Since my last post, many things have happened.  First, I quit my job.  I got a very good offer at another company, and after much soul-searching, and career planning, I decided to take it.  Today is my last day here.  (sadness)

 

However, since I was leaving, I had to make sure that I lived up to my promise of making a hat for a co-worker who has been very supportive of all my knitting adventures.  He is very happy with it, and even likes to wear it inside out sometimes!

I also finally got around to making the fishie hat to go with my butterfly hat.  Unfortunately, it didn’t come out as big as I had anticipated (largely due to me strangling the yarn in the back, creating ‘waves’ on the front)

I now only have two things on the needles, and both are big.  One is the train scarf that, because it is a scarf, NEVER ENDS!  I am almost halfway done with the second (and final) passenger car, then I need to do the caboose, then I’m DONE!  (although I’m not sure that will ever happen…)

I also put my sweater back on the needles.  The length wasn’t right, and I have PLENTY of yarn left over, so I’m going to keep at it until I run out of yarn.

Jason has asked for fingerless mitts, so I think that will be my next ‘travel’ project… we’ll see!
