Yarn Along: dream job

My honey cowl is almost finished.  I took it with me to the all-staff training at my new job at the local museums.  I'm used to knitting in public, but was a bit worried it wouldn't look professional.  Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw three--THREE--knitters working away at the table next to mine.  They are historical interpreters, paid to wear 1840s clothing and knit or spin or sew all day.  sigh.

I'm reading The Mary Frances Knitting and Crochet Book by Jane Eayre Fryer on my nook.  I downloaded it for free by searching "0.00 knitting" in the shop.  It is a low quality scan of the original and has lots of mistakes as a result, because the scanner picked up words slightly wrong and no one edited it.  Alas.  Franklin Habit wrote a really hilarious post about this book, which made me search it out.  I intend to pick up a hard copy soon, as I can see it is a gem worth reading over and over.
