The end of spring break...

...but just the beginning of procrastination. I have a bunch of stuff I should really do tonight before re-entering society tomorrow: research for a socialist article, research for a project I'm working on, a problem set for stats, laundry, shower, etc. Instead, I've watched TV and been knitting.

Well, I did have a migraine earlier, and the recovery from one of those suckers can be quite long.

Of course, I did get it because I freaked myself out about having to go back to work (and normal life) tomorrow. So, maybe it's not really an excuse after all.

In any case, I just wanted to sum up my spring break with this:

All my swatches knitted in the last week. This is really impressive given that I really never swatch, ever. They are, from top left to bottom right, the stockinette swatch for Flair (Knitpicks swish on US 7's), a lace swatch for a sweater I'm designing (2 strands of Karabella lace mohair held together on US 4's), the stockinette swatch for Jon's sweater (Knitpicks swish on US 9's), a swatch of the cable motif for Jon's sweater (Knitpicks swish on US 9's), and a lace swatch for Orangina (Alpaca with a Twist Fino on US 3's).

Ok. Back to the grindstone and the real world.
