I got a new temp job today!
I'm currently working at a call center and we're ... too efficient, so my last day on this assignment is next week. So the temp agency dutifully decided that they were going to set me up with interviews for my next gig. Well, today I accepted a new thing! I'll be starting the day after Labor Day. It's fully remote, with the option to go in to the office. I'm gonna opt to train in-office just to get out of my house. But I think it's gonna be really good for me - it's with a great healthcare related nonprofit agency.
I started a new knitting project tonight! I've started making another shawl - this one striped. Here it the link to the design on Ravelry. I'm doing it in much the same color scheme - the yarn isn't exactly the same, but I did my best with Cascade 220. The original pattern uses the designer's own yarn brand, but there is currently nothing in her online yarn shop, so I couldn't figure out exactly what weight. I figured worsted would be good - I was debating between worsted weight and fingering. I tend to knit really tightly, so a slightly thicker weight isn't the worst thing.
I don't know how comfortable I would have been dropping ... $100 ... on yarn if I didn't have another gig lined up, but honestly I'd rather have enough skeins so that I won't run out. I might have some leftover, but that's ok. I'm dutifully saving stashbuster projects.
In other news, I'm at a weird reading standstill. I don't know why - I am obsessed with the novel I'm reading and I have plenty of other books going - but I think I just need something fast. In a discord server the other day a bunch of people and I were talking about cozy mysteries, and it kind of feels like a genre I would like to try out both as a writer and a reader. So I just bought a really cheap e-book tonight. I'm also sort of in the mood for fanfic, but I feel like "cozy mystery romance" is a lot of what I seek in fanfic anyway, so there's that.
It is far too late if I'm going to get up early to do audio editing before I go to work. Blech.
