Yarn Along

Oh, beloved Yarn Along.  And blessed sleep - I managed to keep Bigger in bed this morning until 7.  So instead of writing this post at 5:30 (which I really expected) I'm writing at rest time (and hoping that Smallest will finish falling asleep and stay that way for a little while, the boys are watching a toy train dvd because they don't "do" naps as a rule.) 

This week I managed to get the second sleeve onto the needles.  But that was it.  And I also managed to knit together some stitches on my scarf which messed with pattern and I need to rip it back to find where I went wrong.  But I need to have enough time (and focus) to do it all in one sitting so I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to it.  Granted, it doesn't mess it up to the point of being ugly so I could just keep going.  And boy is that tempting.  But I want to do it right - maybe I'm a perfectionist, maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment I'm really not sure which. 

I finished Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter this week.  It was a really interesting story.  Granted, I don't think I want to see the movie - the gore factor is probably way too much for me.  Other than that I'm still working on This Is My Body.  For a short book (only 63 pages) It's taking me a long time to get through.  I suppose I just don't have the focus for it at the moment.  So I picked up All Wound Up by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee and Mason-Dixon Knitting Outside the Lines by Kay Gardiner and Ann Shayne at the library.  If I can't do much knitting at least I can read about it, right? 

And now off to link up at small things and see what else is being worked on :)  And maybe finish up that sleeve while a certain someone sleeps somewhere other than on my shoulder ;-)
