Decisions, decisions here at Chez Skrillaknits…
ETA: I’m just APPLYING, btw. The picture below is from a Stitches convention. I was pretty darn stoked to be standing with those ladies!
I’m thoroughly liminal these days. Not my favorite state of being but par for the quarterlife course, I’m told. The only things keeping me grounded are a) my very cute but messy bachelorette pad, still a little gem of a sublet, b) Webs, my yarn alma mater, my home nest in the Valley, c) my therapist! and d) last but not least, a certain level-headed hat wearing hottie.
Looks good, no?
Thanks for all the weaving love! I officially have a new favorite comment. I’m thinking of coming up with some sort of formal “thing” for the No Dud Duds in 2008 idea. Sort of loose, like Project Spectrum. I’ve been wearing the crap out of that simple grey stole I made and it really has me thinking differently about what I’m knitting. I like to read a lot of dorky fashion self-help books like What Not to Wear, etc. because I am a real klutz at dressing myself and I also like to learn about proportions of other bodies (I’ve been training for this design position all my life, I’m telling you 😉
Anyhow, the same way Color Me Beautiful forced me to rethink and ultimately edit my closet and yarn stash, I’m hoping to knit judiciously in the future. Jenna would probably point out my lax commitment to this initiative so far as she practically begged me not to rescue this disheveled $2.00 bin ball for a Bandwagon Cowl.
CR
P.S. Guess who was at Webs today? None other than Adrian, Jess and Jared. Practically the knitting A-Team!
OOooohh! Good luck with the job application! I saw the posting on ravelry just a little while ago and it initiated many fantasies about working with yarn- yet I have a biochemistry degree and no design experience- so not qualified.
I am cheering here for you to get the job and to be able to work with Norah Gaughan and we blog readers can live vicariously:P
Good luck with the applications and the decisions. So many exciting possibilities.
I did think of you when I saw the job posting on Ravelry…..sending you lots of good application vibes…
that’s terribly exciting! good luck.
Well, you know what I think! 🙂
i can tell you how long courtney and i tried to figure out what knitting related event would take you to providence after we saw you last sat!
i think you should apply. i totally would. (effing grad school).
oh, and btw, if you get it, you know you have to hire me for freelance 🙂 western mass represent.
I think you’d be perfect for the job. I love your patterns, and I think you have great style.
OMG – you are so perfect for that job! Not that I’m biased or anything…
Holy knitblogger sitings! What is this WEBS place? I thought it was just an online shop. Clearly I am wrong.
Are you yet another knitter on the East Coast (excuse me for my lack of attention)?
How wrong of me is it that I laughed at your $2 ball of yarn? 😉
i totally thought of you when i saw that job posting! sounds perfect for you!
Good luck! I hope you get it, that would be fantastic. Fingers crossed for you!
hahahah, i love that you just referred to liminality. try as you might, a part of you is still a social scientist 🙂
