FO #2, the disco tee

[flexagon]

The disco tee is finished. It didn't come out exactly as I had planned, but it's nice enough to wear:





And I took gratuitous sexy pictures of my chain mail dress while I was at it.





I've been so spazzed and now I'm just not. That large, famous search company isn't really the opportunity of the decade (if nothing else, I could always try again next year). However, they're the opportunity of the season, and their decision will have a huge effect on how my season goes. Ideally I'll take 2 weeks off in September between jobs... and that sounds like a dream, almost as important as getting the new job itself. I feel so unrested.

The disco shirt looks neat. What yarn/pattern is it? When I first saw the pictures I actually didn't think it was knitted. A zoomed in pic would be awesome.

Even if that company's decision turns out to be no, you can always take two weeks off anyway. I've started taking 2-3 week unpaid breaks from work these past few years, and it's awesome.

Oh, and smile in your pictures! :D

The yarn is polyamide "ladder" ribbon yarn called Mega. No pattern; I just measured myself, and increased and decreased as seemed appropriate.

Here's a closeup:



I had that on my knitting blog a while ago... policy so far is that this blog will only get FO posts, since I don't assume my friends here care much about knitting, but maybe with each FO I can link to blogspot posts related to the project or something.

You have such a good point about taking time off anyway. Apparently the unpaid time thing is kind of hard to do at Colubrid, but that would be my boss's headache, not mine. ;)
