More Little Socks

Another pair of stash busting baby socks. I just ran out of red for the second sock so the socks are slightly mismatched, but I kind of like them that way. Small imperfections.

One Little Sock

Using up some yarn in my stash that I bought when I lived in the UK. This was a fun and fast knit.

I love love love short row heels. I think that might sway me back to top down socks. Not sure I love the short row toe with zig zag bind off, but it works for baby socks.

10 on 10 June

I can't believe how fast the day went! The 10 on 10 project was super fun.

On the bus, going to work


Working at work.


Office plant with Opabinia


Still working on my coffee


Squirrel tupperware in honor of Malcom, the squirrel that lives outside my office window.



Neat little streams on campus



I... uh... took a nap at lunch and woke up to this.


Afternoon snack time.


So many boxes... so many specimens to catalog


View from the going home bus stop.

Cal Academy

And the last of my San Francisco pics. These are from my two visits to the California Academy of Science. We had a conference mixer in the evening and a tour of the collections a few days later. Really neat place with lots of interesting challenges with respect to managing collections in a LEED certified building located in a park.

Crafting with a Cold



Started working on the back of the scraps quilt. This sucker is going to be huge. Queen Size. And takes up most of my living room floor and it isn't at the required size to fit the top yet. Eek.

I also managed to make a batch of strawberry rhubarb jam in my nyquil infused state. Mmm. Jam.
