gift knitting and job hunting

I don't have much to show for my efforts these days. I have gift-knitting projects on the go that I'm keeping quiet for now, and although I'm applying to everything even vaguely related to my field, I don't have a job to show for it yet. The job hunt is getting me down! Other than being jobless, my life is pretty damn sweet right now, so I'm trying to be enthusiastic about the awesome bits.

Today I started taking advantage of my free time to start something I've been meaning to do for ages.



(That's Marnie MacLean's tutorial about using Excel to chart colourwork open in one window)

I'm envisioning some fingerless mitts. Will anything come of this? Who knows, but for now it's a good personal challenge.
