Jeans and Sneakers

Sleeve #1 of Sonnet is done.  It’s about frickin time.  I didn’t even know last night that I’d already increased as much as I’d needed to.  I ended up increasing another set before realizing that I had done one too many.  Then I ripped out all 8 rows, instead of just the one row with the increases. . .only to knit them again to get the piece to 16.5 inches.  I know, I’m SMRT.

So I cast on the second sleeve and I’m going to knit until the begining of the increases tonight, and then get some sleep.  Hopefully, if all goes well, I can finish sleeve #2 tomorrow, and sew them both on, finishing the sweater in enough time for Mother’s Day.  I suck at planning.

Looks like I won’t be spinning for awhile, I’ve got so many projects, my mom’s lace shawl still, the applejack (jaywalker) socks, then a pair of socks with the wrong black yarn to test out the pattern I’ll ultimately use for the right black yarn for Rob’s socks.  Then another friend’s socks, socks for my mom and for myself, and the hat.  I’d be surprised if I get that hat done this summer, it seems like things keep coming up.  But socks are comparatively quick, so we’ll see.

My boss kind of ruined my weekend today, by telling me that we’re going to be having personal review meetings on Monday, and if I had any questions or anything I wanted attention brought to, to think about it over the weekend, and bring it up on Monday.  Fantastic.  The only question I can think of is, “are you going to fire me?”  They fired the last girl that worked there after FOUR MONTHS.  I’ve only been around for 2.  Apparrently she kept messing up really badly, but I’ve messed up a bunch of times, and I worry.  So now I’m concerned about the job.

But I don’t recall them saying anything about their last girl having any computer/design/internet/website skills, so maybe I’m a better catch.  Maybe I’ll last 6 months.  :[

Wish me luck on the completion of sonnet.  I probably won’t post at all tomorrow, unless I get it done, in which case you can expect pictures.
