Not Knitting

There is not a whole lot of knitting activity going on at my house these days. Rather, I have been extremely busy tech editing lots of patterns for some very creative designers. I'm planning to clue you in on some of them in a future post. For the moment, I feel like I have traded my needles for rulers, calculators, red pens, pdf files and coffee.


As of last Friday, DH joined the multitudes of layed off workers across the country. Times are v-e-r-y tough in the business jet industry. So, also instead of knitting, I have helped him update, reword, fine tune, and tweak his resume. The first print is being hand delivered to a hiring manager tomorrow. We are firm believers in the power of personal networking, and we feel at a disadvantage since we have lived here less than a year. We do have cautious optimism that he will find a new position before the severance runs out, and we are thankful for his military pension, but we sure hope that we don't have to live on it! 

So far, he's not bored at home. The weather was nice so he went fishing yesterday.

He was proud of this big trout!

He made it home before the rains came, and when the weather turned nasty to our south and east, we saw this double rainbow from our back porch. I have yarn in all those colors. And someday I will find time to use it.

I never grow tired of rainbows.

I wish your husband luck on finding a job and in catching more fish like that one. It's a beauty!
