Ecoknits - again

June 29, 2008

Note to self: Must get more photos on the site. I’ve got boxes of scrumptious yarn and gorgeous needles stacked here there and everywhere, but I’ve just not had a child-free, dog-free moment to get everything out. Must do that this week, especially since I started an Ecoknits group on Ravelry. And there’s people joined who I didn’t invite! Woo-hoo!

On a more mundane front, last night I very nearly quit. If I could have found someone to tender my resignation to, I would have done. Except there isn’t anyone, and if I quit, then there wouldn’t be anyone to do my job. And I can’t quit if I’m the boss, can I? Although sometimes I wish I wasn’t so in charge. Can’t someone else take responsibility for a while? Can I have the weekend off please? Go away somewhere for the night? Or even just crawl into bed for 24 hours and let the world pass me by?

Yeah, I know, it’s been one of those weeks. Only three weeks left until the end of term though. Yippee!! I have to organise Myf a birthday party though first. And sort out the final completion certificate for the extension. And then I have to start decluttering big time if we’re going to get this house up for sale before the bottom drops out of the housing market completely. I won’t even mention the bloody Land Rovers on the drive, dropping oil everywhere and taking up any spare time that becomes available.

On a more cheerful note, I’ve just cast on a lovely lacy patterned top for me, in a creamy coloured organic cotton. It’s so soft! I just hope the gauge is right, as I didn’t do a swatch, but hey, it’s all knitting, right? :)

  8. Take it easy Kris! You can always come down here for a break away….. sometimes that’s all that’s needed to re-energise and get focused on stuff that’s been ‘in yer face’ for a while…. We miss you… it’s been far too long…
