In which I lament my lack of organization...

So tonight hubby and I will be sleeping on the mattress on the floor in the living room. Why? Well, I'm glad you asked.

See, I have ONE completed Monkey in a Prom Dress sock. It's taken me forever to get to the second one, because at first I lost my size 2 DPN's. Then, I got a set of Knit Picks Harmony sock needles, and at that point I couldn't find my yarn. Here's the already knit sock...

So tonight I was determined. I tore my room APART. Took stuff and threw it on the box spring of the bed after taking the mattress off so I could see underneath the whole thing. I finally found the darned yarn... between the dresser and the wall. Go figure. But my room's completely trashed. So I just put the mattress in the living room on the floor, because I am not in the mood to clean it up.

So now I can finish monkey.

Except for one thing...

I can't find my pattern printout. Mind you, there's nothing preventing me from looking it up online. But I am currently lacking printing abilities. So I get to write the flippin' thing out and work on it from there. Gah.

Anyone got an HP inkjet printer for me?

Short but sweet

NaBloPoMo day two! Just a quick post because I'm getting ready for hubby to come home. I did knit a bit on socks last night. I'm enjoying it quite a bit, and remembering what I love about socks. On the other hand, I am suddenly itching to work on my stole. We'll see what I feel like doing later (if I even have the opportunity to knit this weekend). Posting on weekends will be a challenge with hubby home. Wish me luck!

NaBloPoMo day 1

So it's November 1. I have so many things OTN right now, I'm gonna endeavor to finish a bunch of SOCKS this month. Yes, that means my SotS and my sweaters are gonna languish briefly. I need to finish at least one or two pairs... which also means finding my other ball of Prom Dress yarn. I could get that other Monkey off my back quickly with that.

Kidlets had a blast last night and brought in much loot. half of the total filled my biggest bowl to overflowing. We combine everything and put it out of reach. The elder kids get to keep their school loot separate. That way we're able to avoid the whole "S/he got more than me!" deal, as I distribute it regularly. It also means mum and dad get their share of the loot. Which is more than fair, as I carried Caleb's big butt around all night. Rick was home to take us out for the first time in three years. The kids thought that was cool, because he grew up in the town we live in and knew where to go for the good stuff (including a stop at his step-dad's house where they were giving out full-sized candy - 3 bags/pieces together in a baggy!).

All in all, a good night, and a good start to today, because waking up with hubby is always a good thing, even if it's at 4:15am. At least I got to go back to sleep. Heh.
