Default 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...

to boring, you will get a lot of knitting done.
