Cake

Knitting was particularly tasty last night:



Heidi's b-day is this week too, so our knitties brought us cakes! This one is ice cream cake, and there was also a delicous cake-cake, which fell victim to ravenous knitters before it could be immortalized in pixels.

I've been using Flickr all day for actual work-work, and it's making me feel vaguely guilty--as though using Flickr is by definition goofing off, and should be kept to a minimum. I am obviously a wimp about this, because I also had to leave campus (just barely: I was next door to a university building and the university may very well be the store's landlord) to make a work-related purchase during the day and felt like I was cutting class. Clearly, I have never skipped an actual class, or I wouldn't be this confused. (Oh wait! Once in high school I stayed home because I couldn't wear my contacts and my glasses prescription was really out of date. I'm such a rebel!)

In unrelated (but visually somewhat cake-like) news, I started knitting the hemlock ring doily-turned-blanket over the weekend.



I was sort of dreading the feather and fan (I once knit an interminable F and F blanket, from which I have obviously not recovered), but it turns out that it's slightly addictive (consequently, the blanket is much bigger than it is in this picture).
