Snow Day!
****But first... HAPPY 23rd Birthday, Kar-baby! Enjoy the Big Day in the Big Apple!****
Now back to our regularly scheduled posting...
College was cancelled today because of massive amounts of snow! Yay! (To both news items - snow for skiing and a day without classes... what more could a tired adjunct in Vermont want?)
Of course, I still haven't gotten a passport picture taken, though I did pick up the form, and it's all filled out and ready to go. My errand time has been sucked up the last week or so by the Craft Night event I organized for this past Monday. I had to make flyers and get the student women to put them up, send out campus-wide emails, make a 4 foot by 6 foot banner to hang in the theater lobby, shop for supplies, harrass the staff and faculty women for additional supplies and money, and ultimately show up for two hours to help people learn knitting basics.
The event was really fun though - people who had to leave early seemed very sad about it. Students painted unfinished wooden picture frames and door hangers (the flat rectangular type that has a round hole for hanging from a doorknob), while others learned to crochet or knit. And now I have a list of ten names of people who want to start up a stitch'n'bitch group on campus. My next project...
So I am going to enjoy my snow day. I'm going to knit and read and play on the computer and not worry about anything school related.

Got any good "beginner" sock patterns?
Sue-
Check Knitty.com - search for sock patterns - they had a very good basic sock in the summer issue I think.
Also - the "coffeeshop" is full of helpful people - if you post a request like that, at least 10 people will answer within the day.
