Yep, I'm at work

We've been in Lexington for 9 months, and I've clearly been neglecting my blog. Please join me for a bit of rambling.

One thing about temping and waitressing after you graduate from college, is that you tend to experience a lot of ennui and general malaise about your life. Something in the vein of, I could be doing so much more with the abundance of energy and talent I have, and instead I'm wasting it listening to audio books, staring at computer screens and knitting (a lot) by day, and listening to whiny kids who make a giant mess at the table and their whinyer, more disgusting parents treat me like I'm the stupidest person they've ever met because I couldn't hear them tell me they wanted their ribeye cooked well with french fries and tater soup when the mumbled it into their menu instead of speaking clearly to me.

But that's mildly pessimistic. Let's talk about what I'm doing about it.

Like I said above, I've been knitting at work A LOT. When your primary responsibilities are to process paperwork that takes fifteen minutes of your day and hope that some confused horse person emails you so you can look up the response, you tend to have a lot of time on your hands. And by you, I mean me.

So for the last couple of months, I have made a concerted effort to knit things that are both interesting to me and that I will sell. I've bought books on color knitting techniques and cute accessory knitting and I've been combing Ravelry for charts and design ideas. I've learned how to knit continental style (whoa) so I could double knit a scarf, which turned out so well, I got another one commissioned on the spot. In the month of April, as my KnitMeter will tell you, I have knit 10.9 feet (as of this writing.) I'm a machine. I've started my etsy store. All that remains between me and spreading this knitting love around the world is some blocking and some photographs. I even chose a fantastic name for this enterprise: Miss Anthropy Knits. If you need an explanation, see the above paragraphs you knit wit.

I'm not going to link to the store or my facebook page (both of which are ready to go) until there's actually something to buy up on there. But that will be soon, dear readers. Very, very soon.
