So, my life hasn't been all job applications and pondering my future. I've been spending time with family, ordering boatloads of Girl Scout cookies, and reading. In between, I've been doing lots of knitting. I finished a scarf I started in Bloomington with my knitting group, and made matching fingerless gloves to go with it.
closeup of the scarf - I finally figured out how to do K2tog and ssk stitches in a way that works with my "backwards" knitting.

One sock, and the beginnig of the second - the top of the sock is too baggy, so I'm adjusting the pattern for the second sock. I'll end up with a pair that aren't quite the same, but with a pattern that will be customized to my feet.I've also finished several baby blankets for a local nonprofit, the Mary Madeline Project (http://www.marymadelineproject.org/). They donate infant burial gowns and blankets to local hospitals for bereaved parents.

Knitting group??? Marshmellow and jello salads are next.
Ah, but this depends entirely on what you're knitting. I prefer the homemade soup and bottle of wine myself. Of course, if I check out the Dominknitrix pattern book from the library.... well...
