I don't know about you, but I wish we could just stay on daylight saving time forever. It's so depressing to leave the office and see a pitch black sky. It also makes it difficult to photograph my knits in progress.
Here's an in progress shot of my tubular camisole. My sister/knitting advisor strongly urged me to take it off the needles and try it on so that I wouldn't be disappointed about the size. She was right -- my first cami was a bit too large. So, I restarted it on Sunday and am now one pattern repeat away from the ribbing. Woo hoo!
**Update**
I brought this project with me when I took the train to the dreaded Sprawl of America on Saturday afternoon. I am now on the ribbing section. Perhaps I'll finish it today and be able to wear it to work tomorrow!
**Update part two**
Still 1.5 inches of ribbing to go and my hands are aching, so I don't think I'll make my goal of finishing it tonight. I am making a solemn vow to never again use metal knitting needles. At least there is the distraction of a fun Joan Crawford film (No More Ladies), which has some excellent lines and a character who crochets.
i'm with you! we should just turn the clock further forward instead!
or we could work shorter days. hmm, i'm going to suggest this to my boss.
happy weekend!

I hate getting out of work and seeing it dark outside, but I do like getting to wake up to sunlight. I get completely thrown off during the two weeks or so before the clock change when I wake up and it's all dark outside. I never want to get out of bed when it's still really dark.

i wish we had more daylight at the end of the day than at the beginning. i would rather go to work in the dark but come home in the light.

Hah, I normally to and from work when it's dark. The joys of working shift :-) Your camisole looks terrific, I loved the colour you used. I'm now into darker, sombre shades.

Lovely sweater you're knitting. :)

Hi Amy --
Semi-unrelated comment here.
I think of you as someone that doesn't miss a trick, but I don't see this on either of your knitting blogs. Did you somehow miss the news of the giant knit bunny?

Isn't that bunny story hilarious?
I did post it back in Sept., but only as a wee blurb amongst all the other knitting news stories for that month. http://teruterubouzu.typepad.com/knitting_news/2005/week39/index.html
Do you think the bunny shows up on Google Earth?
