to knit during one half-time of one soccer game.

Lots of changes to report in Knitabit Land. Perhaps the constellations are about to align such that regular knitting can once again resume. Remember the big trip to Wyoming? It was to attend a series of pre-proposal meetings for six projects up there. I spent the month of March furiously writing proposals. The month of April was spent recovering from furiously writing proposals. Last week, we made a series of interview presentations before the Wyoming Water Development Commission. On Friday, we were the highest-ranked firm on five of the six and were awarded FOUR contracts - all for work in the Cody area. They didn't give us the fifth one because they didn't want so much work to go to an out-of-state firm. We've also been tentatively awarded another project in Morgan County, Colorado. That's lots of fun actual engineering work for me during the next 12 months!

We will get formal Notice to Proceed on June 15, so I've got between now and then to get some other projects out the door.

Also, at last Monday's DARCA board meeting, I officially stepped down as Executive Director and am now serving on the Board of Directors. So I turned a low-paying part-time job into a once-a-quarter board meeting. That feels good.
