I spent Monday at a Service Day for work…I got to volunteer at a non-profit here in DC helping them with their fundraising software and processes. I loved it!

Can’t wait to see you this next weekend, should be wonderful

Love your Noro scarves!

I spent Monday recovering from Madrona (fiber arts retreat in Tacoma, WA). I had a half or full day class EVERY day and boy, is my brain full of new knitting info. I was glad I had taken Monday off (not a holiday so a vacation day) so I could sleep in, sort through my new purchases and class materials and just generally laze around. You are absolutely right on those kinds of days Sheri – NOT for a bunch of errands and cleaning or whatever – a rest day means REST.

And knitting!

Me? I had to work, but left early to go to a very long opera. Tristan und Isolde. It was great. I had a very good time. My mom? Not so much… And BFF Liz has the cold from h*ll, so she couldn’t go.

I had yesterday off too (from work, that is), but my yarn stash outgrew it’s room so I moved yarn all day! Have been finishing up a lot of things so I’ll be ready to start new things soon.

So glad that you and the elves are getting some down time. Y’all deserve it!!! It’s just a regular day around here. We homeschool and our homeschooling association has a co-op that we participate in on Mondays. No down time here. And of course I am expecting some new knitting needles to come(est. time of delivery Feb16th), but with the post office being closed I will have to wait another day. Ugh! Enjoy your time off!!!

Yesterday was Family Day here so we had the day off too. We took the kids to a local coservation area for hiking. The park also has a farm and we saw newborn baby bunnies, and some older ones, born on Christmas Eve. They were too cute for words! Also some sheep about to lamb in the next couple of weeks, horses, goats etc. Later we had some more of the Valentine’s cookies which the girls made from your recipe. They’re a great hit! So yummy! Thanks, Sheri, and glad to hear you had some time off, too.

My son had school yesterday as well so I cleaned house (we had the neices and the “boy” this past weekend) and scored me some knitting time!! I finished the first sock of my sons 3rd pair (hope this one fits longer, sigh…) and got started on the second one. Today I will most likely work on the DiC Cable and Lace Cardi for my Grandma and and do mot much else

I enjoyed my day off yesterday. I went on a couple of nice walks and made a German pancake for breakfast. There was some knitting, but it was garter stitch and that is just boring as all get out right now.

I really like the look of the Noro Scarf, but it just seemed really expensive to make a scarf with 4 skeins of that yarn. But they look so nice and seem to work up so fast (or maybe it is just that so many people are making them that there is a new one coming off the needles every day or so) that is looking more and more likely that I will break down.
