On The Road Again
Sorry, no pictures with this entry.
I've had a job change recently and am now traveling a good bit for work and I'm not at home. I'm in Indianapolis, Indiana and I don't have my camera with me. I love the new job. I've taken a position with a company that I worked for in the past. I always liked working for this company and saw a job posting on their website that I thought was a good fit. I applied and was hired. Last week was my first week back and I felt like I had gone "home" (even though I wasn't home, I was in Philadelphia).
On the knitting side. I've been working on my Christmas grab bag gift and it is going well. I really am happy with the way it is turning out. Sorry, I won't be able to post pictures of it until after Christmas, so you have a long wait to see it. I am working on another pair of Wendy's toe-up socks that I'm making out of Austerman Step. The colorway is shades of brown and off white and I'm making these socks for DH. I also started a pair of Bayerische socks and only have the ribbing done on one of them. I'll post pictures when there is something to look at. I'm making them out of Louet Gems in cream that I purchased from the Loopy Ewe. You should check out their site sometime. They have great sock yarn that I don't see in the yarn shops that I visit. Their prices are reasonable and their shipping service is very fast. They always personalize your order and put in a nice personal note and some little freebies.
I had a nice surprise waiting for me when I arrive home last weekend. DD ordered a pair of handmade glass circular knitting needles and had them sent to my house for me. They are really lovely! I can't wait to knit with them. I'm thinking that a lace project will need to be started this weekend so that I can try them out. We saw these needles at MDSW but I didn't purchase a pair, I just coveted them. Now I have a pair of my very own.
DD's birthday was Monday and she, her hubby and the girls stopped over to visit. We went to the mountains for Memorial Day weekend (a yearly occurrence) and I stopped at Reiland's Farm and Shop to pick up some fiber as an addition to DD's birthday gift (see my post from May 07 for the rest of the birthday present details). DS turned 21 years old yesterday (yep, their birthday's are 2 days apart). He also received his birthday present from Reiland's. He was with me when I went to the shop and picked out some nice llama yarn spun from the fiber of Penny and Danaka. I love the fact that you get to know the name of the llama that gave up their fiber for your knitting pleasure. He has enough off white llama to make a vest.

Spin or knit? Knit or spin?
I don't know what to do with my precious hour of free time in the evening! If I had four hands I could spin and knit at the same time.
Hey girl,
I'm guessing your new job and the new house must have you really busy. Let me know when you are all settled in so I can visit. The house sounds wonderful and I can't wait to see it.
