A Step Forward, Two Steps Back

I've suspended work on the Norge to get the shawl-collared vest started, which will be made out of Plymouth Galway. This vest will replace the one that I'd made when I was much skinner and very much a newbie knitter. I believe it was my first steeking project. Now, of course, I've put on a few pounds, and this vest is too snug for me, plus it is rather holey.

It's slow-going, though, because I keep making a few goofs. The latest mishap seems to be two purled stitches in what should be p1, k1b ribbing. I can't just let this go, firstly because it's in the first pattern row, and secondly, it would bug me to no end; since it's very early on, it's easiest to just ribbit back so as to fix it.

Meanwhile, I'm looking for another job. I got laid off due to a contract loss and no work available elsewhere in the company. I've put up a link to my resume on the right. Right now, I'm looking for a FT programming position, in DC or Montgomery County. I could do Northern Virginia, if public transportation is nearby. I live waaaay out here in Bowie, and Bruce doesn't want me driving by myself late at night. So, if you hear of positions for which I may be qualified, you're welcome to call my attention to these positions and forward the resume. I'll notice that it will be going through another revision, as my DORS counselor has suggested.

Kai's visiting grandma and grandpa tomorrow, and since I've got some free time on my hand, I'm going over to spend time with them.
