Double Knitting you say - Oh yeah! Halfway there.

So here is the double knit hat I've been working on as a test. It looks pretty good, well by my standards.

Also, I've included a pic of a washcloth I whipped out last night.

I have been on vacation the past 5 days and LOVING it. Now, tomorrow, it's back to work. Blech. Or perhaps Meh?

I'm not sure why I am so ambivalent or displeased about going back to work but I definitely do not want to go back. If I do, it's only to see my friends.

Don't get me wrong, the work is fun and I do like my boss and co-workers. What do I not want to return to though? Not sure.

I'm thinking it has more to do with the many, many changes that have happened the last 2 years. When I moved from the publications area to marketing I LOVED my job. For me it was like a promotion. I couldn't wait for the next project to work on. Then, the changes.

They merged us all together. Now, on paper, that likely seems to be a good idea. However, from my perception, it was like a demotion. While I am still doing the same work, the environment has changed. The two of us that were in marketing are staff-level. We are salary. The others in our group are hourly. To me, the way those in charge have always made the hourly folks feel was rarely entirely positive

While I am doing the same work, I don't feel the same way about the job or the place.

It's sad.

Luckily I do have knitting to inspire me and keep my creative juices flowing.
