Your daily pork report continues to come via my bedroom …..

this guy hangs out on my dresser

I am working on the second sleeve of the sweater. It feels like I have turned a corner and am getting closer to the finish line. Speaking of the finish line – there really should be none of that. This whole thing has been worked in the round and I am going to join the sleeves to the body and work a raglan shaped top. I shall only have a 14 stitch underarm seam to sew. that will be bliss!

In other knitting news, I am loving my KnitPicks interchangeable set. However my two shortest cables have problems. The one would not screw into the needles properly and the other just snapped apart. Kathleen reports that customer service is wonderful, so it shouldn’t be a problem getting them replaced.

a pug’s morning

it is pouring buckets here today. Mr. Boar is on his way home to help bale the garage – we shall try to keep the rising tide from hitting the back door and coming in the house. In lieu of pictures of my soggy morning, how about a peek into the rarefied life of a pug?

Your day will begin at 6:15. This is your choice. You will perform many spectacular stretches in order to procrastinate going outside to attend to your business. After your outdoor business meeting you will zoom back into the house and madly run around the coffee table with fellow pug Lucy in hot pursuit. You will both be running and yelping with ferocious intent but all the while being nothing more than clowns. After the mad dashes you will be delighted to hear it’s time for breakfast. You and your fellow canines will barrel down two flights of steps and skid across the wooden floors perhaps even wipe out when taking the corners. You will wait patiently by your bowl for your food. Those other two idiots act like animals.

You’ve had your kibble. You have been up for one hour. What do you do next?

See if Mom has made the bed yet and settle in for a nap until dinner!

one more update for the plagiarism saga: D#2 heard that the other four students who were accused as well will also be allowed to rewrite their papers. I did not realize that their cases involved this very same assignment. So I am extra glad to have pursued this – it sounds like there was a lot of confusion regarding the paper.

I realize that the drama of all of this may have blinded you to the very real knitting content of yesterday. Knitting content is something of a rarity around here and I would hate for you to miss it! It involves knitting, mathematics and a very cool doohickey! hurry, don’t be the last to know!

I also forgot to mention that I have decided to approach the Pig of the Day project a bit more methodically. At first I was just snapping pictures willy nilly. But as of this week, I am going room by room. All of this week’s pig pics and most likely next week’s are in my bedroom. I do this as a favor to you all since I understand it is imperative that you know the exact placement of items in my vast pig collection. you’re welcome.

Do you remember those Reese’s commercials where two people would be walking along, one eating a bar of chocolate and the other munching from a peanut butter jar? And they would bonk into each other, co-mingling their respective snacks and each exclaim, “You got chocolate on my peanut butter” “Well you got peanut butter on my chocolate!” and it was kind of lame but we all got the message and here I am how many years later remembering it all so it was worth every penny they spent on that advertising campaign? Well this picture is exactly like that minus the lame business
