I feel like it is the calm before the storm. The storm of school starting. Marching Band has started in full swing, camp is this week and next week will be all afternoon practice. We have picked up the "packets" for two of the schools and emergency cards are filled out. Helen is trying to decide what afterschool activities she wants to be involved in this year. Lily is awaiting going to the new school to find out about EVERYTHING. She says it is not fair that her sisters get to get packets and she doesn't. I think all three of them are excited to start school. Now they need to start going to be earlier so they can get up at the crack o'dawn.
I purchased new yarn yesterday to start my Olive Branch Hoodie http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/olive-branch-yoga-hoodie. I need to finish at least one project before I start the Olive Branch Hoodie. I am excited for this partially because the yarn is heavy worsted and much larger than I have been knitting with on my mitten and Lily's slippers. I have been trying to finish the 2nd slipper for Lily. I noticed as I was halfway done with the side that I was knitting in stockinette not garter. Ugghhh!!!! I am not going back to change it. The two slippers will just have different stitches, it just shows it was made with love.
I have started my christmas knitting and it is going well.
I have finished the cuff of my Anemoi Mittens for me on the second mitten, yeah me. I really like the colorwork and I am chooseing to start more projects that are similiar.
I downloaded the Magic Catalogue from Project Gutenburg, WOW, so many free books that I can now download to the Kindle. I need to be doing more free and less store bought books on it. I love reading on the Kindle and will choose it over a paper book when I can. I have been rereading the Harry Potter series before bed but I won't carry it around like I do with the Kindle.
It will be a busy next few weeks as I am working just about everyday for the next couple of weeks. I will enjoy the OT and comp time while I can get it.
