Windsor Button was amazing in sooo many ways. So much yarn to pet...it was all so yummy!! I brought one of my friends from school who is a recent convert to knitting. I helped her find some new yarn for washcloths and needles to make them with. I escaped with a single skein of Trekking XXL in the 147 colorway.
That same day my order from the Knit Picks Clearance came in. Two beautiful hanks of Gossamer in the Sunrise colorway.
My Calorimetry (the first of many seeing as I've already cast on for a second one :P) was from the sparkly White Multi Wool-Ease I bought a while ago. I followed the pattern as it was written...but I'm definitely downsizing for the next one since this one just kinda sits on my head. I love the buttons I got...they work so perfectly!! My second one is a smaller version of this one casting on 100 and working 12 repeats of row 5...but I'm using the same yarn and buttons because I love them so much...and the first one is a present for a friend.
Actually getting out to a party with my friends from med school is always an achievement on my part. They always start so late and it's such a pain for me to get in and out of town at night that I don't do it that often. But this past Friday was the second annual Stache Bash, a fundraiser for the Niramaya Foundation (which I think may have been founded by one of my classmates) involving a moustache competition. This of course results in a lot of nerdy fun...and the money raised provides micronutrients for children and their mothers in India. It was tons of fun...right down to a group of my classmates performing Stroke Heroes Act Fast.
As for the Microbiology midterm...it's over...which means that it's time for me to start getting caught up on Oncology and Infectious Diseases. Happy knitting!!!

Woo Hoo!
Yay for getting out, finishing your midterm, AND going to Windsor Button ;)
I am sure your new student is doing well, I mean look at your previous accomplished pupils ;) (he he, couldn't resist)
P.S. Cute Calorimetry, I'll have to keep your alterations in mind for mine!
The button is beautiful!
Don't feel too badly about not getting to Windsor Button earlier. I haven't been there yet, despite playing softball for 12 weeks on the Common!
