WIP Wednesday

What a week!  & it's only Wednesday!  

I don't know who is more exhausted?  The boys or I?  I could just go curl up in bed right now!  But no chance of that happening as we still have school this afternoon.  Tomorrow we can do nothing...  I think.  I had better check the calendar.  I think tomorrow is blank.  Fingers crossed it is!  

Yesterday was a huge day for all of us. We had an early drop off of the boys to the grandparents where they spent the day, while Stuart & I drove for 3.5 hrs to see someone.  OK, so I got to knit all the way there.  Job done & was a good time to go & spoil myself at the local wool shop!  Very excited!  I spent an hour there.  Fortunately Stuart & I are happy to meet up later & shop where we want to for a bit.  So I could browse all I liked among the wide range of yarns that I don't normally get to see.  I even treated myself to a couple!  So excited! 

But then another 3.5 hrs drive home.  OK, another 3.5 hrs to knit.  I got a lot done on the back of my cardi! Will see what I can fit in later today!  Quite enjoying it so far & I love the cotton!

Hi Mandy. Thanks for visiting. Thought I'd pop by and say hi. The cardi looks great. I wish I could knit...but then that would just be one more craft that I would have to make time for!

Thanks for your comment on my rag quilt. I'm completely in envy of your handwork. That's a weak spot of mine, so I especially admire yours.

Your cardigan is beautiful. Your knitting is beautiful! I scrolled through the rest of your blog below this post and enjoyed myself quite a lot. Your boys are very cute. Your brother was also very cute! And I'm definitely a second-hand-store (op store?) convert. I find the best bargains. Sometimes I find men's shirts for a dollar and find I've purchased at least half a yard of fabric. You have a fun blog.

Beautiful cardigan. I love the color, and hope that it feels and wears as beautiful as it looks. :) Have a nice no-bloggy day tomorrow!
