In which boredom ensues

So life is pretty boring right now. Spring break at work - which means longer hours with less to do to fill them. Currently I'm re-entering all of the physicals into the computer, because somehow, even though it wasn't supposed to, the original excel file was erased when the computer got updated with new Clinic stuff. Grr.

Today should be better though, baseball scrimmage is scheduled to be played on the football field, and it's sunny out. Chilly, but sunny. And I've got the knitting, as always.
The finished test knit fingerless mitt. The pattern is called Talinay, and it's not yet released, but when it is, the proceeds are supposed to go to the Chilean Relief effort. I'll eventually get around to doing the other one.

I'm finally getting somewhere with the Laminaria shawl. I felt like I was stuck on the blossom chart forever.
Probably didn't help that I took a week off to finish all the green stuff. Or that I'm not particularly fond of some of the stitches in the blossom chart. But one chart left and it's done, which means that I should totally meet my deadline of this weekend so that it's blocked and dry in time to enter at KotS.
Close up, in case you're interested in that kind of thing. Blocking will do amazing things to this shawl.

And then on Friday night, I had the urge to start a new sock. So I did.
The Atlantis pattern from The Enchanted Sole, with Sanguine Gryphon's Eidos yarn (colorway Cleidophon). And by Sunday night, that's how far I was. Crazy fast.
I was a bit worried that I would run out of yarn for the second sock, since it's a bit longer in the leg than I normally do. But after a quick weigh in on Meagan's scale, it's all good, and I'll do the ribbing soon and move onto the second one. Yippee.
Yeah, if that yarn looks familiar, it's because this is not the first attempt to make it into a sock. A while back I attempted the Vilai pattern out of it and it didn't work. This is much better.

Alright, off to get ready for work. Hopefully I'll have something less boring to report next time.
