Always more exuses

I know, always more exuses. My family and I have been struggling to move our Grandmother out of her house this week*, and before that my sister's dog had puppies!

*I don't even want to begin getting into what sorts of things we found abandoned in drawers and closets. (She shivers violently)

Oh, the busyness of it all!

Oh, and all that with two weeks of constant flu. Uh, yuck. Out vile flem, out I say!

Needless to say, I have been absent. I will put up more stuff soon. I stopped working on the crocheted piece because it kept getting smaller and smaller at the top and curling into a half moon, so I looked for a proper pattern at lionbrand.com which they have for free, and started working on a knitting piece, since I'm more familiar in that area. Anyway, I started a sweater for my three year old niece, once again! I bought a cool knitting book, which I have to admit, is quite advanced but helpful once you learn the basics. I'll put a link to it in my next post, too snuffly to get up and look at the title right now, :D.

The sweater is actually turning out much better than I expected, but I have to say that I practiced purling, knitting, and casting on stitches for a total of about four or five hours before I was satisfied enough to keep going. So I've finished the back part of the sweater and I bound it off, that is to say, finished it up so that it is by itself and off the needles without worry of it unraveling. I will post images of it tonight or tomorrow.

Now where did I put my box of tissues?

Oh, and stop nibbling your nails and take out the trash!
