I got a job at the Fiber Gallery! Yea! I’ll only be working a very small amount, but I’m very excited about it, and only partly for the discount. I’m starting on Sunday for inventory, which wil be good to get even more familiar with what’s in the store before people start asking me questions about it.
I headed out to Churchmouse today to examine the clearance bins. They had put them away for the holiday merchandise, and as I was hoping they are overflowing now. There was a ton of Jo Sharp Desert Garden for half price and I bought a sweater’s worth in sage. It’s so pretty. There were lots of other things, including much Regia and enough Debbie Bliss Cotton Cashmere for a good sized garment, but I resisted the temptation.

Why Wild Swan?
In The Wild Swans by HC Anderson, a girl must knit sweaters for her 12 brothers-turned-swans to make them human again, in the short time before she is to be burned as a witch, and she must do it with her bare hands using stinging nettles. In addition to being a very exciting example of knitting in fairy tales, it sums up the essence of knitting; though painfully frustrating at times, it is always worthwhile.
