Sweater progreeeeeess!

on the floor, in bad light.  We've got a back, a left front, and the beginning of a right front!


Gratuitous annoyed cat shot:


Everything looks entirely too small right now.  But 1) I am a small person. 2) I have yet to block these and there is some wool content in the yarn so hopefully that will do the trick.

So I started a list of things I want to do before I die, because I'm a big fat copycat and Kara is cool, but I only had about 3 things.  I think I need to work on setting goals.

Oh jebus, I've started knitting my very first SWEATER!!!  I'm so excited.  Here's the picture from the magazine (Fall 06 Knitscene):



It's called the Central Park Hoodie.  Except it will be in a dark forest green heather (Lion Brand Wool-Ease, cuz I know you wanted to know):



JoAnn's had it for $2.50 a skein. I even made a gauge swatch and everything!  So far all I've gotten done is the ribbing on the back, but it's pretty awesome ribbing if I do say so myself.  I'll post pics as soon as something sweater-like emerges.

This store is sucking out my soul.  I got stuck working in the fitting rooms for probably about 4 or 5 hours today and I was just miserable.  It's such hard work, keeping up with all the customers, running the go-backs, and because you're the only employee who's not behind a cash register, you're the person everyone goes to with questions so you have to help the customers on the floor.  Fitting rooms SUCK.  Every days sucks, really, but working in the fitting rooms is capital letters SUCK.

Whenever someone tells me how about how much time they waste at work or how little they did or how boring their job is, I want to punch them in the face.  I really really do, no exaggeration.   I work my ASS off day in and day out and I get paid jack-shit to do it.  At the end of the day I'm physically exhausted, my feet are numb, and my head is throbbing.  Carpal tunnel from typing?  Eye strain from looking at a computer screen?  Boo freaking hoo.

I just figured out that my kitty is a Maine Coon.  Dear god, I'm going to have to get a bigger apartment just so he will fit.
