Sorry it has been so long since I was last on here. To be honest I have been a little lazy. I think that is mostly due to getting off of work so late everyday that I just want to crash when I do get home. This last weekend was an agony of debate for me and my husband. I applied for a different job, to be totally honest I was not expecting to get offered the job when I applied and interviewed. So imagine my surprise to be offered the job. The pay was were I wanted but the hours worried me. While I wouldn't mind going down to part time hours I need more then 20 hours and with the possibility of some weeks being less and other weeks being more it just caused us both to worry. While I could get away with not working that would be a set back for us and our plans. After getting the job offer we sat down and updated our 5 year plan together, one with where we would be if I took the job and one where we will be if I stay where I am until at least next year. We also have another one for where we will be if I have to quit my job in the fall when I start back into college full time. Which I will not lie the idea of having a part time job at that point does look really good. In the end I decided to decline the job offer for a job that I would love and stay at my current job. Which really bummed me out since I have really come to hate my job and can't stand the panic attacks that it causes me to have most mornings before I go into the office. Yet the money is okay and it will allow us to pay off two cars before may. So as you can guess my fall will be crazy busy with working full-time, college and working on my hand knitting masters. I am hoping to have been able to start on the third and final level at this point. My goal is to be completely done with the master knitter program by early 2017.
So here is my up-date on the master knitter work that I have finished:
- finished the first book and have written a ruff draft in my note book that still needs to be typed
- finished knitting swatches 6, 7 and 8 and still have to seam swatch 7
- started to edit my history of knitting paper
- made information sheets for swatches 6, 7, and 8.
- started the information sheet for swatch 9
- researched and answered questions 1&2
- started reading second review book.
This week I have several more things that I am hoping to finish, and over the weekend I am hoping to power through 5 things off of my list. And I have to find the time to make some more madeleine for my husband and a coworker. I will have to plan on getting up extra early both days this weekend in order to finish everything that needs to be done including cleaning the house. I will try to write again on sunday to give you a good update of everything that has been accomplished.
