It's Not Krispy Kreme

But doesn't it look like a donut from some odd planet where donuts are knit in luciously soft merino wool, and with cables?

And in keeping with the spirit of having to knit part of every square on this project more than once, you'll be happy to know that for my first try on this square, I knit a Moebius band. And I didn't even realize it until I was on the sixth round...

Now, though, I'm at the point where it's really tough to deal with this few stitches using the 2 circular needle method. Gotta see if I have some US6 DPN's around here in the midst of all the clutter.

In non-knitting news, I had a really weird moment tonight: Dad called, and just wanted to talk. Mind you, my dad is fine... but we don't have the chattiest relationship and although we love each other, we're not the communicators that Mom and I have historically been. So when Dad starts in telling me about this feud he's been having with the guy who used to be his best friend, but voted for and is donating more money to W, "the President;" and then on top of that goes and hires a contractor who my dad is suing, well... but it was just weird to actually spend 40 minutes on the phone with home and for Mom to not even pick up...

And to think I was on a weird row of the Donut and couldn't even knit during the call!

[Ed. note: Yes, I knit that all in one day. Including the Moebius false start. I am not some superfast uber-knitter. I seriously spent the whole day (except the part where I was on the phone, or eating lunch, the only meal I had for some unknown reason) knitting. So that's a long day's work at the needles, OK?]
