Cool Friday

I have now banished the Dragon sock to a spot next to my bed, pending further decision and the unlikely appearance of the other skein. and I've started another sock, using the Here be Wyvern pattern, with Opal sock yarn. Don't ask me what number this is - I lost the label a long time ago and I don't know if this color combo is still available. It's nice to be able to work with patterned Opal that is all dots and not stripes of "fair isle" design. I learned how to do provisional toe cast on and I really dig this method - makes it so easy to do toe-up socks. I'm used to figure 8 cast on, but it is rather fiddly and takes a bit of concentration to do well. This sock is progressing rather well - cast on last night and worked on it all through morning local news and catching up on the blogs.

I need to take care of some business at MVA and hope to make good progress there should there be a long line (although Friday is supposed to be not as busy - we'll see). I've already got mother's sock cast on and waiting for the Wyvern pattern to commence on it. Let's see if I can get these completed by end of the weekend - that would be nice, eh? I can always dream . . .

About those two job interviews - well, no word. I sent my code sample to the non-profit association but never received a reply to my email. I think I probably write them off. Still no word from the consulting company, so I'm assuming I didn't make the cut. Oh, well, next Monday I'll call up one or two temp agencies and see about getting an appointment.
