So I'm almost two weeks into the new job. Not much knitting news; I joined the Boston SnB Yahoo group, and I'm going to try to make it to at least one knitting circle next week, but if it goes anything like this week I won't have the energy. The job is working out well so far, though there's a BIG deadline at the end of next week and so everyone is a bit fraught; I'm the new guy (or, at least, one of the new guys), and I've been concentrating on trying to be useful and not increasing other people's workload. So far I seem to be succeeding.

I've knit in public a lot, too. My commute means I take the 88 bus along Highland Avenue to Davis Square, then the Red Line to Alewife (the opposite direction from most commuters!), then a 50-yard walk to the office. On a good day, that's 12 minutes of butt-in-seat time; on a bad day, that's also 15-20 minutes of waiting time. Which isn't so bad, if it means another 2-3 rounds on a sock. Nobody has seemed to notice ro care, except for a bus driver earlier this week who peered at what I had in my hands, then grinned at me and gave me a thumbs-up.

Oh, and I guess I lied about the knitting news. I made it onto Ravelry! I'm cwilbur there, go figure. Feel free to say hello there, if you want.

And the Elsinore sock pattern is currently a casualty of the work stress; I hoped to get it done last weekend, but I spent the time sleeping instead. Maybe this weekend.
