Promptly into the New Year, I got fired from my job. Which caused me to have to move from my apartment and back home to my mom's house, and killed what little yarn budget I had. So, with that being said, I was not really in the best of places to be blogging about anything really, so I didn't. I Just sent out resumes and knitted. Alot. I start a new job on Monday, and feel much better about, well, everything! I'm hoping that i won't disappear from the blogosphere again.
So what have I been up too... a lot of knitting. Everything that was on my needles at last count is done, AND I even bought yarn for, and knitted my long awaited Lil Red Riding Hoodie. I don't have photos of it yet, since wearing it in May isn't really something that needs to be done since it's 60 some odd degrees out. I've got a good number of things on the needles now, two of which are sweaters. Come to find out, i really like knitting sweaters. I loved socks for a long time, being so easy to take everywhere and work on. But the sweaters are starting to win me over. I don't know if it's because I like how relaxing knitting for miles in the round can be, or if it's because Lorrine from A Good Yarn has been so kind as to teach me the sweater pattern for the past few weeks, in hopes that I can help her at the shop. Since I'm working now, I don't know what will happen with that, but I'll talk to her soon, see what the deal is. I'd love to still learn from her, and I'd love to help out, but I don't know how much time she will need from me.
I went to Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival for the first time last weekend.
Went with the Little Bro and Tamar. Ravelry was there, and I spoke to Jess, thanking her for my user pic sticker, since they had printed a bunch of pics and were going to hand out buttons to go with pics, but ran out well before Sunday, when I was able to get there. I also fell madly in love with this "mini" spinning wheel, called a HitchHiker. I'm soooooo getting one, once I get some of my back debt taken care of. I also found a super nice guy by the name of Pat Russo who restores old spinning wheels, and would be able to make me some bobbins. Eeeeee!It's great that I can spend my first seven paychecks before I get them. *sigh*
