News.
Today was my last day working at Knit Happens.
very sad.
Being my last official day, I felt the need to BUY SOME STUFF. After all, you can’t let a good discount go to waste, can you?
No, totally not. HOWEVER, even though that place is a FESTIVAL OF YARNY GOODNESS, I couldn’t find anything to buy. CRAZY!
I didn’t go home EMPTY handed though…small purchases *were* made:
The new Interweave, Steph’s latest book which I’ve wanted but never bought, and a skein of baby cashmerino
I also bought a 16″ US 4 addi circ, but I put it straight to use, so it was not available for the shoot.
Still though, I had kinda planned on buying YARN, you know? Oh well.
Now, you might be asking yourself, “Hey…why won’t you be working at KH anymore, Lara?”
That would be a good question!
Want me to tell you?
DO YOU?
…
The reason is…
…
…
I GOT PROMOTED!!!!
I am finally going to get to see something I have not seen in over four years…
daylight.
I am now the midday girl at my radio station, working 10 AM to 3 PM!!!
While for me this means challenging myself and new opportunities and greater exposure and a chance to interact with living, breathing REAL PEOPLE during hours when the sun actually SHINES, for YOU it also means MORE LARA! (yay!)
I don’t have to leave Knitty Meetups before everyone else anymore. I don’t have to drive through the night to see you guys at Rhinebeck. I may even pop up at a Knit Happens Late Night or Knit n’ Nosh!!! Dude, for the first time in over four years, I’mma have a normal LIFE!
I’m workin’ 9-5, baby, and what a way to make a livin’!!!!

Congratulations! Welcome to daylight savings time.
August 4th, 2006 at 8:59 am
Congratulations! We’ve been listening to you a lot lately – my daughter loves your station and when we’re in the car we must listen you know. She’s wondering what happened to Julian though – is he gone, or on vacation?

Congrats! Boo on the loss of the discount.
August 4th, 2006 at 9:24 am
Yay!! Congrats!

Congrats… and FINALLY!
August 4th, 2006 at 10:09 am
Hi Lara! Congrats Girl! You are totally deserved that one. I know what you mean about coming out yarn-less. I went to a big sale at my LYS, Fibre, and I didn’t buy one skein. It felt like I was forgetting something. GOOD LUCK!
August 4th, 2006 at 10:27 am
Congratulations! I will tune in.
August 4th, 2006 at 10:32 am
CONGRATS… I will have to stream your station to listen to you during the day!
August 4th, 2006 at 10:38 am
Congratulations on the promotion! I never could listen to you before since I go to be so durn early. Welcome to daylight!
August 4th, 2006 at 11:01 am
CONGRATS! I’m sure Holly’s sad to lose you but fantastic job on the promotion (and leaving your nocturnal life behind).
August 4th, 2006 at 11:03 am
THAT’S AWESOME! YAYAYAYAYAYYY. More Lara time is always a good thing. And now I can listen to you at work!
Next weekend!
August 4th, 2006 at 11:10 am
The irony here is that I’ll never get to listen to you anymore, since I’m not around my radio from 10-3!! But CONGRATS lady, and I’m so excited that I’ll get to see you at knitty things now!
August 4th, 2006 at 11:36 am
Congratulations! You deserve it!
August 4th, 2006 at 11:41 am
That’s totally rockin’ news. I’m going to put my headphones on right now to see if you’ve started
August 4th, 2006 at 12:28 pm
Congrats! That’s such awesome news, and of course you totally deserve it. You’re like, such a celebrity!
August 4th, 2006 at 12:28 pm
YEAH! Midday!
You are a STAR.
August 4th, 2006 at 12:58 pm
Congratulations! I don’t usually listen during the day (since I’m supposed to be working), but I’ll have to remember to listen on the Internet.
August 4th, 2006 at 2:01 pm
CONGRATS! Yay! More Lara time is always a good thing, and a promotion is, too!
August 4th, 2006 at 3:06 pm
Yay! Congratulations!
August 4th, 2006 at 3:08 pm
Congrats on the promotion! That’s one thing I will miss if/when I leave my job — no more 25% yarn discount! And free film developing… And 50% off custom framing… And wholesale computers…
August 4th, 2006 at 5:16 pm
Congratulations!! Well deserved, too.
August 4th, 2006 at 6:42 pm
Yeah yeah yeah!!!! Congratulations on your new time slot! I’ll listen on the internet feed now while I’m working.
August 5th, 2006 at 1:23 pm
Awesome! I still have you bookmarked on my computer
Too bad about not working at KH anymore though. perhaps they could just use you when inventory rolls around or something?
August 5th, 2006 at 6:09 pm
Congratulations!!! I, too, am excited about listening to you at work. Oh, the magic of the internets.
August 5th, 2006 at 6:21 pm
I’M not happy! I’M SAD! Who will be up at 2 am to respond to my emails???
10-3 sounds awesome. What good hours! You will LOVE it!
