Did I tell you guys my TRIUMPH in speedy stranded knitting?

It was (of course) preceded by an epic FAIL of stranded knitting. i.e, for the last pair of traveling socks I worked on, I decided to do something fancy - the first graph of the Nordic Lights Socks from Janel Laidman's Eclectic Sole book of sock patterns. I was knitting on ones. It took forever. . . I had to start over several times before I really got going. . . and then I was done. Last Thursday, upon which I realized that the socks would in no way fit on a adult human foot. I got in touch with my downstream partner and determined that if I knit like a madwoman I could probably get them to her in time for her to do the last bit before the intended sock owner moved to Germany.

So Thursday evening I frogged the first sock and re-cast on - this time using 2.5 sock needles. I knit madly all evening and FINISHED the sock. In one night.

And still got some sleep.

I did the second sock yesterday. I still cannot quite believe that I did it.

I'm mailing the socks to the downstream partner after work today.

Yay for craft triumphs!

Family legend says that my great-grandmother knit a pair of socks a night for the soldiers during WWI. Here's more about patriotic knitting: [link]

As I said, legend, although most people who talked about her said she could get more done in a day than anyone they'd ever known. If only I'd inherited that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just paused on a frame of Birkoff's monitor which has a post it saying "Call your mom. This time I mean it."

So, is Birkoff canonically not separated from his family?

And why am I wondering about a gag?

Say what?

Was that an actual note to Birkoff to call his mother? He has a mother he's in contact with?

Alex is in contact with her mother. Ryan may or may not be in contact with his mother. I'm not sure anyone else has a mother.
