Will the week ever end so I can go frolic in the mountains and knit to my hearts content? This last couple weeks at work has been grueling. I am used to being fairly busy, but this putting out fires once a day and non-stop crap is enough. Thankfully it has not included too many extra hours, but I am just drained when I leave this place. the worst part is that it has not given me adequate time to update my blog. Now that is just rude.

I un-boundoff the Noro Shrug and added a few inches to the collar, so much that I used up all the yarn and didn't think to realize I needed some of that said yarn to seam up. Dscn1904 Don't look too close I seamed up partly with other random yarn. I really like it, it fits well too. It might be a little baggy on the sides but I can deal with that.

I didn't wait long to cast on for the next project, another Noro one. This one I am almost done with the back, it is a super fast knit.Dscn1906 Not sure if the knit two buy one is getting me to knit faster or what, but when I finish this sweater I can buy another lot of yarn for a new sweater. Hmmm maybe I need a special treat if I knit 3 then buy one. I must ponder this.

The only other exciting news is that I finally have a real dryer. I was using this old piece of crap that was in the house before we moved in, it seriously took about 3 hours to dry a quarter of the laundry out of the washer. The floor vent on the kitchen floor and a drying wrack was faster. My father came by to see the new digs and I sweet talked him into installing the right electrical outlet so I could move the new fancy dryer from the garage into the house. I love it, I have been playing with the settings and what not, who knew dryers could be so exciting.
