Knit A Little, There A Little

Forever

I've been spending a lot of time with Forever lately...at work...at my son's karate practice...at home...during house shopping with my folks. Pretty much everywhere. I feel like it's my woobie or something. :) Nice and stable. Since the decreases began, it is going a bit faster. Maybe the knitting part of it will be finished by June 10th when school lets out for the summer. But I'm going to have a tough time getting all those ends weaved in afterward. Whew! On this half though (the half where it's beginning to decrease to complete the square), I've implemented something I've learned from the color swatching samples I've been doing (intarsia/fair isle-I promise to post a pic of some of that before this weekend is over, really!! they're on the camera, it just takes freaking forever to load up and sometimes it doesn't work. I know, bummer): carrying the left behind yarn up. Mighty fine, that method! Yeah!!

The Low Down

Guess what?! My local yarn shop, Stitches With Style, is hosting the trunk show from Sally Melville's book THE KNIT STITCH! I can't wait until I can get over there!! It's up until May 24th and I will have some time between now and then to stop over....yay! I'm going to take loads of pics when I go! Yipee! I'm excited...can you tell???

My visiting artist is coming to do a Jazzpainting Session with my art club kids at the school where I teach next week too. Her name is Teresa Haman. She studies with Edward Loper, Sr. He's pretty popular around the Northeast Coast. Lots of stuff going on right now. No wonder I've been so wiped out!

Congrats! & On the Homefront

Congrats are in order to my parents! Chances are they'll never see this post, but they've been shopping for a house for a while now and have finally found one. They're closer to retiring now and they've been looking for a ranch out in a suburban area. They're going to settlement soon, $5000 under asking price which isn't too bad, huh? After having lived in the city for their whole lives, they're finally packin' it up! Not a moment to soon either. At any rate, I'm very happy for them! :)

I wonder if I'll be congratulating myself soon. There is a full time job opening at a place where I've wanted to work since I became a painter and I was actually emailed the ad for it by the person who would be my boss! That's a good sign, right? Benefits are included in the package and that is my primary concern. I don't know how much the pay is yet because that wasn't detailed in the ad, of course. :) Hey, as long as I can support my yarn habit, what do I care? ;)
