Paid to Knit
The day started off pretty good. The kids are doing a practice run-through of the TAKS tests this week. Because I don’t work for Dallas ISD, I’m not supposed to have anything to do with the tests, so I got to sit around and wait for either the kids to get finished or things to get so busy that the school needs me to do something anyway. Luckily, I had my handy-dandy knitting bag with me that contained my brand new sock-in-progress. Bored? Not me. I got paid to knit through 1st to the end of 4th yesterday and 1st to the end of 5th today. Life is nice indeed. This is what I’ve got so far.
Pardon the crappy quality–taken with my camera phone. Almost makes up for getting 3 inches down the sock, realizing there was a typo in the pattern (thanks a million Vogue), and having to rip back the entire thing Monday night. There were tears. But the day did not end so well. Dave and Nea’s dog Keeva is very sick. She and I had to take her to the emergency animal hospital where Keeva is still staying. Keeva was in shock and severely dehydrated; her body temp was so low that it didn’t register on the digital thermometer. The vet still isn’t sure from what. May have been an allergic reaction. So she’s staying overnight for observation and a fluid I.V. Poor puppy.
