Courthouse knitting means an FO
I finished another EZ baby sweater today while being empanelled for
the county grand jury. I need to go do my homework (reading about 75 pages of legal blather) so that tomorrow I can ask intelligent-sounding questions during the three or more hours it takes a county assistant attorney to read said blather verbatim during orientation. THEN I'm going to cast on two socks so that in the event I finish one tomorrow I'll have a backup project. My sunglasses set off the metal detector going into the courthouse annex. So I had to be wanded - during which my bra underwires set off the handheld wand, occasioning a trip to the "exam room" with a female deputy sherrif who had to examine my bra before letting me into the building. My glasses cases and purse-slash-tote were also checked for chemical residue. Knitting needles - wooden ones, at any rate - weren't a problem. Hopefully after tomorrow I'll have a special hall pass that will allow me to use the "employee chute" and avoid the metal detector altogether. Oy, and I just looked at the clock, 'tis 2245 for me. Mayhap I'll do the casting on while listening to blather tomorrow morning... |
