Friday Night ExcitementWithout a doubt, I know how to party. Proof, you ask? Well, sit back and listen to my plans for tonight. Laundry. Packing. Finish my bulletin board. Pack some more. Sneak in some knitting. WOOO HOOOO! Out of my way, I'm a party ANIMAL! ;)This weekend (surprise surprise) is dedicated to some serious moving preparations. Tomorrow will be mostly spent at Ikea- one trip in the morning with the borrowed van for furniture, then another trip in the car with the gals in the afternoon for the "other stuff". :) Kinda a pain to go twice, but it's worth it to save the delivery $$, and also to spare the "friend with the van" the extended shopping trip. Yesterday I packed up almost all of my kitchen stuff... just need a few more boxes to get the last of it. The end is in sight... Hmmmm... since this is supposedly a KNITTING blog, and not just the daily rantings of a frazzled mover, perhaps I should mention what little has been going on with the knitting. Yesterday during lunch I did manage to untangle the april sock yarn... what a pain! But it is now in 2 nice, neat balls, and I'll hopefully be able to start on a sock at lunch today. We'll see. The dishcloth swatches continue- I'm on the third swatch, "loose five-rib braid", and I LOVE it. I think it'll be really nice as a vertical divider on the Aran... and it is especially nice since it looks much more complicated than it is- there are only 2 cable rows in the 8 row pattern. So that'll be nice to pair with some of the more complicated stitch patterns... keeping up the visual interest without making the knitting too much of a pain to follow. But that's about it for knitting... in fact, I'll probably be packing almost all of my knitting stuff this weekend. But this time next week, I'll be moving in... so the end is definitely in sight. What I'll be doing for the next week... discursus "running to and fro" 0 comments || # |
