Another Post Today

Obviously I have a little free time on my hands today...

I'm #677 on the Ravelry waiting list. I really really hope I get my invite today or tomorrow. I can't wait to play around with it.

Blue Sky

The sky is blue right now for one of the requisite 10 minute breaks between clouds, and it reminded me of these pictures of Aruba. It is so beautiful there.



And our hotel:

UFOs and Q2 Goals

I have way too many UFOs. No, I'm not chasing space ships. UFOs are unfinished objects (in knitting). They are starting to stress me out and take up way too much room in my teeny-tiny living room. I've decided on a new system. I am only going to have 3 projects going at once: two socks, one lace project, and one other project. My goal is to whittle down my UFOs to this level by the end of April.

I also want to set some goals for Q2. They are:

Socks (4 pairs) - at least two of which will be Pulsations socks (one done, cast on the second) and Holly Socks (two down to the heal turn). I'm also thinking about the Simply Ginny and Lacy Mock Cable Socks, although that might change depending on what other patterns I find.

Lace (2) - Julia Shawl and purple lace scarf

Other (3) - Definitely my bag and the afghan, and then maybe fingerless gloves.
