Moving Right Along
...dugga dum, dugga dum.
Nice trip to Rhinebeck on Sunday with Cupcake. I TOTALLY missed the exit for the Taconic Pkwy and as I was passing Albany - realized I had gone too far. A bit of backtracking and we were there by 11. Had a great time perusing the barns, fondling roving and goggling at yarn and Baby Doll Sheep - They look like Ewoks! I want one! or two! We had a couple of good sammiches, crispy-cruchy onion rings, yum, and I only bought enough yarn for a scarf of my very own. I'm using Ms. Zimmerman's Gull pattern for my first lace attempt.
I was a good girl and I had a great time. I only found two squares on my RBB card but I'm fine with that - it was the experience that counts. Nornspinner pulled in and parked right behind us when we got there and we ran into a bunch of other RBB players that were not on my card. Good, good times.
This is the Grumble's new hat, sorta rastafarian - though not planned that way. She likes it, thats all that matters. Simple striped hat knit about 1/3 too big so I could go back with a smocking stitch, I liked making this one.*sigh* I got a new job this week - I give my notice at the Mega-Bookstore today. For those of you wondering, I'll be working here starting in two weeks! Whee!

Yay! Yay! Yay! I am so happy for you! And for me! Discount by proxy! Just kidding. I am super happy for you though. It is SO GOOD to do a job that you like and that speaks to other areas of your life and your passions. You're now one of the lucky ones.
Hi Togbean! Thanks for being the first ever Rhinebeck knit blogger to pose with Swatchy! Nice to meetcha!
About knitting your first lace: I am in the process of knitting my first as well, and it's awesome. Loving it.
About your new job: I hate you and don't want to be your bloggy friend anymore.
(of course I kid...congrats to you!)
Hooray for you! Congratulations on the new job and leaving the empty and soul-less corporate world behind!
Congrats on the new job! BE CAREFUL with your paycheck! Hazards of the job and all . . . :)
It was great to see you this weekend at Rhinebeck, I wish I'd have had more time to chat. I didn't get around much while I was there, but I had fun nonetheless.
