So I swatch the darned Mystery Shawl like eleventeen times to find just the right size needs and then on the 4th of July I cast one and got the first unpatterned section done. I was going to do Chart A last night, but I just didn't feel like knitting at all. I've done Clue 1, Chart A enough times now that I know I can easily whip it out in one evening....with plenty of time to spare. But I just didn't feel like knitting....I was tired all day and then Jim and I took a nap at 3:00pm and slept until 7:00pm....which screwed my night all up!
I got up this morning and have busted my butt all day. I moved some railroad ties....by myself because my 16 year old son said they were too heavy for him to move......and we both know that he's a lot stronger than I am!!! So he couldn't say a word after that and moved and stacked the rest of them. Then I cleaned out a dresser in the garage and then fixed all the drawers because they kept falling off the tracks. I wound up all the cords that Richard sorted yesterday and put them in big ziploc bags....then carried them out to the garage and put them in said dresser. Scrubbed the front porch floor, walls, doors, and walkway on my hands and knees.
Went looking for the tire that fell off the VW Bug while it was getting towed here...to no avail.
So I am beat to hell right now. Every part of me hurts like no tomorrow. So I just got out of the shower and I'm going to take some Motrin and start knitting.
Oh yeah....back to the knitting. So early this morning Jim sent me an email from Chris at work saying that we were invited to a co-ed shower for a gal who works with them. I called to RSVP and find out what to bring. YEAH!!!! They already know it's a boy, so all I have to do is finish the Grandma's Lots of Love blanket and I won't even have to buy anything. I told Jim and Rich that between now and the 20th that all I would be doing is knitting so that I could get this thing done.
So it's OUT of Hibernation and the Mystery Shawl is going to have to wait until after this baby blanket is done. I'm so glad it's a boy!!! LOL!!!
