I went MIA there for a bit. Actually, I went S.O.A.
The TV in my area died so I've been re-watching nothing but DVDs for the past several weeks. I pulled out the Sons of Anarchy set and have pretty much done nothing but watch bikers and knit on the Insanity blanket ever since. (Yeah, see all those post-its scattered everywhere? They are reminders of the things I'm supposed to be doing instead of knitting.)
It's a good thing S.O.A. is six?? seven?? maybe even eight seasons long because this blanket is going to take me a lifetime LIFETIME! It's 17 squares wide which means it will need to be at minimum 20 squares in length. If not at work, I really have pretty much done nothing but knit on this monster since I started it and I've only just started the eighth square of the second row. A lifetime, I tell you!
I did take a brief few minutes off from knitting so I could pick some daffodills. We have a bumper crop this year. I guess they really liked all the rain we have gotten over the last bunch of months.
And of course I took an afternoon off to attend Hayden's Elsa's Frozen birthday party. I'm ashamed to admit, I still have not watched Frozen, but I feel like I have. Hayden quotes it and sings the songs constantly. Like father, like daughter.
Happy knitting!
I can't believe how big Hayden is! Wasn't she just born, like, last year? That blanket is going to be epic -- and if you keep knitting on it like you have been, it's going to be finished a lot sooner than you think!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope you are right about the blanket. You're definitely right about Hayden. She's growing up so fast!
Deletewhat a beautiful birthday girl!!
