It’s been a crazy couple of weeks! I hardly know where to begin. The new job is officially in full swing. It’s definitely a ‘real’ job. It’s taking the best hours of the day and most of my mental stamina. Add in my teaching responsibilities and last weekend’s craft fair and I’ve had zero time for lounging and knitting. It’s adulting on steroids around here.
The good news is…the efforts have paid off on all fronts. The craft fair was successful! I’m hoping to give you more details this weekend! And, despite taking all my energy, there is some satisfaction in getting back to work. I like feeling like a ‘productive’ part of society again, even if it requires getting dressed every. single. day.
And, there’s even been a tiny bit of knitting.
Gone are the days of two day sleeves, instead I’ve got a two week sleeve. But I’ve got a sleeve. One more to go. The beauty of bottom up sweaters is how quickly they come together in the end. Once the sleeves are attached, the yoke practically knits itself!
Normally, this is the part where I would say something foolishly optimistic like ‘I can have this done in a week!’ Except, I also said I wouldn’t be christmas knitting. I knew that was ridiculous the second I said it. And so, this is happening as well…
Fingers crossed that it’s only a momentary distraction! I would love to be wearing my new sweater for Christmas dinner :) That’s totally doable. A full work schedule, classes to teach and a sleeve, a yoke, a steek and a button band…11 days. I got this!

I think you’re right! That said, I will totally wear my steeked sweater even if I haven’t finished the button band :) Almost is good enough!

At least I don’t have to wear clean clothes :) The one small benefit of working in a Chem lab!

Good luck! Please, borrow my knitting mojo, I don’t have any sort of optimistic aspirations like that!

Good to hear things are going well even if adulting isn’t what it’s cracked up to be
