Today is the day D goes to work as an E-6. I have to say that the extra stripe on his arm looks...well, comfortable, I suppose. Like it belongs there.
As for me, well...I quit my job last week. It had served it's purpose...it gave us a little extra for the holidays, and that was really what mattered. It was by no means a career choice for me. So, today, after the kids and D have departed and I've done the cleaning, I'm going to sit with my needles and turn out a couple of hats. I think that I'm going to start off by donating some to the chemo unit at the local hospital and maybe a few baby beanies to the NICU. I found some 'made with love by ______' labels that I can sew into the back of them so people will at least know who made them and that they really were made with love.
I suppose that's all there is to tell...except that I'm going to try my hand at knitting socks later this week. The pattern looks a bit complicated, but I think it's going to be one of those things that, once I get into it, will become easier to understand when it's in my hands and I'm actually working it.
Anyone want a pair of funky knee socks and a hat to match?
