The Big Knit 2009…
I didn't get as many hats as I wanted to do for The Big Knit but I did some (well 5) and that's all that matters in the end. Since I've started knitting with some form of regularity I've noticed that compared to most I'm a really slow knitter. I'm wondering if speed is something that comes with experience or is this it. I used double pointed needles for the first time whilst knitting one of the hats as an experiment and although fiddly to do, makes the finished object look a lot more "professional" in my opinion. The pink hat shown below was my favourite.
My cat Lemmy.
Whilst on the same subject I stumbled across this video by a French band called Trichot Machine (which is knitting machine in French I do believe) on YouTube. It's made entirely from knitted frames (I can make out around 718 at the end). I bet it took an absolute age to make.
Insult to injury…
There's a Schuh store opening in Sunderland soon and being the rather poor shoe whore that I am I applied for one of the advertised management positions with themselves a few weeks ago. Last Friday I received the rejection letter and joking aside with regards to the choice in typeface used I was aghast. Not only have they mentioned a totally different position to the one that I applied for in said letter, but the spelling and the grammar on it is shocking too (not that I can talk). Hardly an appropriate formal letter in my opinion. Quite glad I didn't get the job now, although I can't deny that I would have liked the discount.
Hello.
