used up all my knitting in the last post...

I seem to be at lose ends lately. I know it's because of the work situation and the uncertainty that revolves around it. Plus it's hard to say goodbye to such a great job situation. I'm staying around a bit longer - at least through to mid September - on contract, and we'll see what happens after that. I'm hot and heavy on the job search, and hoping to find something even closer to home, but we'll see.

It's quite pretty and very comfortable to wear, and I have enough of my own crystals that I could make more of them. Christmas presents perhaps?
