String Bag and a roadrunner

I didn't get the job. Phooey. I might apply for another job there, but it doesn't look like it has any labwork at all, so I'm not sure how happy I'd be.

In other news, I got the String Bag finished and recieved a roadrunner )

I'm not sure I'm actually a roadrunner -- I'm a large, ground-bound cuckoo? -- but I also compared to a bee in the last week, so that's okay. Other people see things about me that I don't.

I just wish that one of those things was 'employeable'.

Augh! Bad bad Editors...

The current issue of Spin-Off had some delightful projects, including a crocheted yarn bag for knitters. Yesterday I bought some linen yarn to make a practice bag, with the idea of maybe making one out of the ingeo fiber I had also purchased, after I spin it.

However, the crochet pattern was written by a beginner, and it shows -- quite obviously. Crocheting in the round can be tricky enough, without bad directions added on top of it.

So I let the Spin-Off editors know...The letter I dashed off )


I'm going to rewrite the directions, because it is a cute little yarn bag, but there really isn't an excuse for such sloppy work from Interweave.
