Neglected in a corner

I have really neglected my poor knitting blog. Maybe it’s because I haven’t been knitting. But, in all fairness, I haven’t been sewing either. Lately, I have been running after a teenager getting ready for her trip to Disney with the marching band (lucky kid! she leaves next week), and a sick 4th grader. I got to spend my St. Patrick’s Day evening in an Urgent Care, when I would rather have been in a pub. But, such is the life of a mother. (sigh) On top of all of that, my daily commute has gotten longer. Due to 3 (yes, 3) bridge repairs, I now have 3 detours I have to take to get everywhere I need to be. That has added roughly 10 miles extra to my 65+ mile commute. Thank you, Great State of Ohio for planning the repair of the bridges in my route, all at the same time! In the little spare time I have, I have been doing some hand embroidery, just to try out a few things for a sewing project I have going. But, I may get the chance to knit this weekend. After I clean the house, and run arrands, we will have company, and company that has recently learned to knit. lol. Cassi will be over this weekend. Just before Christmas, she picked up knitting. She thought it would be a great hobby, as she was switching jobs that involves a lot of travel, and I mean a lot of travel. What better hobby to have when you have fly every week? So, that means I will need to get my butt down to the sewing room, get the hanging clothes rack that fell off the wall back up, and get it straightened out. Since the sewing room has been in place, us ladies have retreated down there to watch tv and knit, leaving the living room to the boys. That being said, I may want to go down there this evening and start cleaning up, since I started rearranging and never finished last month. lol. And speaking of rearranging. Last month when I started, I went and bought a rolling cart that has 3 drawers for my sock and dishcloth yarn. It looks very nice, if a little over stuffed. I didn’t think I had that much sock yarn. Oops. I will have to take pics and post them.  So, in the mean time, to all of those out there that are still knitting, Happy Knitting!
