Currently looking for a different job. Found out that I didn’t make it to the next round of the hiring process at two places I was excited about. Then read the beginning of this chapter and not sure if I have ever related to something I read, so quickly.

Joy of knitting outside is watching the birds. Especially the hummingbirds! #Hummingbird #BirdSky #BackyardBirding

Had to work a short shift today, but glad I am getting a little time to relax. It’s been a long week, and sock knitting outside, on a lovely Spring day is exactly what I need. #KnitSky #SockKnitting

"Making it up?" said Marvin, swivelling his head in a parody of astonishment, "Why should I want to make anything up? Life's bad enough as it is without wanting to invent any more of it."

For #showmeyourknits this week, it was something inspiring. This yarn and pattern arrived for me on Friday. A very, belated birthday gift that I am excited to cast on. Please don’t tell my WIP’s. #Knitting #Knitsky

Doing the #100dayproject and making progress on the hexie quilt I started four years ago. Goal is to make 10 hexies a day or put a group together. Here are the 71 hexies I made days 1-7, and the diamond of hexies made on day 8. #quilt #EnglishPaperPiecing #Hexies #EPP

My Olympics project was to finish hand-quilting a quilt I had started a year ago. I had stopped after quilting most of the center because I was enjoying it so much I didn’t want the process to end. Last stitch went in while watching the closing ceremonies. Time to trim and put on the binding!

If I don’t take a picture the first time I knit outside each year, does it even happen? #KnitSky #SockKnitting

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." -- Arthur C. Clarke, born #OTD 1917
