I stayed up too late last night, finishing Jeff’s new sweater. I shouldn’t have done it, but I had already gone too many days without finishing it. Besides, I was comforted (or egged on) by the knowledge that on many occasions my mother has stayed up late, finishing projects for me.
The sweater was supposed to be Jeff’s birthday present, but his birthday isn’t until March, and I was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to wear it then. It is thick and warm, black with yellow radiation symbols on the sleeves. Jeff chose the design, and we made up the chart together. I doubt that anyone else in the world has such a sweater.
He wore it today. Apparently, his fellow physics students were impressed. Dude, where did you get that?!

Craft envy
Yarn aliens and radicals are everywhere. Meanwhile I'm working on two secret gift projects, both nice enough but perfectly flat, and I can't post pictures yet. Jealous!
