Sunday Musings.
I ended up having the busiest weekend that I have had in a long time. The weekend ended with knitting group at the mall and a trip to Crate and Barrel. I didn’t end up buying anything there because pay day is this coming Friday but I did get their holiday catalog and I saw a couple of things for Christmas gifts that I will pick up for this coming weekend.
This morning I ended up finishing the Covered Bridge Red shawl, so now I can go on hiatus from shawl making. I started Veteran’s Scarf Number 2 just before knitting group and ended up finishing it when I came home from knitting group. I will finish Number 1 once I have my mom diagnose what I did wrong so that I can start it over and do it correctly. It has an open work V on each end of the scarf and would look really cool except for I think I have a counting problem or something. I ended up starting Number 3 while I was listening to vintage episodes of Lime N Violet. For Number 3, I am using Plymouth Yarn Encore in a light heather gray. I had impulse bought it at my LYS the other weekend because I liked the color and it was only $5.50 or something like that with a lot of yardage. I brought it home and I was basically like what in the hell am I going to do with this? Well, then I decided that it would make a nice Veteran’s scarf because gray is a nice neutral, manly color. I am using my size L Brittany hook so it is working up fast. I think I have about 12 inches done right now. I will probably have it done by the end of the week.
I’m not really sure where the time has gone this weekend. I wasn’t really home Friday night, Saturday was a blur and Sunday flew by because I had my Sunday morning Starbucks run and then knitting group. Let me state for the record that I enjoy getting up early on Sunday morning for the sole purpose of going to Starbucks and drinking coffee and reading the morning paper. It is my bliss.
I am really fortunate because I don’t have any holiday crocheting this year. We finished the prayer shawl quota for the nursing home Christmas project early so I don’t have to hurry to make those. I mailed off my scarves for the Special Olympics projects and the Red Scarf Project. So now, I think my holiday crocheting is going to be making scarves for the Veterans as part of the National World War II Museum (in New Orleans) Knit Your Bit campaign.
Monday Evening Update.
Work was lame today. My boss had her head stuck in the clouds and people were taking "vacation" so it was ask Shoegirl Stupid Questions Day. However, it was all worth it when I came home and found a Starbucks and Yarn swap package on my doorstep. Yarn, candy, a cup cozy and a new Columbus city mug. How exciting is that! I have a pic of the loot on my Flickr page. I was so excited, I ended up going to Starbucks and getting a Peppermint Mocha Twist that went straight to my big butt.
I am also halfway done on Veteran's Scarf Number 3. I might have to have a finishing party for myself sometime this week.
I am going to have to dig through my bookcase for a book to read. I have read my library books all ready but I have a hard time finding epic novels of 500 pages or more to read that don't put me to sleep. More pages = lasts longer.
