Happy Things:

1. This photo of my skein of Twisted Sisters yarn bought on absolute sale and modeled in my lucky tooth mug (won at a guess-how-many-teeth-on-the-table contest in my Dental Anthropology course) was chosen as one of the Ravelry images for the Avarice. As an amateur photographer who has a hit to miss ratio of about 1:24, getting Ravelry’s seal of approval is pretty fabulous.

2. The weather has gone from bearable to nippy. Sweater season!!!

3. I am knitting Stella a Jaunty Sweater. This has been on my to-do list since last winter, and so far so good. I don’t have a pattern, so I just started at the neck and am making it up as I go along. Stella has been very good about fittings, with one exception: when I go to take the sweater off, she tries to nibble on the needles.

Less Happy Things:

I have thirteen days to finish two rawther involved projects and miscellaneous busywork. Time to get Panic Switch cranking.
