Episode 7: Quals are Coming

I took a break from studying to record today.


Closed book, no calculators, no notes. So the math is easy, but I have to memorize the equations and for what assumptions they are valid for, and remember how to draw graphs to qualitatively describe behavior.

The State of the Stash

Since it is the beginning of the month, it is time to show how the stash is doing.



You might notice that in the past 2 weeks, my total skeins has dropped, while my miles haven't. That is the advent of the fiber stash feature.I kept my fiber in my stash, which added to skeins but not miles. It is fine.

While I did finish 2 things, when I added a yarn that was missing from my stash for a current project and my finished skein of gnomespun, it looks like I didn't knit at all. Sigh.

That is all for now, take care guys
