Week from Hell

Well this has been week from hell. Work was crazy busy and I feel like I was ready explode. In the end it leaves me thinking I need a new job but I haven't even been there for a year yet and it looks like i am a flight risk if i leave. Honestly I really want to work for Darrell again but its the same business so I am sure the issues will be the same. I think in reality I just wanna go home....good ole Claremont.

Thankfully I had Friday off and got to go to knitting night I really really needed that

And now for some Pic

I hope everyone had a great Xmas. I did and I even went to the inlaws it was the first time I have seen them since before my wedding over two years ago.
On the knitting front I have been knitting on a schedule nicely and actually cast off one of ndebes socks. I do adapt some as my hockey game knitting needs to be vanilla no matter what I should be working on at that time ditto for knitting knit no counting can be done there for some reason.
So here is what I got

This is my sock Yarn Blankie right now its a double line of squares.

This is Him again. I finished one of these

since this photo was taken now I need to

cast on the second one

This is Southern Pirates with Clap. The yarn is Yarn Pirate Sweet Magnolia get it hahaha

This is barrows sock done in 3IG Lewis yarn. I keep picking

yarns that dont go well with the cablely patterns

but this one is working nicely


These are my jaywalkers... I told you vanilla knitting for hockey right

So for my cast on this cycle I cast on a drop stitch scarf in Noro Silk Garden Lite I now totally get why people are ga ga over this stuff. Noro does all the work for you

long time gone

so I havent posted in a while I am so tied up by yarn and hockey hahaahaha
I will have a more detailed post in a day or so

What I am THANKFULL FOR

MY FAMILY
MY FRIENDS
MY CATS AND DOGS

side note project #5 cast on .... pair os Jaywalkers needed mindless knitting for the Car ride to Keene

Have you ever scheduled Knitting

So until recently I was a monogamous knitter one project at a time, however, something is changing in me. I am going to blame it on the holidays and trying to holiday knit but I want to cast on things instead of actually knitting them. Maybe it is the stash I have been accumulating and I want it to look smaller. None the less I think I am going to have to make a deal with myself in order to actually even finish anything. I will only be allowed to cast on things on my first day off work I don't have to start a new project mind you but I am allowed to... on the second day off I can work on any project I want in theory it should be a project that I am about to finish.

so here is what I picture my week looking like with my week starting on Monday but that may be a day off or work day
the Projects are numbered in my projects on ravelry I will remove the number as I bump them out of wip status to finished status
work day 1 --- Project #1 --- currently 8'8'8' shawl
work day 2 --- Project #2 --- Stricken with soule
work day 3 --- Project #3 --- itty bitty squares.... mitre square sock yarn blanket ---this one might not always happen since it depends on the availability of scrap sock yarn.... If not available its a you pick day
work day 4 --- Project #4 --- Lewis Barrows
work day 5 --- Project #5 --- oops I guess I need to cast on a project hahahaha
day off 1 --- Cast on --- work on that project
day off 2 --- you pick em --- any thing I want. I will try to make it something I am casting off soon but this wont always happen.


So today is the second day of work for me this week... I will be working on my Stricken with Soule when I am done Rambling on here. wink wink

Pictures will be posted weekly-ish
