I am so sad to say this, but I have nothing major to report as far as fiber fun goes. I've been hit with a lot of exciting but non fiber projects, all relating to my recently concluded experiment on cross modal categorization in humans.
So, I will be away at a conference this weekend, talking about my research. I'll also be doing a presentation in two weeks right at school.
Therefore... I will not have the time to update regularly until this work is done. I also probably won't be doing anything fun or fiber related until then either. I did manage to snag a phat fiber box this month! so when that gets here I'll take pretty pictures and post them, but I don't think I'll be making any other posts until after April 5th. Oh well, at least I'm too busy to post because happy, exciting things :)

busy busy busy
Sorry for the lack of posts, I've got some big deadlines coming up! I have been able to make a little time for some fiber fun. Sorry, all of the pictures in this post are from my cell phone because my camera ran out of batteries :(
I knit a little preemie hat for charity. I'll be donating it to care to knit when I get to Long Island for spring break. I knit it using this great set of preemie hat patterns! This was my first ever attempt at magic loop. I've learned that although it isn't my favorite knitting strategy it certainly has it's uses. I'll probably use magic loop for most socks I knit in the future.
I've also been working on my dish towel cotton purse. Using the big honkin bag pattern. I'm only about halfway through one side of the bag. When it's finished I'd like to try sewing a lining into it, which is something I've never tried before!
Earlier this week as a treat to myself for surviving my practice presentation (laboratory stuff) I rounded out my knit picks options collection, so I now have sizes 4-8. I don't think I'll need any others for a long time.
