What's Going On
My knitting--oh, my knitting! It's been pretty dull actually; I've finished knitting the vest pieces and I'm now putting in the pockets. I decided to put in 2 little waist pockets (big enough for keys and my library card), but I wasn't sure about what yarn I wanted to use. I knew, however, that I wanted the pockets to be knit into the sweater and not sewn on later. My solution? I put in a piece of waste yarn as a place holder in each pocket spot and am now knitting the first pocket into the garment. I'm using a fingering weight wool in lieu of the Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed for the pocket innards; I wanted less bulk, tighter gauge. It's fun.
Other things? I'm averaging a job application out the door a day, which I've got to step up in the next week; many jobs begin their review Nov. 1. I'm actually enjoying it. There's so much to coordinate and organize!
