Cotton, ho! (ick), as well as a Knitty hopeful (better than Miss America!)

So, I have a new job as the spawn of Satan (aka: a telemarketer.) At least it's for charities, so I don't feel quite so bad for taking money from people who can't afford to give it away. But it's still crummy, and I can't wait to get back to school, so that I can go back to making theatre-y goodness.
I finally managed to sneak some knitting into work. I started by knitting under the table, but once my sales went through the roof(ish) as a result, the owner of the company came over and left me a little note:
"Please knit. You do better."
Yay for not being in the knitting closet at work no mo.
I have decided that I must be rid of our family's seemingly immense stash of worsted weight cotton, and because it is a mindless knitting project, I have been churning out washcloths by the score. I finally improved on my Grandma O's pattern for them, so they are actually looking quite good. *pats self on back*
I have decided that another worthy summer project is to try and write a pattern to submit to Knitty, only one of the most awesome knitting magazines ever. I have several designs that I have made, but stupidly never written the patterns down for, even though I have cranked them out several times with much enjoyment. Now it's time to try to get them written out!
