I'm sure most people wouldn't think about knitting like a job, and most of the time, I don't either, but I have so much knitting sloshing around in my head that I feel like I need to get some stuff accomplished today. I've been making good progress lately, but I think I need to keep at it.
So first, accomplishments. I finished "seat of my pants" sock #1. But maybe not. I don't know, I'm not wild about the cuff. I may redo it. I originally did a tubular cast-off a la TECHknitting. It was way way too tight. So I pulled it out and did a sewn cast on. But I think the real issue is the ribbing on the cuff. I'll probably pull is back to the beginning of the cuff and start again.
Girl tank: I was too tired to even knit on it through the commercials during Battlestar last night.
(Not a bad episode, by the way, but I didn't think the writing was very good. I did, however, dig Tory and the death at the end. But that better not be the setup for the final cylon, if you know what I mean. They were trying to lead us that way, and I didn't appreciate it.)
I did get a lot of knitting done on it at knit night, though, and as of this morning, it's finished! It needs blocking BADLY. And probably a dye job. The color is so dead. I think I'll do some testing on that.
Today, I need to do some swatching of new yarn, some measuring of swatches already made, some yarn winding, and some cleanup. Yarn and needles are everywhere around here.

You need to update so I have something to distract me from working on things I don't want to work on! :)
Well, I'm almost done with the semester. I can't wait b/c then I'll have more time for knitting. I just finished a pair of socks. I did bad and good. The first sock was kind of an experiment. I had to do two skills I've never done before. Short row shaping w/wraps and kitchener stitch. I also had to figure out exactly how many extra rows I needed b/c the pattern doesn't provide enough for my big feet. Sooooo....my second sock is a lot better. The only down side is that I ran out of yarn so I did the toe part with gray. I don't really care about the colors b/c I'll just be wearing them around my apartment. It was definitely a learning experience.
You are so right, I do need to update. I've been meaning to, but putting it off because of the photo editing. But I'm going to do it!
