Project postponed

Had to stop working on the lime green cotton sweater that I was knitting. I want to make a kitchen ensemble for the daughter of a friend who is getting married in May. Her primary kitchen color is navy. So I am knitting navy potholders, crocheting a navy rug, and have a navy and white stripped kitchen towel that I will crochet a towel topper onto. Then I want to make a quick baby afghan or two for a church group (United Methodist Women circle) who are collecting baby items to provide to some local charaties. Once I get those projects done I will resume my personal projects that I have already purchased the material for; several cotton sweaters.

First work day post Giles

This post is really not about any of my creations but is more about needing to vent in a safe forum. Giles was the one male in an office of four therapists and two receptionists. Friday was his last day. Today the co-worker and therapist we all tend to call "The Diva" has already struck. She refused to help out with a group so that another therapist could be an hour late. It would mean doing a group of 12 people and she refused. Also she later complained to me that she just couldn't seem to get all of her paperwork done with two new admissions and everything. Yet as she said this she was playing solitaire on her cellphone. I never could understand how you can play a game on the computer, cellphone, or other technological device and still complain that you can't get your work done. I also had two admissions today and had no problem at all getting the paperwork done. It will be very interesting to see how it all works out when the office becomes six females in two weeks when the new therapist come on board.

Did get to do a little more work on the current sweater. Want to hurry up and finish this one so I can work on a couple of charity projects. Darned old powerpoints just keep getting in the way.

Not really been able to get much done the last few days. Have been working on Powerpoints for work now that I have the new computer up and running. Am over three fourths of the way finished with the back of the Lime green cotton sweater. Hopefully since I am getting to leave work early because they are having a special open house I can get to it after I do some work on a Powerpoint presentation on Karpman Drama Triangle.

Why A Blog - 4/17/2009

I decided to set up this blog to sort of track my crochet and knitting projects and share them with anyone of my friends who might be interested. I am currently working on an empire waisted lime green sleeveless knit sweater created from a Lion Brand pattern found at the Lion Brand website. It is made of 100% cotton so it should be easily washable, dryable, and cool enough for the Summer which hopefully will be here soon.
