So busy I forgot to post
I've been busy, but not busy sewing this time. Since the last time I've posted, I had a job interview, a job offer, and a first week of work. I also started my NaKniSweMo project, and I'm almost done with the body. As I said, I've been busy, so this this is the only picture I have of it:

It's the Cable-Down Raglan from Interweave Knits, Spring 2007. The yarn is worsted weight, 80% Alpaca/20% Nylon, recycled from some sweater from a thrift store. I had a few issues with determining how much I had, even after I bought a kitchen scale to weigh my yarn. I've figured I have about 860 yards, which should be enough to lengthen the sleeves to wrist-length. Being almost done with the body, and having used maybe about half of my yarn, I'm not too worried.

With the new job, I'm not sure when I'll find time to knit, at least not until I'm trained and actually working. As it is now, I'm trying to make a good first impression, and with my boss being out of town and nobody training me... it's a little frustrating spending 8 hours a day at a computer not really doing anything but still looking productive.
