First Flight
Ahhh, a quieter week. That left time for knitting and weaving. Knit and weave is what I did.
I did my 5" on the scarf that I had for Scarf Travels (a round robin travelling scarf) and got it off to the next person. The next one will arrive next week. I also got a bit more done on Robbyn's Christmas or Birthday Present. idk which it will be yet. Sandy's scarf is also on the go now. Who knows what will happen over the weekend with it.
The mantle Scarf is almost done. If we're lucky it'll be done tonight. It won't be the best, but it'll be better than nothing and I'll include a note to make a new one next year. For starters it's narrower than intended even though I double, no triple checked my math and it should have come out right. Also it's somehow coming out 30" shorter than it's supposed to! I have no clue how that happened either. I remeasured the spots I used and those are the right length. I guess for a 4th weaving project and a 1st with dimensions to meet I came close.
As for the weekend my roommate & I will be manning a table for NAMI at an annual Health & Wellness Fair. It's fun. Last year my roommate % I got our picture taken with the Governor.

The Obsessed Time
What a week. It's been one hectic one. The hilights being getting the next section of Scarf Travels in the mail and having my friend's store tomorrow. TOday also had part of the most trying part of the week.
One of the monthly meetings was today. We've been developing a mission statement and today was the final part. Trying to get 20+ people to agree on 1 thing can make people want to pull their hair out. I actually left the room at one time. I would have pulles out knitting & worked on it, but feared for my knitting.
Oh, before I forget, I got the title for this post from Random Title Generator and any other entries with titles that don't make sense you can figure cane from here (i'll try to remember to tag them).

What a week
It's turning out to be one of those weeks. A week where every day is spent running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Monday Robbyn and me were doing satisfaction interviews and the usual errands.
Yesterday we were at a meeting an hour away for the morning to come back and do more satisfaction interviews, attend another meeting, and dash off for a quick dinner and glass class. We were on the run for 12+ hours.
Today we were at the same location as yesterday for yet another meeting. We'll be there Friday too. Tomorrow will be spent in Hartfors and ducking out for a doctor's appointment. Next week is a little calmer, but still a bit wacky.

Knitting Away
I've been knitting away on a Christmas present for my roommate. She knows what it is and all. I had her come with me to pick the yarn out too. The part I'm not looking forward to is the lining. I know it's going to be easier that the last time I lined a purse, but I'm dreading it just the same. The last time I lined a purse which was also the first time I hand did it and it was denim. Who knows what I was thinking.
One scarf that I'm working on wasn't going so well so it got frogged and is enjoying a new life with a new pattern. Hopefully this will be the last time. Once these 2 get done I'll be back to my weaving as I still need to do the mantle scarf.
