It's been somewhat of a grueling week for me. Since my boss took her first true vacation in over a year, I've been working lots of LONG hours at the ice cream shop. Fortunately, she hired an additional worker that can do what I do, so I haven't had to cover the entire week by myself. But it's been long enough for my poor feet and right hand. After a winter off of scooping ice cream, I've had to rebuild the muscles in my scooping arm in a hurry. And standing on my feet for 9 or more hours at a time . . . Uggh!
However, in the little dribs and drabs of spare time, I've been plugging away at the Cable Down Raglan. While I can't say I LOVE knitting this sweater as much as the long lost and loudly lamented Dickinson Pullover, it has been a fun knit. I'm finally on the waist cables and looking forward to working on the sleeves.
I'd love to show you a picture of my progress. I had every intention of showing you a picture of my progress. Alas, the server is giving Blogger conniption fits and interrupting the connection incessantly at the moment. So you'll just have to look at the magazine picture in the previous posts and just superimpose the beautiful green yarn in place of the aqua and use your imagination.
In the meantime, I need to get ready for the last day of Boss Lady's vacation.
Feet, don't fail me now!

Sheesh - I'd be crippled for days if I stood for 9 solid hours. Hang in there!
That's a lot of scooping and standing! Are you eating it too - you know - to keep your strength up?
Can't wait to see YOUR version of the sweater!!!
Hard to begrudge the boss her first vacation in forever, but I cannot imagine how tough this week has been. I'm amazed that you are still finding the time to knit!
Happy Last Day Of Vacation!
The Upside is that it's gotta be cool in there...
