Since I am no longer at the yarn store, I signed myself up at a temp agency. What with one thing and another, I have not been able to take the previous assignments they offered me, but I felt that to refuse the third time would look really bad. I was kind of hoping the quiet would hold off till after Christmas.
So, I'm now back at work, full time, 5 days a week for the next while. How the heck did that happen?
Well, it goes like this. I bought the farm. Farming produced about the same as it did back in the 80's - it is cash flow, not profit (or in my case, potatoes, not peaches) - and in order pay for the farm, I must work.
I had a really good time today. It felt nice to stretch my brain beyond knitting, but much as I love knitting hours and hours a day, I am sitting here, kicking myself, and wondering how on earth am I ever going to get 2 sweaters done before Christmas?

Past the bind off for the base of the collar. I might just keep my target finishing date (end of November) on this one yet.

Whoops! Ignore my Rav PM - I can see that you are definitely busy. Hope you're enjoying the job!!
"bought the farm". Best watch how you bandy that term about...
This working for a living really cuts into the lifestyle, doesn't it?
Hope you have fun in your new position. How long is the term. GD
How did things go at the farm this summer? If you go out this winter and want a cuppa cocoa just give me a shout.
Congrats to you. Jobs are hard to find.
pace your self though. You need enough energy left at the end of the day to knit.
