It rained in Texas?

For months and months (at least it seems that long) we've had no rain. Of course with the rain comes the accidents. Drivers in SA just don't know how to drive in the rain. Because we don't get much rain, when we do the oils on the road rise up causing the roads to be slick. My poor little Miata got wet. I was a little worried about driving on the "slick" roads. Didn't need to worry, it drove great. Even in cold wet weather, the Miata's a fun car.

Now on to some knitting content. I've been working along on my sweater. I call it the Left Over Yarn Sweater or LOYS for short. So far LOYS has been an easy knit. I can watch TV and knit the pattern as it's only a two row pattern. It's knitted in the round until under the arms, then you split it for the front and the back. I've finished the back and have started working on the top front. Next will be the sleeves, and for some reason I always hate doing sleeves. Maybe I should have knitted them first?

Today at lunch I gave a new student a beginning lesson on knitting. She caught on fast and even held her needles with ease. Tomorrow is the next "real" class. We have a total of 6 new knitters and 2 co-workers I taught last year. We'll have a full house. Should be interesting as our office has moved and we really don't have a lot of room. Not to mention that we are no longer in a private area. But at least they all seem to be getting the knitting bug. We'll see who shows up for tomorrow's class.
