Ms. Knitfriendly nominated me as a Rockin' Girl Blogger, which is totally cool because I like totally rock out on Guitar Hero 80s (I kick ass at "18 and Life" on Expert). In actuality, I don't think she knows of my Guitar Hero prowess, but in a much sweeter move picked me because I was her first knitting blog!

So now apparently it is my turn to nominate a few gals as rockin' bloggers...

Cordelia from Llyr's Daughter because she is awesome and my best real-life knit bud. She's journeyed with me to MDS&W and Rhinebeck. And she just won an award!

Terby from Terby Knits because as (part of) her subtitle says "scientist, knitter, reader, pop culture junkie." That's my kinda gal.

Nona of Nonaknits because she creates awesome and unique patterns (i-cord gloves, sideways socks).

Jody from Savannahchik because she was the first online friend that I met in person and she taught me to knit socks on two circs.

Yay for Rockin' Girl Bloggers!!

I'm nearing completion on a pair of socks and have added a few spikes to the alligator. Today I had orientation for my new job. The very best part was walking by my new office (before even having a key) and seeing the very official looking name placard with "Dr." in front of my name. My office mate (also a newbie) seems very nice and the other newbies were friendly. I haven't sniffed out if there were any knitters, but that might take until the weather cools for real and some investigation of people's wardrobes.
I have a few pictures from Sunday's short tour of NYC with my aunt, uncle, and cousin. But I'm too tired right now to bother uploading them on the other computer.
