It’s *THAT* Time of Year

As my time working on final deliverables increases, the less work I seem to actually be getting done.

Normally on these blog posts, I tell you about something I read or insight I found while knitting. The fact is that at this point I am spending more time trying to synthesize that stuff for my final deliverables than I am here.

So while I push through these final weeks and write the first two chapters of my dissertation here is what I actually did this week:

• Finished developing my survey
• Worked my way through the IRB training courses
• I finished knitting two baby hats as a gift
• Finished a hat
• Emailed the place I bought my spinning wheel from
• Came up with a contingency plan in case the wheel doesn’t show up until February.
• Blocked and finished a shawl (another Christmas gift)

And in all of that, I did manage to come up with some more insights about myself and my knitting practice.

There’s something about knitting baby hats that makes me very uninspired.
