What I’ve been doing instead of posting:

~Chasing kids, mostly. The little booger-heads are hell to civilize. Stupid phases.

~Working an annoying mid-shift schedule at the Mega Lo Mart.

~Knitting a hat on my lunch break. Slowly, because knitting invites conversation and even though I can knit stockinette in the round and talk at the same time, the split in concentration slows me down.

~Not working on the ripple, because I need the kids to be in bed to haul that project out. I have a pic of the start of it, though:

~Made Evangeline:

and a New York Scarf:

and New York Hat that is too big to really be worn, but will have a photo taken eventually because it was my first hat knit in the round and so is cool anyway.

~Making sets of dishcloths for a friend.

~Did I mention chasing kids?

~Did I mention our schedule being all shot to hell?

~Oh, and I had some sort of flulike bug that knocked me out for a good solid week and is still hanging around a week after that. And I’ve been trying to finish winterizing the apartment. And trying to get things clean-clean instead of just barely good enough. And stressing out about Christmas, because we’re wicked broke and because the family shenanigans are exasperating. And…well, you get the picture…

Hopefully I’ll be able to find some sort of rhythm here soon.
