I'm Loving It! My Michaels Story

Hello, so as promised I want to tell you all about how I'm loving it at Michaels.  I'm working about 12-16 hours a week.  It is wonderful!  I am loving it and yes I will be saying it a lot.  So I have been stocking shelves and unloading the truck.  I will tell you right now I am so sore but it's a good sore.  I'm getting a great work out from lifting all the heavy boxes and everything we have to move.  It was strange for a while not being able to just go off on my own and do what ever I wanted like I do at McD's.  Now it's strange not working in a group.  We all work in a group and I do feel bad because I don't know how to do the stocking and all of this was new to me starting there.  I was thinking I would be doing register ya know the thing I'm used to doing. Well surprise I'm not but they are working with me and I am learning how to do this.

I aint no slouch I'm a beanie

Okay please don't ask me why I just did that title I just did.  So I have one of the gals I work with who likes Slouchy Beanies and has requested I make her some.  So far she has bought me 4 things of yarn.  I say things because it's a combination of cakes and skeins.  I found some yarn, that turns out she loves, from my personal stash and started on it.  I have a second one going from a book I bought from Michaels.  I really like the way the one I'm working on looks and have to say the very gradual color change is nice.  If you all were wondering how I am liking my new job at Michaels I suggest you go over and read that blog post that will be coming up in a few days.  Due to the amount of patterns I am using for this I will be listing them all bellow with links, some are paid some are free.
