So much for blogging every day - I didn't go near my computer all weekend. Just knitting, and reading, and, well, working.
I finished my tank and wore it to work on Friday. It looks very nice and I got lots of compliments on it. Next time I use that pattern I will make the lower half longer and the neck not quite so tight on the bind off (speaking of Friday, we had Knit Nite at the store and I tried to teach Janice to knit; I'm not an experienced knitting teacher and whoever helped Janice pick out her yarn did not pick out a good yarn for a newbie so lots of frustration all around).
Worked a full shift on Saturday. Yup, Christmas psychosis - that should be a recognized disease in the DSM-IV.
Had the store meeting Sunday (also worked a split shift due to a sick co-worker). We gave the store manager his "mohawk" hat and I think he liked it. Just because I'm silly, I packed the hat in a box punched full of airholes and had "this side up" written all over. If I could have found something that would have meow-ed or ribbit-ed I would have snuck that in the box for effect. I didn't have my camera, but I'll post a picture once I download a couple Beth took.

What was she knitting with?
ReplyDeleteAnnie and Emily helped her pick out this fuzzy black novelty yarn with bobble things spun into it - so pretty much all the yarn wanted to do was tie itself into knots. Janice went to Michaels the next day and got some plain worsted yarn and that it working MUCH better.
