Fridays this semester will be FUN!
Yesterday I finished my shawl (for the second time - the first time was in 2010).
Yesterday I finished my shawl (for the second time - the first time was in 2010).
I knit a swatch with the double-knitting technique to test a pattern.
And I got a good start on lengthening Filius's Christmas gansey.
All in ONE sitting. With no snacking. Or distractions. Or anything else of that ilk -- although the head of campus security did stop by to see if there were any spots on campus that Filia could think of which could be tweaked for better accessibility. (They're working on next year's plans, and he wanted her input. The college gets top marks for wanting to be accessible! There was one minor question we had, about getting in a locked-but-oh-so-convenient external door - and within 10 minutes, she had the right hardware to open it.)
Yes, Fridays are the day that I drive Filia to college and then wait until her classes are done to drive her home. I can do shopping in town then, but a minor surgery done just before class made me want to stick around 'just in case' since the last minor surgery of that sort had a wee complication before the day was over. No complications this time, which meant more knitting.
I'm also listening to Little Dorrit on my Kindle, and some Psalms on my iPod - but not at the same time. I just LOVE blank space in my day that cannot be gobbled up by stray dust bunnies, search engines, or random weeds.
How about you? If you had to sit somewhere comfortable for 5 hours or so once a week, what would you do? Go beserk? Bring jogging gear and shun the chair? Nap?

I would bring knitting and a book, or perhaps work on getting back into the habit of writing! (Unfortunately I have not yet worked out how to knit and type at the same time -- and I don't write/think clearly enough to find a dictating program useful...)
The shawl is lovely and I'm intrigued by the double-knitting swatch!
