Yesterday I finished plying the alpaca, and decided it might instead be
llama. That would explain the coarseness and the guard hairs, anyway. I
started another project which is definitely alpaca, 8 ounces of a beautiful
red-brown from a farm in New York. Soft soft soft.

I met with students, signed off on my performance review, and had a
glorious chat with a visiting hs student trying to decide between CMU and
Olin. Any day I get to talk to folks about Olin is a good day.

After dinner I cooked up more rice and knit a good chunk of decreases in
the hat lining. The end is in sight! I watched a beautifully produced
animated film called Breadwinner, about a family struggling against taliban
control in Kabul, Afghanistan. Highly recommend. Normally I can’t do mortal
danger, but the animation softens the edges a bit, and no corpses are shown.
