Ah, Friday’s here. This weekend’s gonna be great. My sister’s Odyssey of the Mind team will be traveling to the state tournament and since I missed the regionals, I’m making the trek with the family too. And since most of the day will be “hurry up and wait,” I’ll get plenty of crafty time!
What will be coming with me, you ask?
- Well, certainly my cross-stitch, which is getting particularly close to being done with. I’ve got most of the main pattern finished (Santa, his sleigh, reindeer, etc) and am now working on all the little decorative things around the outside.
- The Boyfriend Socks, which are coming along nicely. I’m really pleased with the pattern, though I do wish the boy had chosen a color other than black, for Pete’s sake.
- Provided I pick up some more needles, I’ll be taking my yarn for the beret. This means I’ll have to make a stop by the LYS, but I’ve got no problem with that at all.
- Mrs. Darcy may be coming with me. I haven’t decided yet.
Yep, that’s right! Mrs. Darcy has been started! Well, started as in, I’ve cast on and am knitting the first row and hoping that my sizing modifications will pay off. Please work. Please, knitting gods, I gauge swatched! I switched needles two different times before I got gauge, but I DID get gauge!
In other news, prom is in a week and I think I’m going to have to sew a matching tie for the boyfriend. Good grief, the things I do for him *head shake* Ah well. Green is such a hard color to match, so it’s probably going to be easier for me just to sew one that for us to try to track one down. I’ll find a tie no one wears and deconstruct it to try to figure out how the heck to sew a tie.
Anyway, my throat is feeling a bit scratchy and I’m a little stuffed up in the sinuses, so I think I’d better go and get some rest so that I can properly cheer the team on to nationals!
