Waterworld

So we took down the drop ceiling (lattice like they have at the local Olive Garden--looks pretty cool and hides the pipes without sacrificing height). Yesterday.

Twenty-four hours later, no drips. Bone dry. No water stains on the rafters. What's up with that?

So we left the 4X8 lattice panel leaning against the pool table until we get nails for the nail gun. (Yes, we do! Bought it to hang the ceiling 7 years ago. SHUT UP!) And the other half thinks that it will eventually drip with the panel missing. Not me! It's going to wait until we get the ceiling panel nailed back and all the pictures on the wall and the books back on the shelf. Then it's gonna drip. Mark my words!

I finished the main part of the Rambling Rows Jacket tonight (waiting for the ceiling to drip). Picked up the sleeves and knit them each in both colors (as opposed to Carol Anderson's suggested harlequin style of one each of the colors) in the first 6 numbers of the Fibonacci sequence (add the two preceeding numbers in the sequence to get the next number: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and so on to infinity).




Of course, the cuff screwed up the sequence. They should have been 13 ridges to be correct. Correct for a baby gorilla, perhaps.

The 100th number in the sequence (in case you care) is 354,224,848,179,261,915,075. Imagine the size of the sweater with that stripe!

No, I did not calculate it. Even though I could have. I JFG it! And you can, too. Google is your friend.
