How is it October? How? I've been back at work for nearly 5 weeks now, and it's absolute chaos. People keep asking me how the whole "Year 2/SENCO" thing is working out for me, and I cry, not loudly, but there are real tears. It's hard work. I'm getting the hang of things, but it is super hard work, and I'm basically working full time for part time money. It's hard.
Yesterday was a bit of a write off, as I was suffering from a mystery bug; nothing to do with the three bottles of "Italian White Wine" I shared with my colleagues, followed by at least two double vodka and tonics at the Aeronaut, and all the karaoke and the dancing and the having a fun time that happened on Friday night. I got home at 2, and had a little sleep on the sofa before going to bed in my clothes. Whoops. Still wasn't able to drive on Saturday morning, and my stomach muscles and legs are quite sore now.
Anyway, enough shenanigans, on with the KNIT LIST.
Hexipuffs: I've lost count. I don't know how many I've made. I will count them soon; I think I need 500 to make a blanket big enough to cover both of us on the sofa. Must keep knitting.
The Yellow Petrie: Still just a front. It's not warm enough to think about summer knitting.
The Rainbow Raglan: The body is nearly done. Woo hoo, get me. Making a fingering weight adult jumper is jolly hard and really quite boring. But the colour changes make me happy, because I am simple.
Simon's massive man sock: Sock 1 is half finished. I've turned the heel, and am about to begin on the mindlessness of the leg. It looks pretty dull, but I think he'll like them. He'd better.
Weather Blanket - there are now 3 squares left to make. THREE! Once the body of the Rainbow Raglan is done, I will finish it off. Finish it! After all these months!
This One's for Parties Vintage Jumper: I've dyed a bunch of silk yarn from Texere. It was off white and looked like grubby string, and now is bright, bright red. As is the kitchen, my apron and my hands.
Vianne cardigan: still needing a new button band. I might need to buy some more wool to finish it off, and I don't want to do that at the moment.

My husband is back!!! I had a problem with my husband 8 months ago,which lead to us apart. When he broke up with me,I was no longer myself,I felt so empty inside .Until a friend of mine told me about one of her spells that helped her in same problem too that she found on a television program. i emailed the spell caster and I told him my problem and I did what he asked me. To cut the story short,Before I knew what was happening,not up to 48 hours,my husband gave me a call and he come back to me and told me he was sorry about what has happened, I'm so grateful to this spell caster and i will not stop publishing his name on the internet just for the good work he has done for me.If you need his help,you can email him at (ezizaspellhome@gmail.com)or tel +2347068534025.....thank you sir great Dr.EZIZA for all that you do and i greatly appreciate that.
ReplyDeleteI guess I must be simple too, because colour changes keep me going too. LOL! It's very reinforcing to hear words like "making a fingering weight adult jumper is jolly hard"... in case I start convincing myself it's a good idea! I can convince myself into almost anything in the absence of sobering reminders.
ReplyDeleteRed's a nice colour for your kitchen, right? Last time I overdyed sock yarn I managed it without spreading the colour anywhere. Look at me, feeling almost in control :)
Color changes can make a project just hum along. I think it's why I've gotten myself making striped scarves again. Oooh, let's see how it will look with ANOTHER row of a another color... And then I take pause as I notice all the dangly, colorful yarn ends I'm amassing, and wonder... why was I inspired to do this again? lol
