Cheery Scarf
Jun. 3rd, 2008 01:10 pmThis was my Leave At Work project for meetings, and as such, it served me well. An easy pattern that doesn't take a lot of thought or concentration, and goes pretty quickly for short periods of time. Then I borrowed it to use the ball of yarn in Tentaculus's Maze entry, so it came home with me, where I promptly finished it. This is my first experience using Malabrigo yarn, and I can see why it has such obsessive groupies. It's very soft and warm and comfy. Now I need another work project, though... 
The Maze and Pagenum entries took me into Rotch and Hayden Libraries. I'm not sure I'd ever been in Rotch before, and I haven't been in the Hayden basement for at least a decade. I had forgotten how overwhelming the MIT libraries are - Hayden basement in particular - in their sheer force of accumulated knowledge. It's one of the places where MIT-as-firehose comes across for me most strongly. I've been here for long enough that MIT for me is home. And "home" is not scary, or impressive, or dramatic - it's comfortable and familiar. It's nice to remember the epic side once in a while, though.
