Monday Magic
Well, maybe not on Monday, as all I really did today was go to my weekly counseling session, work all day at the shop, and then come home and chill on the couch for awhile. I’ve pulled myself off of said furniture because I cannot stand any more of “Kell on Earth” (I tried to watch it, but they’re just so damned MEAN…and I don’t need that negative energy in my life, honestly). So you win out, my loyal readers!
Sunday morning was spent catching up with me, as I popped on “CBS Sunday Morning” and started knitting on a great hat design found in the Winter ‘09 issue of Knitty.com called ’shroom. Using super-bulky yarn and bigger needles, I knew it would work up quickly. Ribbed band–about 60 minutes. Hat crown–maybe 2-3 hours (with fooling around at the shop). Finished in no time
and made with a single hank of Cascade Magnum (just $18, as the pattern is a freebie!). Great fun…great hat!
One thing I also did on Sunday morning was to clean out and organize my knitting bag (aka my purse). I was shocked that all of this
was in my knitting bag. Sadly, it all went right back in there, organized and semi-sorted. That’s a lot of crap! But I never know what I’ll want to knit on (despite there being three different sock projects–maybe that’s excessive!), so I carry all of it with me everywhere.
Today was a productive day at ThreadBear, as it was slow due to the inclement weather. We finally wrapped up this project,
which was to re-hank the last of the yarns that I dyed on Thursday of last week. They’re all named and ready for sale at the shop and will be on display here on Tuesday (2/23) as soon as I get back from my morning walk. I was flattered to find out how many sold over the weekend, which means I’m hitting the right color combos for folks (I feel like I’m doing a good bit of really BRIGHT stuff of late–echoing my HAPPY mood of late). So, if you’re interested in seeing how they came out and what’s left, do drop by on Tuesday, in the shop or online.
That’s about it for today……more soon. I’m going to get back to work on my new project!
