Don't you hate it when life gets in the way of knitting? My day job has been keeping me insanely busy of late. True confession: I am an admissions director at a NYC nursery school, and this is our season. The time where I select the incoming class for next September. Yes, folks, I judge two-year-olds for a living. I'm not proud, but it pays the rent and keeps me in stitches in more ways than one. Anyway, my current WIP is a Moebius Scarf (I use the Elizabeth Zimmermann "transverse" method--knit a long strip with a removable cast-on, twist once and weave the two ends). In this case, acres and acres of Farrow Rib (behold the Lower 40). A comforting project for a busy time, but s-l-o-w progress. I'm loving the yarn, though--a very soft green confetti worsted gifted by a friend (thanks Caroline) who found it at Rhinebeck Sheep & Wool. Label says "A Touch of Twist", 1286 Weast Road Box 51, Pattersonville, NY 12157.

Ooooh, I bought some luscious alpaca from "A Touch of Twist" at Rhinebeck. Yummy! The stitch looks great, too.
Just out of curiosity, how exactly do you judge whether a 2 year old is "right" for your school? There are some days when I think the only place my 2 year old is "right" for must be the circus sideshow! LOL
splindy--the professional answer: we are looking for kids who are "school ready": able to make transitions without freaking, focus for brief periods of time, use materials appropriately. the real answer: it's all about the shoes. the cuter the shoes, the greater a child's chance of admission. and a hand knit garmet: score!
