YARN:
I have finished a few things.
A couple of charity hats:
and
and a couple more petal dishcloths:

(I really like this pattern. It’s as easy as plain garter stitch but slightly more interesting.)
I also [...]

Tomorrow morning I am stuck in a room with a non-networked computer and told to regurgitate my brain for around 3 hours. The bonus to this time over the first set of these is that this time I get coffee. General exams (the ones where everyone in the department writes the same things) were [...]

So, technically it’s more like 2/3 of the way through summer. Whatever. Here’s the progress on the “To Do” list:
Finish qualifying exams. I have questions approved by my chair but not by the retiring member of the committee. I’m set to write on 8/8 and have oral defense sometime around the first of September. The [...]
