Monday Monday

Did you ever notice that the stereo quality on that track (actually, on all Mamas & Papas tracks) is really poor? The guys' voices are in one ear, the gals' in another. Probably means something deep. Maybe not. Dunno.

I did finish mom's Mother's Day socks on time, however we didn't do the Mother's Day thing yesterday because Peter had worked 16 1/2 hours on Saturday and just needed to not go anywhere yesterday. All good, I got more knitting done! The first Golden Snitch Hat is complete except for 1 of the 2 I-cord ties off the earflaps. For my first try at intarsia, I'm reasonably pleased with it, although I think I goofed on the chart a couple times, but I fudged it with backstitch so it looks ok. The second one will be better. Pictures to follow. I think actually with the second one I may add a few stitches as well because it is VERY snug at pattern size, and I think one of my recipients has a slightly larger head than I do. I think another inch will do it. Fun, quick knit though, even with the fiddling around with three colours. Yay Marian!

Today seems to be 2 steps forward, 1 step back, so I am making progress but slowly. One task that should have taken all morning took less than an hour, so I started on tomorrow's work but keep making stupid mistakes. My head is not in the game today, and I don't know why - I'm well-rested, well-fed, and in a pretty good mood. Must be the weather.

Tonight I am going to my first Ottawa Knitting Guild meeting - should be very interesting, it's the election of Officers night and I think you learn a lot about an organization from that type of meeting. Plus so many of my local knitting friends are members, it just makes sense that I join so I can see the gals more often! Looking forward to it.

Speaking of looking forward, next week is mine and Peter's 1st wedding anniversary, and because of his work schedule being a bit weird, he gets Tuesday off (because the guys he depends on for his work get Monday off - bizarre but whatever). So I'm taking the day off as well - YAY 4-day weekend! - and looking forward to some quality time together. Weather permitting, we will probably get the garden in and the flower beds cleaned up and annuals planted. If it rains, well... there's always Warcraft and movies. And knitting! I got an early anniversary present, some pretty alpaca-blend sock yarn, but first I want to finish off some of the existing UFOs. Starting the second Globe sock tonight. Woot!
