Recent Knits

I know it's been a week since I posted last, but there's really not much new to report. Every morning Sally and I have been getting up around 7, taking Lenny to work at 9, hitting up the dog park for an hour and a half, and then she sleeps for the rest of the day while I clean the house and apply to jobs. I started volunteering at a local high school after I found out they had 5 (?!) bassoonists that could use some coaching. That combined with a chance dog park encounter and long chat with the Chair of Music Education is leading me towards applying to Teacher's College. The deadline is Dec. 1 and I have enough courses to do either business or social studies as a teachable in addition to music so that's covered too. I don't have the proper conducting courses, but hopefully I'll luck out??

I haven't posted many knitting pictures recently other than Sally's dog jacket because I've been working on some Christmas projects. This first one I decided to keep for myself, so you get to see it!

Cables  on the side and a checkered pattern in the middle.

This is a picture of a knitting fail... I bought this pink breast cancer awareness yarn but unfortunately nearly every pattern looks Hideous in this colour. I'm not really sure what to do with it. Ideas? The above picture was some sort of dainty lace thing that really just doesn't work with this pink... It looks so old-lady I can't thing of anyone that would wear it. I'll keep looking through Ravelry.com, but if any of you have suggestions for patterns, please let me know! :)

Well that's it for now. Tuesday I'm going to Hamilton for a trip so if you have any fun suggestions for that as well, fire away!
