Three days off.

 I've enjoyed my rostered days off. and Happy to say there were no phone calls asking me to go to work. I got to play with my crochet hook and my knitting needles. I ran out of sock yarn this morning, an hour before the postie called with a package.

Not only a ball of yarn, but also a tea bag and a chocolate. What a sweet surprise. I just might shop there again!

While I was waiting for the postie I picked up my crochet and did some more to that.

There are a couple more wavy colourful stripes since I took this photo.

Mid Winter has been and gone and already I notice that the daylight is appearing just a little earlier. I got a photo this morning.

That red sky in the morning was right, the day was mostly overcast and the rain arrived at about 3 pm. 

A good day to stay indoors and play with my yarn.

I mentioned in my last post that I was going to have a sort out and take stock of what I have in progress. I made a start on that and the list is not as long as I feared, however I still moved a few things away, leaving out just the focus items. One place I didn't look yet is the 'To Be Quilted' pile.  I'll get to that.

At some point I'll add a WIP tab or similar to the top of my page. (Jo, look what you started! Thank you. LOL). I think the Chookshed list will see some drastic alterations for the final few months and next years will look a little different too. 

So, what made it onto the priority list?

1) The knitted scarf, to be followed by the mohair sweater.

2) The crochet Ripple Blanket.

3) The Christmas ornaments. There are only a few left to complete.

4) The down in the Garden Stitcheries.

That is it, everything else is out of sight for now. That doesn't mean it will stay that way, you know how my muse works, a squirrel hops by and off I go. LOL But I intend to try.

Now I'm off to play with my crochet hook some more. 

Back to work tomorrow.
