One Crazy Fiber Lady

Another week, another post.  There’s been alot going on.  Including spending Saturday with our favorite BronxGirl to celebrate her birthday.  Met/Saw again some wonderful knitting/blogging people.  It really was a wonderful time.

I spent the remainder of the weekend cramming and reading up on VB.Net so I could sparkle on a tech test Monday.  The results came in today.  I did very well on one portion, so-so on another and downright poorly on a third.  Oh well.  Not up to snuff for the senior position the company was looking for so that option is over. 

It isn’t all bad news.  I’d told my headhunter my concerns regarding the law firm who then, very diplomatically I might add, communicated those with the firm.  Tuesday afternoon the I got a call from the fellow I’d interviewed with at the law firm.  He wanted to answer any further questions I might have had and to clarify the misconception I had.  After getting the no today from the preferred place, I realized that any company that would be calling/meeting to give me more information must really want me.  I gave the associated recruiter the go-ahead.  I would like to work there.  There’s flexibility, independence and room for growth.  And hell, if it sucks, I’m not married to them and can always move on with the explanation that I took the position wasn’t what it was billed to be.  I should hear tomorrow.  The hiring fellow needs to get signoff for upping the salary range for the position to meet my requirements.  Good huh?  I might just be able to go back on Monday and give notice.  That would be sweet!  4 days of vacation (kids are off this week) and then end it.  Ahhh.

Yes, there’s been knitting!!!

Yesterday, sandwiched by a long outing to the mall, I started and finished this sock.  It is my standard recipe toe-up (you can see its mate started), on US1 over 52st.  The yarn is STR Lightweight in Red Rock Canyon colorway that I bought last spring.  Don’t think I blogged it though, but I remember ordering it after reading about the STR event at MDSW.  The couple of clicks was way easier than standing in line.  Remind me to show my MDSW 2007 t-shirt that I ordered off their website a few weeks ago

Also on the needles still is the Essential Tank.  I’m just shy of the armpits still though getting awfully close.  I really should work on it, but the whole SOS2007 has me distracted by socks.  Not to mention the timesuck that is Ravelry.  I finally got my invite on Friday and have been terribly distracted!  My name over there is, not surprisingly, crazyfiberlady.  Go figure.  I’ve opted not to upload all my finished projects, but like others, will be treating as tabular rosa and will start new there. 

That’s about it for now.  I have to go fish the monkeys out of the pool so they can go to bed.

Craft on!
