Time for knitting

Well it may be hot in Houston, but that doesn't mean you can't knit! I think everyone who is reading this blog knows that I like to knit. (That may be a bit of an understatement ;) Some of my fellow PAC (Pediatric AIDS Corps) doctors asked if I was bringing knitting to Botswana! Of course I am; the question is how much! (They will learn soon...)

So obviously I am going to take advantage of two weeks of classes to work on some fun projects. I began a baby surprise jacket on the first day of orientation and in 4 days it was finished! It is called "baby surprise" because when you are knitting it looks nothing like a sweater. When it's finished, you sew up two quick seams and tada you have a sweater! It's amazing what you can accomplish when you can knit all day and still learn all about HIV, TB, diarrhea, etc!
Here's a photo.
It still needs a crocheted neck and some buttons, but they will come in time.

In other news, I hear that people who have signed up to "follow" the blog are not getting emails when I post. I read more about blogging today and I have added a "button" on the side panel which will allow you to subscribe to the blog. If you enter your email in the subscription line, and follow the instructions, you will get an email confirmation. Click on the link in the email and you will be subscribed. Let me know if it works or not, so I can try to figure something else out if it doesn't.
