I'm Still Here

The shop's finally closed and I haven't had Internet in weeks now. I feel so disconnected. I've been busy looking for a job and taking care of all the loose ends from Yarnology. I did find time to tour the local knit shops last week. A girl can't be without new yarn for long. As if I don't have enough yarn already. Stephanie, Cory and myself went up the The Scarlet Skein last week and I bought several hanks of Malibrigo. I'm in the process of swatching and designing the perfect sweater for my new yummy yarn. Then...I found myself at Bettys where I found a fabulous pattern, Walk in the Woods Jacket, that calls for Manos. Score!! I have a ton of Manos in my stash and wouldn't you know it, the pattern calls for 16 colors. I had most of what I needed but I began my search for the missing colors on Saturday. I visited Ann at Yarns at the Adobe where I found 2 wonderful colors, then on to Betty in SLO. I found a pretty green there, and then ventured up to the Ball and Skein where I found 2 more great colors. That was a much needed yarn shop fix. I started the sweater last night. I'll post pictures as soon as I get my Internet all figured out. Anyway, I must go search for a job. Does anyone know how to get into a management position at Starbucks? That's another entry in itself.
