There's been a little bit of knitting going on here. I've been working on the Crooked Cables from Sock Bug. Can I just say how wonderful her patterns? This is the third pair I've made from her.
Sorry for the crappy picture. Night-time indoor photos with a flash aren't so great. Its Koigu. Isn't it amazing that I'll use $11/skein yarn for knitting socks, but I put fingernail polish on the runs in my pantyhose, so I can get one or two more wearings out of them before I throw them away?
Work at Starbucks has been keeping me busy. I've been working quite a few hours, and have been asked to take a Shift Supervisor's position. Its good, because that means more money and more responsibility, which keeps me from being bored. I'm sure you've heard about the Price Increase. They are giving us all a $.10 wage increase. Whoa. Don't spend that all in one place. But hey, when was the last time a company raised its prices and then gave it to their employees?
We promised Alex a kitten. I don't know what's overcome us. Somehow I didn't think I'd hear the pitter-patter of four little feline feet again. He's been really wanting one for a while, and I'd like another kitty since the passing of Bear. We miss having two in the house. Sadie's not sure what she thinks of this idea.
Congrats on the new position!
I buy fairly cheap pantyhose ($5-6 per pair). If they are OK for 3 wearings, I figure I got my money's worth. :)
