My schedule has changed with a new part-time job. I'm learning how to dictate phone calls for the hearing impaired. After training I have Thursdays off, so I thought I better switch my blog post days to Thursday. So here I am!

The call center where we work is beautiful. One of those new buildings in North Colorado Springs with glassed walls filled with mountains marching in the horizon; Pikes Peak rising above them. We get nice roomy cubicles and so far I'm very challenged; I will never be bored! We repeat verbatim calls a few words behind a caller we can hear, and the computer types out what we say. So the center is cold and I came up with the idea of making a cardigan for work to keep me warm. Midnight after my shift this week I found this simple, free pattern
Life is Cosy. It's made in Super Bulky yarn, I'm using Lion's Wool-Ease Thick & Quick in Fossil and I've been working on it the past two days. Ripping out a few times and finally, I got it started! What fun. It's going to be soft and cozy, and warm!
Have I mentioned I can knit at work? In between calls and right now as I listen to presentations. Hats are my go-to, requiring no thought. I've gotten a lot done, while I've learned a lot. One thing only a knitter could understand; I am so more able to concentrate when my hands are occupied. Glazing over? I grab my knitting! Miraculously, I wake up and are more attentive. But I purposely picked two hats I'm knitting (The Simple Hat and a Sockhead) that are fairly mindless knitting. Probably like a fidget for someone else.
(Mini pumpkin decorated during our mini-break at work; art supplies supplied. I've read Kindergarten art is the most free-flowing, replicating that level!😁)
Halfway through
The Golden Hour, a great read. I highly recommend it. Just well written; interweaving several time periods. It goes from 1943 in England, back to the past in Bermuda in 1941, and then back to 1900. I think it's taken half the book to understand why the switches, but it keeps you wondering what's around the corner. A unique style of writing. I'm really enjoying it.
On a Thursday!
What a fun job! My son is in the process of learning some sign language - his girlfriends parents are both deaf. That sweater does look like the perfect thing for a chilly office! (and this is the exact reason why I keep the link up open until Sunday night! Thank you for joining us!)
