My car has some commentary on the day.
To AM traffic:
FU!
To going-home:
thumbs-up.
I’m glad my car feels good about being home. 
She still doesn’t have a name yet… soon. Maybe when she gets some plates.
Anyway. Work has been pretty crazy, I must say. There’s a lot going on… but luckily I do have a little wiggle room in some of the things I’m working on. It’s going to make it so much easier to get it all done, what with the pressure being relieved at least a little. Not to mention the stuff I’m working on is so darn cool. I wish I could talk about it!
Since I can’t, I’ll tell you about what I’m knitting outside of work. I got the sleeves done for the Lisa Shrug:
And I’ve unraveled the cast-on from one so as to begin the I-Cord.
so, finally nearing the end!
I haven’t finished my Autumn Wheat socks yet, though I’m darn close. I started the short rows to get the sides as high as the top. When that’s done, all there is to do is the roll brim – 12 rounds of stockinette. Woo! I also decided that I needed a break from small things and grabbed a ball of Rowan Big Wool out of the stash:
Certainly not the most amazing thing ever, but the monotony and speed is kind of nice right now. 
Ok, i need to be in bed. Peace out, cub scout.
Some name suggestions:
Cherry Berry
Rita the Red Racer
Hot Helen…of Troy
I think that my commute from Portland to Crafts Americana is pretty good. You aren’t supposed to live in the city and commute to the suburbs, so there isn’t really any traffic. It’s a nice break from living in southern California. I just wish that the public transit from Oregon to Washington was a little better connected so I didn’t have to drive.
