Knitting mojo!

I went to a Knit Night in Columbia last night, and had a great time (once I found where it was... that's got to be the most well-hidden Panera anywhere). I was one of six new people there, which thankfully meant that I wasn't the only one trying to learn a whole bunch of names. I've gotten a lot better with names since I started working at the library, but I'm still far from having a photographic memory for names and faces. :)

I had my recently-started Tempting II with me. Right now, it's a lot of k1p1 rib, which is something I don't have to pay tons of attention to... good social knitting. When I got there, I had about 2.5" of it complete... when I left, I had 4". How the heck did that happen? Aren't my projects supposed to take forever? Apparently, I had good knitting mojo last night. And a couple of people there had spindles with them. When I went up to grab some food, a couple of people behind the counter were commenting on what was going on at our table. "Oh my gosh, did you see this? That lady's SPINNING!" I may have to bring along the cotton candy roving next time...

Anyway, lots of fun people, AND I got a decent amount of knitting done. Woohoo! I'd love to get Tempting II done before summer's over. The way I look at it, I got my altered Ribbon X-back done during the Knitting Olympics, and that was WAY more stitches than this is.

Right now, I'm just enjoying doing nothing... today I worked 4 hours at one branch, grabbed a sandwich from Panera (yes, that's two Panera meals in two days), drove to the other side of the county, scarfed down my sandwich in 10 minutes, and then worked another 3 hours at a different branch. I'm just vegging out with a glass of wine at the moment (Boordy Blush, which is the bottle I picked up there on Saturday). It wasn't a difficult day, just a long and tiring day.
