May 2016

May also included Year End Inventory....such a lot to do with that.
Part of me feels a little bit like I should be going for quality over quantity right now. But when you want to make a thank you for someone and you need to get it done quickly you end up with another cast on project. The good side of that though is then you have started and finished your project in one weekend. So for a pair of mittens and a hat in 2 days I did amazingly well. Then there is the sense of guilt I feel in knowing that I should have spent that time working on something that means something to me instead of something I have no idea if it is ever going to be used.
Also, with that in mind, the quantity just happens by default as one feels overwhelmed with always having something complex on the go. I guess I will just never be satisfied.

I also treated myself to some new fibre for spinning and this happened:
Yes that is me turning into a Smurf ever so slowly.


I did also figure out why some text was highlighted white and some was just plain, I want it plain for the record not white. I have changed it for this post and for posts going forward, but if and when I have time I will go backwards. 

FO's: 
  1. Reverie hat
  2. Grammy's Mittens
  3. Corner to Corner blanket in red, black, and white 
      1. (the border is not done, and the ends are not woven in, but my mom does the borders, and the ends will not matter until I need to give it away to someone).
  4. Very odd scarf thing...

        1. Sometimes you just feel like reading a bit of trash, and this was the epitomy of a bit of trash. Yes that does mean I have read the other books in this series, but WHAT A WASTE. Easy fast read, but don't waste the time or the money. Please remind me of that next time I think about reading something like this.
