I got my German knitting mags today. I love pretty much all the patterns in them.

I also finished Laura’s sweater. Kind of. I was running out of yarn so I finished the top about 1.5 inches too soon. I still think it looks okay on me so I’ll have her try it on before I go get another skein.

Finished another hat for my aunt: http://kribit.com/2006/02/05/cabled-wide-brim-hat/
I did it while visiting my grandmother and instead of watching the SuperBowl.

Technology
Two tech jobs in high demand these days are .NET (dot net) developers and quality assurance analysts.

Developers who are expert users of Microsoft’s software programming language .NET can make between $75,000 and $85,000 a year in major cities when they’re starting out. If they pursue a job at a company that seeks someone with a background in a given field (say, a firm looking for a .NET developer experienced in using software related to derivatives) they might snag a salary hike of 15 percent or more when they switch jobs.

Those who work in software quality management, meanwhile, might make $65,000 to $75,000 a year and be able to negotiate a 10 percent to 15 percent jump in pay if they switch jobs.

What a gorgeous day. And tomorrow looks like it’s going to suck. Awesome.

Tonight is hanging out with some Jersey girls. Tomorrow night is dinner/dancing on a boat then old city.

I love Alexander Henry Fabrics. Two stores on Fabric Row are supposed to carry it so I’ll have to check that out. eBay has a lot of it too.

I just ordered a couple Rebecca magazines. A little expensive, especially with shipping from Germany, but I think it will be worth it.

I especially want the shrug (2nd one in):

I finally put Duo together. The pieces have been finished for several weeks now.

I’m halfway through Laura’s present.
