in the works

so there is a sweater in the works...

i just don't know what it is yet.

i've been doing research.



i just haven't come to a decision.

you see shirley gifted me with some of her stash yarn a while back.
ok so it was almost a year ago.
and i thought i would make her a sweater.
crazy i know.
why knit a knitter a sweater?
well she weighs all of 95 pounds soaking wet so it will be a fast knit.
and she did gift me the yarn.
and i don't really need the yarn seeing as i can knit at least 6 sweaters from the stash right now. so shirley is getting a sweater.

i'm leaning in a couple of different directions.

i want to knit an interweave sweater cause well i have the subscription so why not right?

so here are the candidates:

1) nantucket jacket
2) wheat-ear cable yoke
3) tangled yoke cardigan
3) climbing vines pullover
4) diminishing rib cardigan

and i also figure the recipient might want a say in said sweater...

so i'll keep you posted.
but in the meantime. what do you think?

Tangled Yoke is my favorite, but of course, it would depend on what the recipient would look best wearing!

what do you do

with a beautiful day off? well we went for a "scent"ic drive out to the beach. we being the dog. and me. she loves to stick her nose out the window and smell where we are going. we took a few lonely roads. ok, so maybe like 10 little roads. i make turns at random when i'm not in a hurry. and can you blame me? just check out the view! it really was spectacular. i would love to live out this way! we finally arrived at north beach in point reyes national seashore. they have a few beaches where leashed pets are allowed. i snacked on a quick lunch of tomatoes, figs, raisins, and almonds (from the farmer's market again) then we headed down to the water. my baby is 12 and she's never seen the ocean. i must be a terrible mother or something. she was just staring and staring. she couldn't get enough. after repeatedly chasing and running away from the waves for a half an hour she was content to just sit back and relax on a dune. and then she stood and told me it was ti...

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...
