I’ve got news….hmmm…which do you want to hear first?

How about sock news?

I can’t believe that I started this on Tuesday – and only have been working on it during my commute (I really love taking the train!).  I’m ready to turn the heel – so I think I should have this done by the end of the weekend.  And knitting this has reminded me how much I love Lorna’s Laces.  After I knit the first sock, I bought a bunch of this yarn that I still have in the stash.  I think I want to use it for the next pair of socks!  I think I have solids – a red, and a green.  Any ideas?

OK, want more news?

See the red star?  That’s Seaport Yarn.  I hear it is an amazing store.  And guess what!  Pretty soon I’ll be able to check it out myself very easily.  Why? (you ask)….well, see the orange star?  In a few weeks I’ll be working there….yes!  I got a job offer today!  I don’t want to say much yet because I haven’t a) accepted it formally and b) quit my current job.  But wohoo!  I’m very excited – it’s a great opportunity – great company, and although it is a slightly longer commute….when you commute 2 hours each way, another 20 minutes isn’t really that big of a deal.  And there is just something about working in New York – I’m just beyond excited. 

So tomorrow, I’ll accept the offer formally, and then on Monday I’ll resign.  I’m going to take a week off between jobs so I can unwind, and recharge….I’m so excited!  I wonder how many yarn stores are in the general area?
