Bath Soak and Chocolate!
Thanks for the RAOK, Collette! Thank you so much, everybody for the RAOK. The coolest thing is that crabby folks at work are wondering, what is up with the mysterious packages for Aggie...
It's been a very, very trying past 2 weeks to say the least. The job search blitz has begun, and the great thing about being older and wiser is knowing the value of a good, strategic plan of exit. This job is not worth the ulcer I am creating in my 30s! I can't say how soon I'll be leaving or how long I will stay where I am, but let's just say the wheels are in motion.
Oh yeah, the knitting! I'm currently working on the Hoodie, got about 5 in. of the front done just knitting on the subway. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to just sit and knit. But fueled by the giant Lindt chocolate bar I scarfed in one sitting, I also managed to knit up a black mohair scarf in one night using Jumbo size 50 needles! They're like knitting with turkey basters. I'm getting batteries for my camera; pics to follow...
And on the good karma front, I met Lindsay, a photography student at the School of Visual Arts who is exchanging her awesome photo services for knitting lessons! She's all excited, and can't wait to start. I sent her out on a yarn mission to Knit NY and she's ready to learn...yaaay!
Glad you like your RAOK - nothing like chocolate to get you going!

What a cool trade! I would love to trade knitting lessions for something nifty!

What a fun RAOK.
50's sound huge. I was using 35's and those where huge I can't fathom 50's. The knitting trade is wonderful. I hope you enjoy it.

Hi Aggie! Very nice (and yummy) RAOK :)
Can't wait to see pics of the hoodie and the mohair scarf--I love mohair!
Take care!

I actually laughed out loud @ the turkey baster reference. I've been thinking about making my own knitting needles and was trying to think what size I could make that I don't already have.. I think I'll stick to the 17 and 35.
Ditto, I can't wait to see the scarf and Hoodie!
