Busy, busy…

It’s been a really busy past week. 

Jacob jointed MMA (mixed martial arts) so he could be cooler.

Soccer in the rain on Wednesday.

Scott got his new house on Thursday but then he worked all weekend.  The boxes were driving me crazy so, I unpacked for him.  Then I went home and thought to myself  “Man, this place is a mess!  There’s shit everywhere!”  I need to purge.  I have a garage full of furniture I don’t have room for and boxes I haven’t unpacked yet.  I’ve been in my house for three years!  If it’s in a box, I probably don’t need it. 

I worked at the Station on Sunday.  It was a good day but long due to lack of sleep.  I thought you were supposed to need less  sleep as you get older?

At least I got Claire’s socks finished.  They’re pretty nice if I do say so myself.  They’re a secret though and I don’t want to put up any pics just in case she sees them.  AND, I’m thinking of submitting my pattern to www.knitty.com.  I’ll have to sit down and write the actual pattern.  That’s my downfall:  I make all these things just out of my head but never write stuff down.  Will I ever learn?

Yesterday, I started another pair of Bella’s Mittens.  I just love those.  It’s the first thing I make more than one of and don’t get so sick of it I want to stick it in my coffee grinder.

I was dying to start my February Lady but something came up. 

A friend Christina went to Germany for a few weeks and came back with a kit for me for this really cute tunic that you wear with a belt.   We have matching kits but with different color yarns.  The pattern is in German – yikes.  She started hers while she was there and I managed to have a look at it before she undid it (too small) and think I figured out the stitch pattern.  Numbers are the same in German so, *something I don’t understand* 102/###/### *more stuff I don’t understand* 4-4 1/2  *again, words I don’t understand* and 103/###/###.  I’m guessing that means cast on 102 stitches.  I managed to figure out Knit and Purl so, I have to work K2,P2 for  4-4 1/2 inches and increase one so that when I start my stitch pattern, I have 103 stitches.  This should keep me busy for a few hours until I see her again at knitting on Wednesday.  Here’s a picture.  It’ actually pretty long and you wear it with a belt.  She has a belt on under her hand.

I’m blogging on my lunch.  I should be knitting.  When I left the house this morning, I was evaluating my day – trying to figure out if I should bring my knitting or not.  I decided NOT.  Now I’m kicking myself in the arse because I could have been knitting right now.  C’est la vie!

I’ll post pictures next time.
