Okay, that is so strange. I opened your blog page and thought "How did she get a picture of my Bad Penny (BP)?". LOL. I am doing the same pattern in the Cara Mia in the same shade of Coral. I am using the Cara Mia in Cranberry as the CC. I will be curious to see how similar our BPs are in the end (I, for one, can't help but to modify the heck out of everything).

how funny! nad isn't that great yarn. it works up sooo soft. i love
it. i think i'm going to make the whole thing in a solid color. i
didn't see anything that struck my fancy as a contrast and i like solids
anyway. i know what you mean about adapting patterns. i for one amd
going to make the sleeves a bit longer and i;m going to repeat the eyelet
pattern from the bottom edge on the sleeves and maybe on the neckline
i'll decide later if that would be too much. it is a fun project though
and so fast. glad you saw the photo! just tells you that great minds
think alike :) have a great day. lesley

it's a sad day

for starbucks when a great manager resigns because he's getting too much crap from his boss. a shitton of crap from the guys upstairs and not a whole lot of help. we like to try to set our team up for success. but we don't try to set them up for failure. and that is what has been happening! i'm probably gonna hear something 'cause i'm posting this but it's got to be said. since april i've been working in the second busiest store in central florida. until recently we were beating out all the others in our district. this means we have to work hard. really hard. just to keep up. forget about getting ahead. keeping things shiny clean? no way. shoot for passable. cause you can't really do much else. there's not enough time it is impossible to stay on top. when you're understaffed. when you can't get labor hours. when you have only 2 team members in the store for 2 hours at a time! you barely get things done. and the bosse's boss. well she laid...
