Just a quick update on my way to work as i know i haven't posted in ages. But then i haven't done much knitting in ages. I'm slowly but surely ploughing my way through the mock cable sock. Not easy when you only work a few minutes bus ride from home. Great for having a little longer in bed in the mornings, not so great for productive knitting. Work is good though, i'm enjoying working with children and it's totally different to anything i've done before but i absolutely love it. I have my own mini caseload which is slowly growing when i meet new people to work with. I even get to spend some time doing my dream job later this summer and i can't wait.

Finished the front of the sunshine cushion. Apologies for the bad picture quality, i still only have my phone camera.

I've been so busy knitting and job hunting that I haven't had chance to update. And as I'm still without my camera there's no pretty pictures to show of all my hard work, I'm about halfway down the foot of my second Toe Jazz flip flop sock and I've got over half of the front panel of the sunshine cushion knitted. I really love this cushion, it's knitting up really nicely and looking very cool with the beads. I'm even enjoying knitting with the denim yarn despite the funny tension and the fact my hands get quite blue if I'm knitting for any length of time. 

In non-knitting related news I'll be starting back on my final placement in just over a week. This time working with children and people under 18. I'm looking forward to it as it's going to be quite different to anything I've done before. So if nothing else it'll be an adventure.

The first repeat of my sunshine cushion by debbie abrahams. It's my first attempt at knitting with denim and i'm quite enjoying it so far. I have a blue tinge to my fingernails though, which i'm putting down to the yarn rather than lack of oxygen.
