Well not really. To get caught back up on house work and the like I had to take off from work today. Also I got no sleep last night at all. My allergies are the worst they have ever been, I had a toddler that did not want to sleep and a husband who would not stop snoring. But, hey look at me I'm blogging again and the house is clean-er.
Right, I have a big presentation tomorrow! I haven't done anything to get it ready yet and I hate speaking it front of people. Not to mention that I have not started getting ready for the garage sale yet. Needless to say there will not be a free pattern post today and I need to go and get my butt into gear right now.
In life, things have been really busy as you can probably tell from the lack of posting. Today is mothers day though and I can do what ever I want to. Most of which seems to be chores but what are ya gonna do.
Speaking of knitty, I love this site. They have high quality patterns and articles and it is all free. I know everyone has been there but just in case you haven't please go check it out and show some support.
We have had a very busy weekend. So, not much on the knitting front has gotten done. I have not even been able to role up an entire skein into a ball. I hope tonight to at least get that finished. We have seen all manner of relatives and have been to the May Fair which is an arts festival where we live. We have even been eating out and today is just as busy as the last two. Now we have to fit all the house work into one day to make up for the last two days.
I have also ordered to books on designing your own knits. I can not wait till these get here. I have some really great ideas that I can't wait to try out. I don't really know if designing is something that I am capable of doing but I guess we will find out. Most likely the hard way. That's the way I learn most things.
Real quick, I just want to say that designers who take the time to create a pattern and then offer it for free are very generous and I thank you for that. Today's pattern is Hug by Jennifer Thurston. I love me some shrugs. I think I stated that last time but hey, I love shrugs. This is another very fast knit with super bulky yarn and size 10.5 needles.
Life
I love it when there is a convention and the boss and half the lab are all away in Florida sitting on the beach with out me. No, really, I do. The lab is very laid back.
Today's free pattern is Blackberry. This pattern can be found at Knitty.com. I love shrugs! I am always freezing at work, especially in the summer when they have the air cranked up. I also like this pattern because it is knit in a bulky yarn. That would make it really fast to knit up.
In other news today, does your brain ever hurt just from thinking really hard all day for eight plus hours. Mine does today. I ran an experiment today that really took all day and was somewhat grueling. Glad that's over. Now I think it is time for a nice Jack and Coke after the little one goes to bed.
Yes, I am still knitting even though it may be hard to believe. I know still no pictures. It is amazing what I can't get around to with FB around. I got BP's hat done and I have been doing more work on the sweater in the few minutes that I can each day. FB is going through a spell were he wants to be held all the time or at least entertained. I am exhausted.
Wow, work has really got me down. It sucks so bad. How is that for a post!
Most of the time things are never as bad as you think that they are going to be. Like work today. It was not near as bad as I thought it was going to be, which is weird since everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Just goes to show you can't go your whole life dreading things.
As a whole this weekend really sucked. Me and B had a fight, the second one this week. We are just so stressed about work and everything else going on it was bound to happen at some point. Today was not too bad. We took F Bob out to have his first Easter. Not like he could do much he is only 6 mo. old so really it was just stressful having him around that many people. I hope that everything goes better at work this week because last week may have been the worst week I have had yet. Turns out I am a real stick in the mud and I don't like being around people a lot lately. They just seem to be driving me crazy. I haven't done anything artistic in weeks, for lack of time. I think that I just need to make some time and do something (anything) this week. I think that it will help me get out of this rut. All this is just rambling but I feel better now.
