Friends, I bound off the pinwheel baby blanket I started in July. I still need to block it, but I’m blogging it because it is ALMOST done, and it has been quite a long time since I finished a knitted something. Other things of note? I am doing a pretty good job of not putting on real pants during this break I have from teaching. I’m cranking through my to-do list, which is extra-long right now because we’ve got a trip to Toronto coming up. (I have a conference to attend, and Chefboyfriend has some parents [mine] to meet. We both plan to eat all of the things.) That’s the update! Here are some pictures of last week’s adventures.

THIS DOG.

A beautifully bound-off edge.

New (cassis-colored) leggings.

Writing a thing.

Reading a thing.

Closing down the coffee shop.

Thing of beauty. (Huge pot of bolognese.)

Pupper.

Chefboyfriend’s new toy — an immersion circulator.

The very tasty results.
