Sorry for the lack of news, but it has been a rough week. I have sad news for all of you. On Thursday my job was eliminated due to budget cuts. This will be a hard time for Joel and I, but I know we will make it through it. So we will see where life takes us now!
Sunday we were able to go visit the Apple Orchard Alpacas again. Two of the other ladies from the Knitting group were there as well. And Joel came, yay! I sadly did not get any fiber or yarn because I am trying to budget myself with the lack of income right now. Here are photos.







Then we went to Joel’s parents for dinner and I cast off of my little denim sweater. YAY! I washed it over night and this morning I did the finishing. Yay!

For a reminder there is info about how I planned out this sweater here.
I am 99% happy with this sweater. The collar is a little big and bunchy, but it will be ok.


That stinks about your job. In the words of Elizabeth Zimmermann, Knit on, with confidence and hope, through all crises.
