weekend

So I think I may be sick. I took two naps today, and now I’m feeling like a zombie. Can’t sleep, can’t stay awake. Plus I feel like hell. Great timing, Di.

I’ve also been doing a little fall cleaning. It’s gotten cold here, so I have to drag out all my winter stuff and put away the summer stuff and, etc. It’s amazing the things I’ve managed to squirrel away.

For instance, I have all these skeins of really gorgeous yarn and no idea what to make with them. I haven’t knit or crocheted anything in a year so I feel like I should start small. For instance, I have four full skeins of that super chunky “rope” yarn (in four different colors, natch — forest green, cream, oatmeal heather, and navy) and no idea what to make with it. I suppose I could make something in blue and cream (Boola Boola) or green and cream, or green and oatmeal heather. Does anyone have a suggestion? Any knitters out there? The free pattern of the vest on the label is ug-ly.

I also have about 14 skeins of this lovely thin peach stuff. really pretty. No idea what to do with it. I think I tried to make a shawl out of it once and it didn’t work, so I tore it all out. And I know I have enough skeins of this really pretty thin silk/cotton blend to make a tank top out of, but I don’t have a nice tank top pattern.

Also, you know, the willpower. I feel so dull.
