WIP Wednesday

I am very tempted to put a big old Ellen the Melon face picture of myself up here for WIP Wednesday, simply because I'm such an exhaustive work in progress.

Really, it's amazing the family tolerate me so. I almost did a 10 on Tuesday Carole Knits post, but as I continued to write up basically all the chores and things my husband currently does, I felt pretty embarrassed and wondered what I do besides bark orders at The Kid and clap like a human metronome for flute practice...

Yeah, I decided to abandon that post.

I mentioned to Kepanie that I'm also all disheveled (as the assistant at work so young and fresh reminded me) from a combination of Daylight Savings, poor sleep and allergies. (The young assistant kindly and sincerely suggested frequent face washing -- it helps.)

The good thing is that the work stuff ...  I'm hopping through it, like fluffy kittens and bunnies in the sunshine. So you focus that spotlight right?

I have been keeping up with my exercise to prepare for my walk/run 12k this Sunday. It's just cardio so I have some stamina, but this is called exercise in the evening. It makes me tired. 12K will take me approximately an hour and thirty minutes to get through it to be honest ... if I'm doing well. I never said I was swift. Which reminds me have you seen Katiebee's swift? Coolest ever, right?

In the hour or two between the sMothering and exercising and neglecting of domestic duties I am trying to keep up with my volunteering for the school, book leveling project. We are getting so close to finishing the classrooms, I can taste it!

Alas, I am not really finding much time to knit or read. Yet Sunday evening when I was watching the True Detective finale, I worked on a sock.  A new sock, in winter colors. Why? because it's some fun Zauberball and I knit summer and fall socks, but no winter ones. (Mr. Dress Up doesn't count, he's special!) Also I saw how nicely Wee Pleasures' ball knit up. And I dunno, I couldn't face "fixing" my WIPs any further. Holy Hot Toddies I have touched The Great Divide due to my great underestimations of yarn to D E A T H. There just hasn't been a sufficient amount of time or love to deal with the cardigan.

I'm sure a less angry, irrational knitting time will come when I touch it again and kill it finish it. I am so close.

Tell me are your current projects, knitting and life-like are they giving you joy? Are they frustrating you?
