Restless Knitter

The trip went well. Mostly. We came close to having our first major fight due to something that would take too long to explain. The Man fixed the situation for the most part so I no longer want to cut his nuts off and feed them to the wolves. I’m sure you could have done without that tidbit of info, but what would a post from me be if there weren’t some sort of bitching involved.

I hate to sound like a bragger, but in this case that’s just the way it is. The man was not looking for a new job. These people came to him out of the blue. Even after he’d previously turned them down. It’s awesome that a company wants him so badly that they’ve come after him this aggressively. He’ll be taking the job. They’ve given us up to 18 months to relocate so we have quite a bit of time to sell our house and find a new place to live. (Otherwise, we lose out on the relocation package.) In the meantime, The Man will split his time between the California and Georgia offices. What this means for me is more unsupervised yarn buying missing my husband when he’s gone and a lot of frozen pizzas for dinner. I will miss him alot, but this is an excellent opportunity for him so I’ll live with it. I’m proud of all he’s accomplished and I know he’s going to do a great job in his new role.

I started the Cat’s Cradle Long-Ways Scarf before our flight out on Saturday. Instead of using the lace weight called for, I’m using Cherry Tree Hill sock yarn. I have to say I’m a little disappointed with this skein. I’ve run across more than 5 knots and thin spots and I still have over half a skein to work through. Here it is, what little you can make out of it, posing on the table outside our room

If you want to see the other CA pics we took, clicky here. Though the pictures we took don’t do it any justice, it really is a beautiful place. The last night we were there, we drove to the beach and had dinner at a restaurant along the shore. The view was absolutely gorgeous. I could have stared at the moon reflecting off the water for hours.
