knit one.....

ok, so.....i have a test to prepare for my class....and a study guide to put online......but i choose to knit a scarf while watching the u.s. open tennis men's final instead.....the scarf is for our favorite ph.d candidate now living in nyc....and it is not a surprise...she picked out the color possibilities.....the material...i hesitate to call it yarn because it is nearer to ribbon....is brownish black base with metallic copper and gold......and with big needles it is loose and shimmers like chain mail......i find that many of my best projects were procrastination in nature....my only water-colors and india ink drawings were done while i should have been studying.....our student may opt to do her thesis on envy in the workplace......quite timely given the crazy antics of my workmates of late.....she wants to know if folks who are envious of other work harder or slack off in response to their envy....and wonders what other side effects there are to this situation.....good question.....ah well.....even blogging is now procrastination from knitting....must get back.....
