Looky-loo
Check 'er out! My journey with the never-ending green yarn is getting closer to the end! (Only two 17" sleeves to go. Yeah, don't remind me!)
I was feeling the need for a little celebration, so I blocked the three completed pieces. I am pretty happy with how they look. Hopefully the stockinette curl will calm down a little. There is only one tiny area on that whole front and back that had any pooling - can you see it on the left front, even with the armhole decreases? Really, it's not bad at all. Matt is still not "convinced" that he likes the color, but I think he might just be razzing me. Lord knows he better wear this a lot this winter!!!
I had a very relaxing weekend - I went to church on Saturday night so I had ALL DAY on Sunday to relax around the house. I did some laundry, knit, listened to some podcasts, and....
Attacked the craft room!
I am not too proud to show you the "before" picture - this is it in all of its junky glory. It doesn't really look much different now, but maybe tomorrow I'll show you a picture of my newly organized yarn stash. I certinaly don't need to go yarn shopping anytime soon!
I hate cleaning with a passion, but having a ncely organized room is so rewarding it ALMOST justifies the work.
To make up for last week's slackitude in the running department, I am going to try to run or work out in some way every day this week.
I'm off to the gym!

Oh, craft room clean-up. I need to do a whole lot of that too. Yuck. Maybe you'll inspire me. The sweater looks good (I can't see the pooling and I refuse to look for it). I'm sure the hubby will wear it a lot (I'm with you, he'd better).

Seeing this reminds me how much I need to work on Kris's sweater. You are such a good wifey ;) He will like it, I am sure!

I'm jealous! I wish I had a craft room.

Wow. Kudos for getting those pieces done and blocked! I am still trying to find the motivation to finish Sir Paul's sweater. :(
