Whistle While I Work
I had a pretty good day at my new job location, and semi-new job. I am training program at my work and get to move around to different departments every week or month or so. I am looking for spending a while in this area. At least I'll have lots of practice with AutoCAD until I move to a new group in July.
After my workday I felt rested enough to get some cleaning done before settling on the couch for some TV watching, knitting and reading. Before I started on my chores I decided to make a new playlist on my iPod for that activity. I chose 3 artists and set the iPod to shuffle the songs. Here are a few I remember came up and are particularly good to listen to (with the stereo cranked), while cleaning:
When I Paint my Masterpiece The Band (The Dylan 30th Anniversary Concert is the version I like the best)
Tear It Down, Old Crow Medicine Show
Burn One Down, Ben Harper
stats check:
Current (unfinished) Knitting project(s):
The Windy City Scarf from Stitch N Bitch - This was supposed to be for a friend’s Birthday last March, but I’m not a huge fan of the colors. She approved and I will finish it *soon*.
The Felted Hat from Fibertrends, -A mistake has left me with the wrong number of stitches andI'm not in a hurry to deal with it.
Miss Dashwood from knitty.com - finished the hat, but it doesn't have the flaps yet. I don't think I did the bobbles right, and I really don't care to attempt those freakin' things anytime soon.
Anthropologie inspired capelet from Craftster.org- Another mistake-this one may require me to “frog it” (rip it out for those non-knitters out there.) Or find a way to like with the mistake.
Another felted project.- Details to follow…
The rest of the felted pumpkin I knit my mom for Christmas. She got the bottom half, but I didn’t get the right color to do the stem and vine before I gave it to her. Those parts are both knitted and are waiting for their trip to the washing machine.
Current CD’s which I can’t seem to listen to enough:
remember who i am by Girlyman, and Old Crow Medicine Show Old Crow Medicine Show
Current books I’m reading and hope to finish: High and Mighty by Keith Bradsher, Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt, Stephen J. Dubner
A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson.

You are a very busy woman. I think I will come hang out with you one night and watch you in action.
I thought of you when I saw these online knitters.

Dag that sounded bad! I mean the knitting not the bitching!
