Today I was away from home for ten hours in a row. I know this would not be news for most people, but it is for me. I am really beat. Really, really beat. Work has kicked up a notch for the next few days, so I will not be knitting much and not blogging much.

So much time away from home does afford some opportunities to knit one's "travel" project though, and I have completed the toe and done half of the chart for the Embossed Leaves socks. Lace knit on every row makes me kind of giddy. The pattern is simple. It almost makes me think that I might *like* to knit lace... anyway... I consider it to be "training" for the Knitting Olympics (US Lace Team) and a candidate for my Sockapalooza socks.
