Sorry I didn’t get to post yesterday. I love my hubby to death, but when he’s on his computer in the mornings at the same time I’m on mine, I get distracted. We have our computers side by side in one of our bedrooms which we converted to “his office”, and since his job IS the computer, I have to work around him when I want to use mine. He reads the news first, then either listens to some old-time radio programs that he used to listen to when he was a boy (brings back the o’ memories, you know) or wants me to listen, talk, comment, or watch something else with him. (Come on, ladies, you all know what I’m talking about!) So, of course, I get distracted and can’t think about what I’m wanting to do. Well, this was going on yesterday morning, so I just turned everything off and made up my mind that I would have to do it later when he went off to do something else. I had to work last night, so I never got back to it. Anyway, here I am today!
I had a busy week, but I didn’t get much knitting done or crafting of any kind. I’m just about finished with the fourth strip of the baby afghan. One more strip and the knitting part will be done. Then I’ll sew it together. It’ll take a little longer than usual, because with all the different colors, I’ll have to use all those colors to sew it together. That means I’ll be cutting, tying, and weaving in even MORE ends of yarn.
I also ran out of yarn on the bag I was knitting with the cotton yarn. So I frogged it and will try to find some different yarn to use. I liked the way the cotton yarn was making it look however, and the only colors of cotton yarn I have that I know I’ll have enough of to make it are white, beige, and green. I don’t want a bag out of those colors, so I’ll have to buy some more yarn, darn it! It worked up really fast though. I could have had it made in an afternoon, if I’d had enough yarn.
I got the back of my sweater off the needles and started the front. I’m about a fourth of the way on it. I like to work on it when there’s a lot of sunshine coming in the window. It’s such a dark color and my eyes are not the eyes of a young woman anymore, so it’s a little difficult to see what I’m doing. The sun is shining really bright today, and the sunroom is about as light as it can get, so I’m thinking I’m going to spend the next hour or two out there knitting as soon as I get this posted.
I had a visit to the dentist this week. There’s a Hobby Lobby just down the street from the dentist’s office, so to reward myself for being such a good girl and visiting the dentist, I make a stop at the Hobby Lobby store. Remember last week when I mentioned that they had a lot of yarn on sale for 99 cents but hubby was with me and I couldn’t get much? Welllll, need I say more?! Suffice it to say, I’ll have yarn for a long time! I also went through their Valentine and other clearance and found some goodies, too. Some wooden hearts to paint, a few books on painting, some scrapbooking pretties, etc. I had a really good time!
Speaking of painting, with the weather turning warmer (finally), I’m getting a little antsy to head out to the shop and paint again. But that’s another blog. Have a great week!
