Wow, it’s been a while!
And there’s been some news chez Sato. After Labor Day, I’ll be starting a new job with the Seamen’s Church Institute. I’ll be managing the Christmas at Sea program, and I’m super excited about this! I’m actually sort of amazed that such a job exists. It is very much like my current job, plus knitting.
Christmas at Sea has its own blog, so I’ll be posting there regularly. Please visit, comment, etc. We also have a group on Ravelry, and I’d appreciate your joining there, too. But most importantly, if you can see fit to add a hat or scarf to your knitting queue for the cause, you’d not only make my day, but you’d be helping out a seafarer as well.
Meanwhile, I’m finishing up at my current job. I have two outstanding projects I hope to complete. And to make the time pass quickly, my co-worker and I decided to create our own “fashion diet” ala the NYTimes story. It’s not going so well. I picked a navy blue dress, a black pencil skirt, a pink button-down shirt, a white tank, and a yellow short sleeved blouse, and a coral colored jacket. Boring. At the beginning of week 2, my co-worker and I decided 8 was a better number than 6. So I added a liberty-print tank and blue pencil skirt. But I’m hanging in there, although, my current coworkers will probably only remember me after I’ve left as the girl who never changed her clothes.
And knitting. I’m trying to decide whether or not to frog my henley perfected and use my wonderful cashmere for plain & simple instead. Thoughts?
