Here we are, another Monday. ¬†At least it isn’t raining. Yet. ¬†Yup, more of the wet stuff forecast for today. ¬†It is definitely time to build an ark. ¬†This weekend was an interesting one. ¬†Saturday, the folks took the kids to the movies. ¬†They were supposed to go to the boat, but with all the rain, they decided not to. ¬†I stayed home and did a little spring cleaning in my room. ¬†After they got home, the kids took a little lay down quiet time. ¬†About 5pm, they all piled into the car and headed to the boat. ¬†I had the house to myself. ¬†Well the cats stayed behind, but they’re quiet and stay out of the way, mostly. ¬†Boy was it quiet! ¬†And odd. ¬†What did I do?

1.  Finish the main knitting on the fair isle cardigan.  I just have to sew the steek and do the button bands now.

2.  Cleaned out the overflowing sock yarn basket and removed the non-sock yarns from therein.

3.  Weeded out a bunch of dead to me yarns and put them up for sale on Ravelry (Rav link). Same with a few rovings that I had around.  I have way more to go through, but its a start.

4.  Watched 2 baseball games & spun on two different wheels.

5.  Did the finishing work on the Strawberry Latte Sims Socks.  Wearing em today incidentally :)

6.  Stayed up way late and slept in!  Lazed around in bed with my downloaded Sunday New York Times :)

7.  Further organized and cleaned out my bedroom/hobby room.

8.  Did a few ridges on Ballerina.

All in all, a pretty decent weekend.  Very productive.

Why yes, I can read the paper and knit now with the bonus of not getting ink on my fingers!  I get to start the corrugated ribbing on the cuff on the way home.

I have lots of photos except I took them all on the big Canon, which of course, I didn’t get downloaded last night. ¬†I was exhausted for some reason and turned off the light at 9pm. ¬†I’ll get them tonight and spread the love over the week ;)

Craft on!
