I feel like I lost a week or two. We had a quiet, but delicious Thanksgiving. Rachel's Austrian friend, Viktor joined us. He is bright, articulate and delightful company. Viktor is a successful, freestyle skater, who previously represented Austria at the last Winter Olympics. Maybe we can convince him to dance with Rachel. They would have a great partnership.
Black Friday was not as busy at Eddie Bauer as we had hoped. Sales are down. I developed a nasty head cold and took a day off to just rest. Too much on my feet and I was wiped out.
On the knitting front, I've been trying to finish up current projects. Spent some time clearing off my desk and getting my dp's in order. I've lurked on Ravelry to see what other knitters are up to. Also, bought some new pattern books by Louisa Hardings and Sarah Dallas. I've been sharing these with Caroline. She is very excited about knitting and actually went to Yarnings by herself. You know you have launched a succesful knitter when they acually go looking for yarn by themselves. I'm so happy Caro is enjoying herself.
Tonight, a potential partner is flying in from San Jose to skate with Rachel for the week. Ben is 24 and has been skating for many years. Lets keep our fingers crossed on this.
Think I'll finish my cleaning, then relax and knit.
