<\/p>\nToday was the first day of Penn State classes. My sleepy little town of 39,000 added 43,00 Penn State student, more than doubling in a single weekend. Every year it is just as disturbing to suddenly have hordes of undergrads disturbing the peace and quiet.<\/p>\n
Tonight was knitting night at the local public library. I think I figured out the edging for the lace scarf I started ages ago. The pattern hadn’t made any sense to me initially, and I never sat down to work through it. But wool scarves will be appealing again in the not-so-distant future, so I thought it was time. After a couple of abortive attempts to actually knit the edging, I switched to scrap yarn, and finally figured it out. Yes, you do<\/i> a yarnover at the end of a row, and amazingly it works!<\/p>\n

It will<\/i> be scarf season someday soon: I applied a blanket and<\/i> a dog in bed last night. The dog, of course, was quite willing to snuggle up and sleep all night. The cat was self-applying, and only when and where he wanted, with frequent breaks for snacks.<\/p>\n
