Supreme Court Knitting

Yesterday I knit in public while waiting in line to get into the Supreme Court. For three hours. In heels. But, on the bright side, I got a good chunk of my circular shrug done: http://momcast.blogspot.com/2006/01/craftster-circular-shrug.html

I'm using this awesome reddish-pink yarn made out of recycled sari silk that Mili got me for my birthday. It has little flecks of all sorts of bright colors. I'm also planning on using some very soft silk/merino blend wool in blackberry to do some striping. I'll post some pics once it's further along.

Going to the argument was strange. The lawyers both made really good cases, but it was about a federal preemption issue, and I can't help but feel sorry for the group of what looked to be 3rd graders on their school trip. Might I add that Clarence Thomas sat slouched in his seat, with his head lolling back and looking incredibly bored the entire time. Wow. And one of the attorneys accidentally called Justice Breyer "Steve". Double wow.

I'm a little offended you didn't mention your awesome co-worker who waited with you for those 3 hours and even lent you her Express....hahaha!

Apologies...the Express did help matters out. It would have been even better if I had the guts to do the sudoku puzzle instead of saving it for you!
