Still alive...

I'm still alive! I'm preparing for my dissertation defense and have traveled home to Maryland to do so. I've gotten a LOT of knitting and crocheting done so I'll have to post pics sometime this week.

/sigh ... my poor mother

This is the kind of morning we've been having:


I'm trying to teach my mom to knit and she decided to re-roll her yarn into a ball before startng her project... In doing so, she ended up with a ginormous knot... Know what I'm doing all day, lol.
