For the last two days I've been bashing my head against my Applied Math homework (pictured above). I'm trying to find the modified equation for the planar Kepler problem using the BCH formula. Unfortunately every time I do the Poisson brackets, I get a different result. Math is fun!
Let's talk about something prettier...like mittens.
The mittens pictured above are a gift for my mom. ( I know, it's a bit late. At least I'll have them done for next winter!) I'm following the Tweedy Mitten pattern by Midnightknitter which can be found here:

I'm using US #8 bamboo needles and Cascade brand Pastaza yarn. I love the 50% Llama/ 50% wool blend. The mittens get softer with use and don't pill much at all. My only problem with this yarn is that Miles LOVES to play/chew/eat it. I've had to become very creative at hiding my knitting.
My second project is a fountain lace dishcloth. I'm using a pattern by Smariek located here:

I decided I wanted a larger, stretchier cloth so I'm using US #8 needles. The yarn is Sugar 'n Cream. This has been a fun intro into basic lace patterns, and I can't wait to try more.
