Almost ready to move on

Work: Crazy busy. We moved offices and I was the unofficial semi-volunteered packer of the supply room, shipping stuff, kitchen, and other “common” areas, in addition to my own cube. Lots of busy. Now the writing stuff seems to be ramping up, so that’s nice. Some of the drama continues but I’m trying not to be too involved or think about it too much. It really bums me out sometimes.

Home: Pretty relaxed. I think the parents are getting annoyed that I haven’t gotten everything unpacked (read: out of the living room) yet. I am working on it, though. Just sort of slowly.

Knitting: Ahh, something I can go on about at length! I joined Ravelry in July-ish and check in every day. I’m not a big poster in the forums, but I read a lot and am learning new things just by reading answers to other people’s questions. I also swapped some yarn with someone who wanted some of my stash I had put up to trade or sell. She sent me some really cool wool yarn with sari silk woven in, plus a hank of sari silk yarn, which I’ve wanted for a while. I think I’ll be making a felted bag with the wool. Dunno what to do with the silk yet, other than stare at it. It’s really pretty. :)

The Mystery Stole has bitten it, I think. I’m not going to frog it until I’m sure, but there are other things I want to knit more than that right now and I may want to use the yarn for something else. We’ll see. I definitely want to make it at some point, I just don’t know when that will be.

I’m nearly almost finished with J’s blanket. I really want to finish, including washing and blocking, by next Tuesday so I can give it to C when she’s in the office. I’m trying to make myself do at least 10 rows a night, but I get tired and need to put it down. It probably won’t happen, but I want to at least try.

The Gryffindor scarf is going well, but the endless stockinette tube is really getting to me. I’m definitely more than halfway done, and I need to step it up because it’s for Halloween.

After these projects are finished I may start my sweater or make a baby sweater first. I don’t just want to keep putting my stuff off, though. I’ve heard Tubey is pretty easy as long as you take good measurements. It’s a little scary though. I’m ready for a challenge.
