Back to work.
We've been getting a lot of knitting supplies so I need to coordinate volunteers for a knitting program ASAP. Some resources I've used:

Books:

Stitch 'n bitch : the knitter's handbook by Debbie Stoller
New York, NY : Workman, c2003

Stitch 'n bitch nation
New York, NY : Workman, c2004

Learn to knit by Penny Hill
Upper Saddle River, NJ : Creative Arts & Crafts, 2004

Teen knitting club : chill out and knit by Jennifer Wenger, Carol Abrams, Maureen Lasher.

Here's the scoop on the weekly passes for the T: With all the apparent technology that went into creating them, you still have to show your pass to the booth attendant at most stations. While this doesn't present a huge problem, it means that you often need to find an entrance with an attendant instead of a closer one that only has turnstiles. Even more frustrating is the fact that all the turnstiles have a card reader on them, just a reader for a different card than the one now available.
