great ideas

dr fern loooooved her present, said it was the best present she ever got. deb's great idea, my brilliant execution! of course there was much oohing and aahing over the idea that wool could be created which would stripe itself into socks and then of course i had to show off the baby sock (which i just happened to be carrying around) to show how it was done. everyone now thinks im a genius. teehee. i also demonstrated the whole knitting on three needles thing with the pink grapefruit spider sock, again making me look very clever. funny really considering its only the second time ive ever done it! there was also much admiration at the idea of hand painting wool and its results. here is where the spider sock is at to date:




meanwhile fern looked awesome in her floppy hat and gave a great closing speech at the graduation ceremony. supervision went relatively well for a change, a light bulb went on over the head of one supervisor when he realised what i was trying to do and suddenly got excited while the other just continued to look confused because hes a historian and what the hell has psych theory got to do with history? (this is actually quite a good question). but i came away with some good ideas to implement this week.

and there is, of course, flu in the house, so no SnB for me this arvo - i will need to borrow a ball winder thingy soon to unwind my skeins with, but one thing at a time!
