Big (work related) News!

Today, I got an unexpected bonus at work. They are giving me 'recognition' for all the hard work and long hours of this summer. Hot damn! I was pretty excited to hear that.

And, about a month ago I expressed interest in a new job. Same company, just a different job. It would a step up, a promotion. I was nervous to apply, as with the promotion, of course comes more responsibility, more traveling, and even my own org chart! Today, I find out, I got it. Cece, Vice President. Exciting! Scary! Will I have to stop wearing Birkenstock sandals with hand knit wool socks to the office?

On my way home, I went to the Woolpack. They are having Melissa Leapman in town on Dec 10th for a series of classes, and I signed up for her Fully Fashioned and Fabulous class. I needed to stop in to pay for the class. As I was wandering around the store, what do a notice but a FRESH SHIPMENT OF KOIGU. Lets do the math, shall we? One bonus + one promotion = 8 skiens of kogiu. Yippie! Check out the full bag I walked away with! There is more in the bag then Kogiu. I also got yarn for some of the booties from 50 Baby Booties to Knit, and some cotton yarn for a Jill Eaton jumper I was to make for a friends baby.


So the question remains, can I resist the new yarn long enough to continue working on the Tilted Jacket? I think so! I'm making so much progress, and it's turning out really well. I think it's all due to the yarn - the Goddess yarn is absolutely wonderful to work with. Due to the way you have to knit it (all in one piece for the front) it's hard to get a good picture of the jacket in progress, but at least you get an idea.

OK - off to knit!
