I'm still here.

I'm getting settled in the new job, but it has been a tough month. Learning a new job with lots more responsibility than I had before while also dealing with the transition of the old boss retiring and a completely unknown new boss coming in has been interesting.

I am finally coming home with some brain power left over for the evening and enough energy to knit. I finished up a magic loop demonstration and a sock-knitting class that I had committed to before I found out about the job change. I'm not going to schedule any more classes, at least for a while. Of course, soccer season will start again soon and that will also limit any knitting classes. Mr. T has agreed to only play for two teams this year -- one in the fall and one in the spring.

My current knitting project is socks for Mittens for Akkol. One of the current goals is to gather enough socks to give one to each child at Christmas when they get their bag of candy. When I think of how much I spoil my child at Christmas (who I am kidding, I spoil him year round) it makes me want to knit even more. I like knitting for this group, because I am sure that the kids are getting the items. I'm working on socks for the older boys. Pictures to come later.
