What have I been doing all this time?

A month passes...

My 2 readers will be fascinated to learn that I am knitting a baby blanket for my rep's first baby, due next month. Organic cotton. Good for the environment, and PC-upscale enough for sales people. And I have been knitting it IN PUBLIC. Yes, my 2 friends, I have knit at the bus stop, on the bus, in the subway station and on the brown line. No one has yet asked me what the hell I'm doing - but I'm also plugged into my ipod, so I might not hear the cretin. I haven't noticed any funny looks, and I've been prepared for them. Positives about knitting on and (mostly) while waiting for the CTA: no one bugs me, I have pointy objects literally in hand should I be thrust into close combat, frustration with stupid red line is lower, and I got several inches of blanket done in the 2 1/2 hours it took me to get home last night, which otherwise would have been lost.

Also, the red line makes me hate the Cubs. Add more damn trains before night games for the love of all that is good and holy!
