OK, my first post slipped away. My second is here but the Queerknit logo appears to be missing although it takes me someplace.....HELP!

I should be writing a couple of articles that are due today but I really hate to finish anything until the absolute last minute and sometimes local news gets pretty boring.....

Short intro: I spend my days as a child welfare case worker and my off hours as a freelance writer. I'd like to freelance full-time but it's not in the financial cards yet. So I trudge off to the land of the baby snatchers three days a week. Fortunately, my partner is willing to subsidize my freelancing so I only have to work half-time. Now if I could just convince them to let me work at home......Am actually working on that.

I am a crazed fiber freak. My home office is dedicated roughly 40/60 to office/yarn. I currently have four projects in process: a pullover vest for my son-in-law, a cardigan for my 4 you granddaughter, a beaded purse for my 19 yo and a turtleneck sleeveless sweater for my 13 yo. I hope to finish three of the projects within the week and start on a Fair Isle vest for my partner. Then maybe I'll take a break and make something for me.

What else? I also spin, weave, crochet, sew, and bead. But knitting is my first love......
