Hello Everyone.  There is great excitement here at The Home For The Unemployed!  This is the last Monday of unemployment!

Can you hardly stand it?!?

That’s right, next week Monday I will be sitting in orientation at my new job!

So, this week I will be a woman on a mission.

There is laundry to do.

There is cleaning to do.  (Okay, maybe my version of cleaning is different than yours, but I will endeavor to get a bit done anyways!)

There is knitting to do.

And more knitting to do.

And maybe even a bit more knitting to do.

Holy cow that is a lot of knitting.

My poor knitting needles are going to have a shock to their system next week.  They are going to be languishing around with unfinished projects hanging off them.  They are going to find themselves sad, lonely, and wondering where I went!  So, this week I am going to work like a fiend to try and finish up a few projects.

Just to update you on where my knitting projects stand – I am to the crown decreases on Gretel.  Hopefully this will be off my needles today!  I am still plugging away at the Hemlock Ring blanket, I have 2 and a half skeins of yarn left.  I have lots more rounds to do.  I am not sure that I have enough yarn to finish.  Yeah, just ducky, huh?  Not sure how that saga will end – but I will keep you posted!  Then there are my Super Secret May Day Swap socks – I am heading down to the library today to enlarge the pattern.  I am hoping that will help.  I am having a hard time getting in the flow of this pattern.  I love the yarn, I mean, what is not to love about STR?  This stuff is divine.  Heavenly.  I just need to get my brain wrapped around all the little twists and turns of the chart and do some memorization.  Problem is, there is lots to memorize – and it is minuscule.   Not saying I need reading glasses or anything – really, I have tried and they give me a headache!  But, there are many figures to memorize – many!  Lots of going back and forth between the chart and the key.  Slow knitting people.  Slow!  Anyways, I am hoping that enlarging will help enormously!  There are a few other projects, but they are not in the “get done or else” category.

So, I am off to clean up a bit and get to knitting.

Have a good one all!
