My Weekend
Well I accomplished pretty much nothing this long weekend - kind of a drag. I'm not feeling that great and some of my kids are down with a cold too. Worse, I'm working on something I hate - setting up a new bookkeeping system on the computer - and doing the inventory is taking, like, forever! To top it all off it's cold and raining so I can't even sit outside and finish picking the veg out of the white Jacob, a job I really really want to finish before it's freezing outside. (A job I could justify perfectly, if the weather was nice - OH how I'd love to walk out on the computer and do that! Ha!) But, alas, I can't! I have to get this system up and running before the end of October and it's SO totally cut into my knitting time that I haven't picked up my needles for nearly 6 weeks now. I'm still spinning in "me" time in the evenings and I've actually finished quite a few bobbins of different singles. I'm hoping to finish the batch I'm working on ASAP so I can move on to plying them all up and then I'll show you pics. Of course, if that wasn't enough to do, the real reason I'm trying to finish the singles is because I have superwash yarn coming from Little Knits to make 5 more pairs of work socks for DS#2 because he has started wearing through the ones I made him 18 months ago - pretty darn good mileage, I'd say! Still, it usually takes me 2 months to knit 5 pairs because he likes them extra thick, so everything else goes out the window until that job is done - spinning, plying, sweaters - everything! I just don't have enough time in the day to commit to work, family and all my hobbies - oh, did I use the word "commit"? I'd better be careful about how I use that one! hahahahaha! So I'm really putting the pedal down to get these singles finished! About the only "real" job I got finished is bottling and corking my kit wine. It's Cabernet Sauvignon - my favorite - and it turned out pretty well I think! The party's here folks - c'mon over if you're not afraid of catching a cold bug!
