I think she was  hurt though, at least this is what I felt from her during the day. She is off today, so things will settle down by the time we meet again. Thursday I’m going to Budapest for a training for my new job: I will work for a loan company.

I’m going to another job interwiev today: someone is looking for a part time assistant. I will keep my eyes open, ad take part-time jobs, until my business will be able to stand alone. I’m not scared, I think I will manage. My only concern is that I have to earn at least the amount of money I’m earning now, to be able to pay the mortgage. Let’s hope for the best.

The pattern can be found in Vogue Knitting Summer 2007. And the yarn is available at Elann.com.

Think linen, cotton, and silk for summer knitting!

I made a list, with pros and contras on both sides. Turned out clearly that I do not want to stay for a minute, even if the future is a bit blurry. So, I will go into my boss’ dreaded office tomorrow, and tell her that I will not stay until the end of the year. I want to quit as soon as possible. Preferably at the end of this month. Although I’m quite sure I will have to wait another month, at least until I teach the new secy.

Poor girl.

Anyway, I will let you know how did it went, tomorrow evening.

As I suspected, the drop-stitch cardi is a dream knit. It is going so fast, I feel that I can finish it next week. I have finished the back, and the left front is nearly done. It will be finished today, and I will cast on for the right front immediately. Tomorrow or the day after I will buy the zippers for the hood and the front. I think I will skip the zips on the sleeves. I don’t think I will need them at all, even they are decorative.

And what could entertain the knitter more than a delicate lace shawl. Knitting beside the pool. Or even better: the sea. There, if, you have a sea around.

Now, that the weather is getting better and better here, and Sára is starting the – ‘Let’s go to the swimming pool, Mom!’ – chanting, I’m starting to think about some summer knitting.

Not that I would be able to finish anything FOR this summer. But who cares, summer will be next year too.

So I just take my time and finish my sweaters first. Then I might look for a nice cotton or bamboo cami. Or I just knit some socks, on those warm and long summer evenings.

Gosh, there is so much nice things to knit! When will I have the time and yarn to make all what I want? No question that I have to make a lot of them. Even if they doesn’t fit me, I can do it for my family, for Christmas! What a great excuse to knit!!

Here are my favourites from the Spring issue: http://www.interweaveknits.com/preview/2008_spring.asp#Aleita-Shell

- Aleita shell: this is not available in my size, but I think my sister-in-law would love it too.

- Linen trumpet skirt: I’d love to do it with linen, I guess that would be great for a skirt. I don’t think that I can afford that amount of yarn though.

- Katharine vest: Definitely will make this. I think I even have a great yarn for this. I will make a swatch with it to see.

I’m not the swatch making type though. Although I understand that I should make a tiny little swatch, so my measures would be accurate, I can’t force myself to do it. I just have to cast on right away. After about an inch or two I see if I’m about the correct measurement or not, and I usually have to frog the thing once or twice. Silly, I know. I can’t help it.

I will finish the back today, and maybe I will cast on for one of the fronts. I’m a bit scared about the hood part, because it involves short rows, which could be tricky with this drop-stitch pattern. We’ll see.

Anyway, this is going so fast, and it is such a fun knit up till now! I’m so glad that I’m able to make it with the recommended yarn!

Sára is getting better, and we are going back to the GP on Thursday. I hope she can go to the kindergarten from next week. She has a great time home, but I’m sure she misses her friends. One of her little friends phoned us yesterday, just to say she misses Sára. How sweet.
