Rosedale United is underway! For keeps this time, I hope. I had a whole sleeve done while I was at Wildcat but had misgivings about size and ripped it out to begin again. If I followed the instructions, there would have been no problem. But for some unknown reason I'm not real crazy about ribbing, and I like a garter or reverse stockinette edge at bottom and sleeve edge.Having changed the look of the sleeve, the problem became where to begin the increases as I knit up. This time I got it right--I think. It looks better to my eyes. I'm using Noro Kureyon in color 126.
I got about 2/3 done with sleeve number one tonight while I sat empathetically with Mr. Kathie, watching Monday Night Football, featuring the train wreck that is the Green Bay Packers. Much moaning and groaning. I don't know why he tortures himself so. Just masochism, I guess.This week is looking to be busy, in a stomach-churning sort of way. Wednesday night I'm teaching the first of a series of three Intro to the Internet classes. I have a full-house--twenty students: mostly senior citizens, some of whom have no mouse or even keyboard experience. Does this sound like a recipe for a pounding headache? Yes, it does, but someone has to be the sacrificial lamb served up to teach this kind of thing. Ah well, the people are all nice folks and I can come home afterward and have a nice stiff drink to help decompress.
Thursday is a county-wide library meeting where I have to play somewhat of a role, and right after the meeting I have to attend a luncheon where our library will be presented with an award. Our director will get to do any talking required and I can recede into the background.
Unfortunately, I don't think I dare take knitting along.

I'm with you on the ribbing. I haven't seen a Rosedale United for a while and am looking forward to seeing yours develop in that colorway. I love watching Kureyon projects grow! Mesmerizing.
one of my administrative responsibilities is to train staff how to access and update the internet based student record system. we have mobile labs of laptops (Macs).. aside from the few who don't know how to turn them on, i run into the most problems with people who are PC users and can't generalize any computer skills to Macs, or people who can't figure out the touch-pad cursor. good luck with your class~
