I had a great holiday: no cooking to speak of and certainly no cleaning, though yesterday I had to shovel out my yarn “room” (large closet) out of necessity!! My oldest daughter, Laura, got a job on Wednesday and started Saturday, so she is on Cloud Nine, which puts all of us right up there with her – if you know what I mean (no teen angst for miles :)).Â
Laura is coming to my work in another couple of weeks to do the Annual Employee Craft show. We did it last year and had a blast. She makes beautiful jewelry, and this year we are making scarves. She went to work yesterday and her new boss bought two scarves and two full sets of jewelry (necklace, bracelet, and earrings!) — see Paragraph I, subsection B to ascertain reaction of said daughter. Woo Hoo!! This is money coming from a source other than moi!!!!  Je suis sur le Nuage Neuf, aussi.
Because of all of the above activities, I have not been working too much on my regular knitting. I am hoping to get back to it very soon. I want/need to finish Red Anya — I am on the front raglan shaping, so just have the sleeves. I have finished both sleeves up to the raglan shaping on the Woman’s Continental, so just have the finishing on that — the finishing is significant, but it is “where the fun resides” on that project.Â
PS — Teen Knit Night: the newbiest knitter of the group finished her first scarf and is starting another. Ain’t life grand!?!
What a delightful post — good news everywhere! My congratulations to Laura, on both the job and the sales, and to you on your knit-enabling. Life is grand, indeed!

Sounds like things are falling into (a good) place! I have a little ways to go before I see that kind of happiness;)
