Good News

I've been having a great week so far. Yesterday I landed a temp job; it sounds like an interesting one too and walking distance from my flat. I'm hoping to find out the start date today.

Then I went to my first Stitch n' Bitch, Michelle showing great patience and restraint while I fumbled through my first pass at crochet. As evidence to her great teaching skills I was immediately "hooked" (groan!) and had to have the beginnings of my project wrestled from me way past midnight. As soon as I awoke this morning my fingers were a blur of hook and yarn, like I would freeze to death if I went another day without my scarf. (To my defence there is a definite chill in the air - winter is nearly upon us.)

I begrudgingly put down my hook to start the rewrite and was pleasantly surprised to finish my eighth story. It's a little shorter than I'd have liked but the story wants what it wants. I'm quite proud of it actually, its premise was more challenging than others but I think it works. I'm a little sad to be letting go of the character...

Anyway back to it, the scarf won't crochet itself!
