Since this past week was super busy and exhausting with parent conferences and then I had a wicked flareup on Wednesday, not much got worked on. But this week is Spring Break, so I'm sure I'll have better update next week. I know I missed last Sunday, but such is life....
This week, my goals are:
- to finish the Zombie Valentines
- finish or close to finish the Kiss Me, I'm Irish
- Finish the first sock on Hudson Bay
- figure out and work the Fish Kiss Lips heel on Keep Swimming
- wind the yarn for the two sweaters planned
- possible start moving yarn totes up to attic room, after logging what's in each tote
In addition, I have to make a poster for my friend, do the taxes (last year I can do the simple form on my own), clean the house.
So we'll see how far I get on these...wish me luck, as I am a procrastinator!!!!!

That knit night looks like so much fun! When I lived in the city I used to Maan’s it to the one hosted by a LYS on occasion. I’ve been thinking about hosting one out here if only there were more knitters around.
Sorry to hear about the flare-up... hope that’s behind you now!
That does not sound like much of a break! That seems to be how my weekends are, rush, rush, rush and and maybe an hour to play with yarn. I hope you get everything done and you enjoy your time off.
Oh your Knit Night sounds (and looks) like fun! Enjoy your spring break and some yarny goodness!
That sounds a lot of fun, hangin' out at someone's house to knit. When I was in SF, two of the knitters had meet ups at their house once in a while. Now it's too much of a trek to drive up 44 miles. I haven't been able to meet up w/the monthly, local group b/c of schedule conflicts.
I will watch the Divergent movies when I can. Of course they're "Hollywoodized." Yeah, the second book was okay at times for me but by the end I understood its direction. I'm a bit underwhelmed about the whole secret thing.
What great fun and look at all the goodies! Enjoy your week off and I hope you get everything accomplished that you want and have fun in the process! I have a Multnomah in time out....I have a problem with shawls evidently. I have yet to try the FLK heel and also contrasting heels and cuffs and/or toes. I think that's another pattern...afterthought heel. You go girl!
Knit night looks so fun. I am jealous. It sounds like more fun to do it at someone's house than in a public place like they do here.
You many ambitions for this week. I wish you luck and look forward to next weeks post to see how you did.
Looks like your knitting friends are a hoot! And yes, taxes. I have to get on that too. Hope your procrastination went as planned. Or not! lol
