I've somewhat of an unconventional job for a woman. I'm a plant operator at a nuclear power plant. Forget hair and makeup. Wearing a hardhat all day gives me a terrible case of helmet hair. And makeup, forget it. The heat in the power plant literally melts the stuff right off my face.

Because it's been so hot at my job I really haven't had the inclination to knit. Besides, I still don't have any of my boards or looms. I did finish a washcloth and two kerchiefs with the needles and kitchen cotton but I'm bored with that now. Not to mention that I'm absolutely fed up with the needles I bought. They are flexible plastic, so flexible it's like knitting with flippin' drinking straws.

I really do have a penchant for tank tops. I have my heart set on making one of the tank tops in the Yarn Girls book on one of my looms. I think the pattern will be easy to translate. I also want to try the "Tank Girl" from Stitch 'n Bitch. All this, of course, while I'm trying to unpack all these boxes and set up the new house. BTW, we found a house to buy so I didn't have to rent. Yes!
