For my next trick

SO. I found a hobby. Re-learning to knit while finishing the dissertation. Makes perfect sense, doesn't it? Why spend the little time you have left at the end of the day reading?? Really. So having finished one scarf and started the next, I've begun looking for ideas for making an iPod cozy. So far, these are the best bunch. I especially like the white furry one. I was thinking of trying to felt one, since I need to try that out sometime, but I wonder if there are scratch issues with wool. And Andrew thinks a window would be cool, but frankly I don't know if I can muster that kind of brain power. I was thinking more of a fold-over flap type thing.

I am more likely to take up sandbag kicking if my dissertation keeps going the way it is right now...

Ow! Don't do it! The best solution seems to be to continue working as if everything were going fine. Often the kinks will work themselves out. And if not, they can sometimes send you in slightly different and better directions...

My kinks take the form of advisors not liking my topic... . I kept working today on my topic ... but god knows if this work is gonna pay off.
