Well, I got the job! Lorraine of Red Fish Kids Clothing has given me some samples to work on and present to her on monday, when I will be receiving some work! I am so happy to be working for this company. Lorraine is above all a very inspiring woman, a mother and an entrepaneur. She created a wonderful children’s clothing company that boasts preshrunk clothing made here in vancouver in a sweatshop free environment! Her designs are super cute, unique and practical.
The most fabulous part about the job, besides the karma free-ness of her vision is that I can work when I want, at home and do things that I enjoy. My creativity is encouraged! Not to mention that it pays well and leaves time for reading and writing.
As for the upcoming podcast, I have begun planning its formation and I will begin playing with the audio equipment early this week. I am planning to have it online sometime in the afternoon on Saturday the 24th of November, the full moon. I will write a post this week to give a bit of an outline.
I am also working on the reviews page. There should be at least one up by the end of the evening, possibly more!
I worked for a few hours this afternoon on the Justin Sweater. I’m rather excited about the progress and I hope to get it wrapped up by the end of November… or at least the first week in December!
The yarn: Silky Wool by Elsebeth Lavolde
The sleeves (which ended up being a couple millimetres different, something I could have avoided by knitting them at the same time on one long circular!)
The body - both pieces together on one long circular to avoid the problem described above.
