Last night, I finally got the chance to pull out my knitting and relax for more than a few minutes. I'm making good progress on my February Lady Sweater; I've probably got only another couple of inches of the lace before I start the lower hem of the body.
I'm planning on getting out my wheel again soon, too, especially because I may have made some fiber purchases at a couple online retailers today -- I'm entitled to treat myself to a little housewarming present, right?
We are getting closer to making the house presentable, too. Last night my brother-in-law came over and helped us hang a few pieces of art, and this evening I put out nearly all the trash generated from unpacking. I walked home from work today -- it took me less time than it used to take to drive home -- and it was very pleasant except for the giant blister I got on my right foot. More comfortable shoes are planned for tomorrow.
Also tomorrow: a finished pair of man socks!
"Grown ass woman" still makes me laugh!
ReplyDeleteWow that's really coming along beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI was eyeing the fiber at TLE, but I'm holding out for Dyeing Arts duos in a colorway I like to come in before I order again. What did you get?
Your FLS is looking great! Have you picked buttons yet? I've been obsessed looking at buttons.
ReplyDeleteI started mine, but am unhappy with the yarn. Will be purchasing a new yarn today. Sigh. Was hoping to use stash yarn.
Love the color of that sweater; can't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteOf course you are entitled to treat yourself to a little house warming gift!
Well of *course* you're entitled to a housewarming present. And a reward for setting up the house so quickly. And an incentive to finish unpacking. And a prize for saving gas since you can walk to work...
ReplyDeleteIt must feel great to be able to walk home from work or take a bus (and know it will be a relatively short ride) instead of driving!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that everything is coming along well and that you're settling in and getting back to your knitting!
