Oy! M and I have been under the gun at work: papers to get ready to submit and data for grants to acquire. Oy! I didn’t mean to be away for so long, but I’m still catching my breath. At least these were all good things to be doing as a research biochemist, but it did make me a veg every evening. But while vegging I got a little done in the knitting department (there’s a FO to block and another to photo, but not today). Let’s look at some sock stuff.

\n<\/a>
\nAnd just for some flowery beauty, at the Sacramento farmers’ market, I bought some pink gerbera daisies and chartreuse spider mums. I just couldn’t resist; they were so fresh and pretty:
