School's out for summer - well, kind of...

My first year as a graduate student is complete! Two weeks of playtime are almost up. Starting next week, it's back to reading and studying to prepare for my research trip. The schedule will be a lot easier than the usual semester schedule, though.

I bought yarn to make some crocheted washcloths (see photo at left) and

yarn to make a faux pot of African violets for my mom. I haven't done a lot of crocheting in the round so the violet project will be great practice.

A thunderstorm is in today's forecast so it has been cool and overcast all day. I hope our warm summer weather comes back soon - I'm tired of being cold!
