I am online looking up new stitches to knit so far, I like:
Honeycomb stitch
Bamboo stitch
and
Checkerboard stitch

I think to be a history professor must be one of the greatest professions! Not part of the original thought, but I had an amazing Western Civ. professor, I think he was Nowegian, and had a really cool accent, though strange made his lectures interesting to hear.
