Hair on Fire

Back from Iowa, which was relatively peaceful, and on to High Frisbee Tourney Season. Our first trip is Friday, to Seattle, with 37 moppets aged 11 to 19, sleet and rain predicted (all games are played on a soccer pitch), and us with absolutely no gear. Major shopping trips, all full price, unfortunately, have been happening, and I haven't even unpacked from the last trip.

Plus: work? If it weren't for the money, I swear. I'd stay in bed all day like a sensible person. I'm already job hunting for the job I want after I finish school. In 2 years plus 6 weeks (not that I'm counting).

Nice run today, first one in a week. Cal the Dog is finally coming along as a running partner, he did 3.5m at a regular run pace and heeled about 75% of the time. I may keep him.

Tangled Yoke is body+90% of one sleeve done, other sleeve plus yoke to go, and I would love to hear from anyone else who has knit it about those sleeves. I think those lengths sound awfully short, and I don't have abnormally long arms. Does the weight pull the sleeves down? That happened with Sausalito. I will get to knit on the plane this weekend, but experience suggests that little knitting will happen at the games (no chairs, for one thing).

Next post should contain Frisbee Pix.

I just read a book that suggested that dogs with "eyebrows" are generally rated the most personable, the most mystically-powered, etc. Some people think that it's just because it's easy to read their faces.

I so wish I were going with you guys this weekend. Alas, I'm relegated to shopping, shopping shopping. We're thinking many socks, more underarmor, and maybe some rain/wind pants. Sigh.

If the sleeves can be added on from the bottom post-knit, then knit according to pattern. Are you on Ravelry? Have you searched in the blogosphere to see any comments on the arms? My experience with Pearl Buck is that the measuring tape doesn't lie. If they seem short. . .
