thanks to everyone for wishing me good luck with the new job. i spent most of my last day training my replacement. all that talking just made me so tired. but i gave her my email address and told her to mail me if anything came up. so far, nothing. and my boss was so sweet and nice and i really was sad to leave.

but i got to spend a few days at home with my parents. that was a whole lotta fun as i always love a good trip home. sadly i didn't do any yarn shopping, but i really don't need anymore yarn, now do i? i actually did steal some of my mom's stash though, since she has no time to knit lately. i figure i will make her something nice with her own yarn. yeah. i gave me mom her scarf i made and she loved it. i lamely forgot to take a picture or her with it, though. well next time i promise. and we went to michaels in a last ditch attempt to find a ribbon for the baby set. my mom chose a purple gingham ribbon (i am not a huge fan of gingham as it makes me think of country picnic tableclothes) and i made her sew it in (cause i suck) and it turned out cute, i think. now i swear these will be the last pics of this damn set and no more lavender for awhile.


this is the whole kit n caboodle set. our friend is due in the next week or two, so
this set is right on time.


and a close up of the ribbon

i also finished a crotchless glove (as my friend calls them) for my mom. the other one will be completed soon. too lazy to take a pic so i will leave you with a gratuitous shot of my poor doggie getting a bath. he's the cutest!



oh and i got the new vogue knitting (it's alright) and i saw the summer interweave preview and it looks really good! i usually hate summer issues but this one looks like a winner. anyhow- hope everyone had a good monday and tuesday. i'll be back with job updates soon!
