I’ve been off since Friday morning at 7:00 am. I don’t work again until this coming Friday at 6:00 pm.
I didn’t do much this weekend except attend our annual Christmas party. It was nice to get all dressed up, get my hair done and put on a fancy dress. The dancing was great – at my age, you don’t have much opportunity to shake your ass.
For the rest of my week off, I set some goals.
#1:
Get the snow fence up. I know it’s been uncharacteristically warm this year. I went out in my flip-flops last week. Imagine my excitement. BUT, it will snow eventually and I really want to be prepared. I got stuck way too much last year and I don’t have someone to rescue me this year. SO, better be over-prepared than stuck in a snow drift at 6:00am.
THANK YOU RENEE FOR YOUR HELP DOING THIS ON YOUR SUNDAY OFF.
#2:
Finish Kayla’s blanket. I’ve been working on this thing on and off since mid-October. I really would have liked to have it finished for her birthday on November 22nd but that flew by. Now, it’s a Christmas gift. Christmas is next week. This week, the blanket NEEDS to get done, ends woven in, washed and wrapped.
#3
Dye some yarn to make the Purl Soho Ombre Wrap. I won’t use cashmere because it’s just too expensive. I’ll dye some “blank” sock yarn from Knit Picks instead.
#4
I have to work out my January workshop project – a knit hat. I have to make my sample, write out the pattern and make my posters. Should be fun.
That’s it for the major goals.
Here’s what I recently finished:
I called this cowl the Peterborough Cowl because I knit it last weekend in the car, in the dark, on the way to see my sister in Peterborough. I quite like it. I’m glad I frogged the scarf I didn’t like to make this instead. Pattern coming soon.
That’s it for me for this week, I think. If I get all my goals met, I’ll post an update.
Hope it’s a good one for you.
