A Bluestocking Knits

"Show and Tell" this week wants to see a rock.  I got this one some years ago from my favorite boss, who went on a vacation one summer and collected a small bag’s worth of interesting rocks and pebbles for us in the Technical Services department.  I chose this one because of its interesting shape, that fit so well into the curve of my hand.  It is some kind of marble, and so I fondly imagine it from its once-cylindricalness to be the long-lost arm of some Grecian statue, perhaps even the Venus de Milo, broken off in the mists of antiquity, worn smooth by the sea, to be found by a librarian on a sandy beach in Mexico.
