Promising
Look what I saw when I got up this morning:
Rosy-fingered dawn! Do you know how long it's been since I woke up to natural light? [ETA, per Amanda's and Cordelia's comments, that I do not get up particularly early at all (by objective standards. By my own standards, anything before 9 is early). This sunrise was approx 7:15 this morning.]
So that's exciting. Also exciting? The Amazing Race is back! And I do mean BACK--no stupid families, excellent challenges, and HELICOPTERS. And the nerdiest little couple with whom I am totally in love. Happy happy happy. Plus, the season premire was 2 hours long, so that meant lots of knitting time.
Pomatomus? Frogged. Wyvern? Well underway. Thanks for the suggestion, Olga! I have to say, I don't like the pattern itself nearly as much as Pomatomus--I miss the pop of the twisted sitches--but it is not crippling my hands, which makes it a winner in my book. And as Olga wisely observed, fish? Dragons? Both scaly.
(Note that the Wyvern reposes on a stack of blue books. Which remained ungraded while I watched TAR and knitted. Priorities, mes amis, priorities.)

I'm thinking I should not ask at what ungodly hour you actually get up.
I should, however, congratulate you on a most successful ordering of priorities. Enjoy Wyvern.
I was thinking the exact same thing as Cordelia about the crack of dawn.
Wyvern looks great!
I looooved the nerdy couple! Those blue books brought back horrific law school memories, but Wyvern looks fantabulous.
oooh.. I like it! a LOT!
Scaly indeed. Much better! Beautiful photo of your morning. ;)
heh heh. I too am neglecting grading for, well, just about anything else. Although that's all comin' down on me today. Wyvern is looking good - I like the stripes on the toe.
oh, yay! i'm glad you liked my suggestion! can't wait to see how it turns out.
Ah, the "blue book"... don't miss it one bit.
Lovely sunrise. And Wyvern--also lovely.
hmm i think i'm going with that same pattern i like the way it looks! i also love The Amazing Race. and all else gets put on hold while i watch it.. lol
