The next year is looking busy.....

So Christmas is done and it was great! Not time to prepare for 2010.....

My plan to make a name for myself in the knitting world is to knit and blog diligently (I think that's how you spell it). How am I going to do this?

Well ----

- Continue to be available as a "Knit-for-Hire"
- Work on website and promotion
- Work on original designs

And the big project for 2010: Knit a hat a day, give them away and blog about it.

I figured that I can make a hat or beanie in about 2 to 3 hours (depending on design) and if Julie Powell can blog about cooking Julia Child's book, I can knit my way through the year. I will also post some of the patterns on the blog. Am I crazy? Will people follow what I'm doing?

So starting the first of January I will make a beanie and blog about it. Who will it be for? I have no idea..... Stay tuned.....

Until then - Have a safe holiday season!

I stumbled across this while looking for a job....

I am currently looking for a job in the design field and was going through various sites to do so. I came scross this one from craigslist.com and thought it was interesting. I guess you can post just about anything on that site.


Aurors Needed


It takes three years to become an Auror after attending Hogwarts. A candidate to become an Auror should meet the following requirements:

* minimum of five N.E.W.T.s with no grade under “Exceeds Expectations”
* recommended N.E.W.T. subjects are:
o Defence Against the Dark Arts
o Charms
o Potions
o Transfiguration

If the candidate meets the above requirements he or she must also pass the following requirements:

* background check for criminal record
* “a stringent series of character and aptitude tests at the Auror office.”

When accepted, the candidate continues on training. Once one becomes an “Auror trainee” they will be taught one of the following:

* Concealment and Disguise
* Stealth and Tracking

The Aurors are like a police force, and sometimes work as intelligence agents. They have the authority to arrest malefactors like Death Eaters, and at times have been given authority to use deadly force against Death Eaters in particular.

New logo!!!!

Thanks to Anthony, I have a new logo! Apparently- the teacup didn't make sense to anyone else but me, so I asked him to change it. Now there's no mistaking what I do!

Stay tuned for more updates after the holidays!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
