Not Much Knitting Going On

Still haven't heard back about my interview, will give them to Friday then contact them. Don't hold out much hope, but just about my biggest pet hate is not being contacted after an interview when the outcome is not positive. I just think it's plain rude and cowardly. Giving a bit of feedback could make all the difference for the person next time round. Well that's my vent.

Been looking at lots of patterns, but no actually knitting much. Still working on the pink poncho but haven't even finished the back yet.Just doing a few rows on the train when I get a seat that's not too quishy. Thinking of a caterpillar, the cotton blend yarn is only $1 at spotlight at the moment. Thinking Teddy Bears, Jaywalkers too.

Thinking thinking.

Do I go to Spotlight with most of the yarn on sale - two lots of car rego in 3 weeks

Good news this week , my daughter got honours in her first dancing exam. Her teacher is thrilled to have an honours student in her second year of offering exam work. So very proud of her.

At a Lose

Well the interview has a left me at a lose. There were no awkward moments, I answered all the questions, felt pretty good. But is was lucky to last fifteen minutes, pretty strange with 3 people asking questions, probably only six in all between them. Either I didn't answer with enough detail or possibly it was a claytons interview and the position has been filled already. Well I will know within two weeks, but not holding my breathe.

What do I knit now, I like to have two projects going, might go back to the moss stitch baby hat & shoes.

Inca Jumper Finished

It seemed to draw out at the end, but is now done.



and a close up of the pattern, very easy but did muck it up when shaping the neck, but both sides match, so I don't think it will be noticed.It's little greener in true life and very heavy.

Interview tomorrow,gotta go refresh what I actually said in the application, it's been awhile.

An Interview

I made it to interview stage for the government job I applied for, so I'm very excited about that. The weekend will be spent preparing, as it's on Monday and no doubt be lots of ugly questions and a panel of 3. It also has become important as my temp assignment has been shortened by a few months. Back to the Inca jumper.

Purple

>You Are a Purple CrayonYour world is colored in dreamy, divine, and classy colors.You hold yourself to a sky high standard, and you are always graceful.People envy, idolize, and copy you without realizing it. You are an icon for those who know you.And while it is hard to be a perfectionist, rest assured it's paying off!
Your color wheel opposite is yellow. While yellow people may be wise, they lack the manners and class needed to impress you.

I did even rig it......and it came out my favourite colour. Sounds a bit over the top to me though.

And more purple.............I've joined the Purple Boot Brigade, $30 goes towards breast cancer education and awareness. I've been waiting 3 months for them.

Yes this is still a knitting blog in case you were beginning to wonder. The Inca jumper has a back, two sleeves and nearly a completed front. My train project is the Lion Brand Hooded Baby Poncho. Lost amongst my stash for about six months, something simple and fast (hopefully) and a Christmas present covered.

A Website worth a mention

A lady at work has a friend who is about to start up a website to help people going through trauma from accident or illness. It has the support of the Cancer Council and the gentleman will be appearing on the Sunrise program soon. He himself has recently become a paraplegic through an accident.

" imthinkingof you.com.au is a purpose built integrated care system that combines SMS technology and the internet to dramatically improve the way you manage and cope during a trauma or crisis."

A great idea I think

A Moon, more Flowers & a Pig in the Grass

HoneyBun my 5 year old cavy in the grass grazing , she has been living in a dog crate for a week as she has a bacterial infection in her feet from the wire in the bottom of her hutch. About 6 months ago she got a new hutch, a fancy two storey job, but she wouldn't use the top floor, so was spending more time on the wire which I think was a courser than she was used too. By the time we realised there was a problem, it was quite advanced, as guinea pigs are quite good at hiding illness. I tried different antiseptics to no avail. Guinea pigs don't tolerate antibiotics, so the vet has prescribed an antibacterial soak followed by zinc cream. We'll see how it goes, she is quite happy and not suffering at all, devouring food by the truck load. We've renovated the hutch, second floor is now a ground floor and the wire removed from the bottom. Fingers crossed there won't be a problem as the hutch is quite heavy and hopefully will stay firmly on the ground. She can really romp in the grass now.

More flowers

and the eclipse on Tuesday.

On the knitting front, the Inca jumper is coming along slowly. Hoping Inca will still be $2.40 at Spotlight tomorrow , and there is enough in the right colour for a vest for Dad.

Other than that a bit of spring cleaning.
