And have been working hard to get out.
Bought a new toy (a Nook
e-reader/tablet (the Nook HD)--and got a great bargain.
I had 2 gift cards ($25 gift cards for
B&N), and $100 gift. When I got to B&N (yes, I went to a
brick and mortar store—really a brick building!) There was an
unadvertised sale--($40 off) so with all the taxes (Over 8% in NYC),
and all the savings, the Nook ended up costing me under $100. It's
an early birthday gift to myself—Next up is filling the Nook with
books (there is a long list and it grows all the time of things I
want to read!)
I found a new cast on, too, and added a
new video to my web page. Every time I think I have learned every
cast on there is, yet another comes along! 58 cast ons on my list,
and several edits done to make the pages easier to read (more to
come!)
I even got some sewing done (not much,
just overcasting the edges on next project—a denim vest) and sorted
through fabrics. I search some boxes and found more fabric I forgot
I had!) and planned what fabric is going to become what—I have so
much fabric!
After the vest, a denim skirt, and a indigo blue
jumper. After that-- well then there are LOTs of ideas to chose from. But I haven't finish anything in the
past few weeks.
Got laundry done—Washed, dried and
folded--
but I have been getting dresses every day from the clean
laundry basket.. I haven't quite gotten it put a way (a week
now!)--except for the socks. (and my sock bin is overflowing!)
I been out, and seeing friends, and
doing all I can to get back my groove.. and haven't been very
successful.
Finally, in the past few days, I have
gotten some knitting done—not much—but each row I do, encourages
me to do another. The lace is emerging from the fancy edge—and
every row is getting shorter.. 10 rows in means, there are 20 fewer
stitches per row—and it only gets better with every row.
