I like pink
Meet my pink socks, aren't they fun? They have kept me busy while other things aren't going too well. I'm impressed how fast they knit up, this was done in a day or so. The Fleece Artist is lovely to knit with, I enjoy it as much as when I knitted my koigu socks.
The IK Winter 2005 previews are up and it is funny to see that four people from my knitting group are in this issue. I just wished there was something I'd actually knit in it though but nothing inspires me much. Generally though, nothing has inspired me in the past few motnhs anyways.
A few days ago I wrote how excited I was to receive a job offer. Since, I have decided to turn it down. Ever since I set foot in this place I have been unhappy, badly treated and my slef-esteem was getting lower each day. It's been two days now that I am home and I feel good, I feel alive, I am smiling again. The people at work have told Carl they are sad to see me go but are happy I didn't accept the offer, they say I will find better elsewhere...
For now I am taking a few days to absorb everything, so much has happened too quickly and I need to take a minute to recuperate. It hurts that I haven't got a job at the end of my schooling but it feels really good to take some time for myself. In a perfect world I'd hop on the train and go to Toronto for the weekend, that's my place to run away too when everything stresses me out. lol! This time I am staying closer to home, actually this weekend there is a Vision show in Montreal (conferences and exhibit for people in the eyewear business). We'll see what good can come out of that.
hugs, very chilly weekend ahead here.
