I totally jinxed myself by promising photos yesterday. I ran out of masking tape, so I barely got anywhere on the painting. It really, really needs to get done tomorrow, though, as I am very quickly running out of February.
I did, however, get an exciting delivery:
Yes, I too have jumped on the Knit Picks bandwagon. The Alpaca Cloud is for the Feather and Fan Shawl from A Gathering of Lace. The Merino Style is for Ribby Cardi. I was really expecting the coal to be more of a dark gray than a black, but okay. I haven't decided on the sleeve color. What do you think?

The Wool of the Andes is for Fuzzy Feet.
I didn't get much done knitting or painting-wise today, because I spent most of the day at Boeing getting millions of tiny carbon fiber splinters. Oh, and 2/3 of my samples are useless. This is what was supposed to happen today:
This is what happened in most cases:
Damn. This means much more time at Boeing.
Then when I went to knit tonight I forgot my pattern for Rogue, so I borrowed scraps from Cass and Janet and needles from Jean and started this for the Dulan Project:
It's going to be for one of the older children.

Why Wild Swan?
In The Wild Swans by HC Anderson, a girl must knit sweaters for her 12 brothers-turned-swans to make them human again, in the short time before she is to be burned as a witch, and she must do it with her bare hands using stinging nettles. In addition to being a very exciting example of knitting in fairy tales, it sums up the essence of knitting; though painfully frustrating at times, it is always worthwhile.

I don't think I really need to tell you what my vote is for on the sleeves...
I like the reddish color myself. But that's just me.
As for the research, I can completely understand. One of these days, we'll have to trade stories about research. But I hope you get better results next week. :)
My vote is for the red too.
I sympathize about the research - I was a grad student once too (days best forgotten).
