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!

    I would love the Lorna’s Laces you’ve got posted. Is it still available?

    All that puttering around and relaxing is going to make a girl tired.

    It’s as if you can keep going as long as you don’t stop. Once you stop all the tiredness catches up with you.

    You have been one busy, busy young lady! Congrats especially on weeding through some of the stash. I’ll be doing the same shortly, no choice.
