« Gift Swap Knitting and lots of “signing up” checking in on the list…. »
Thursdays are my day off. The whole freakin’ day is MINE!
Last Thursday was the day my printer exploded (well, not a real EXPLOSION, but it hit that magic expiration date that all printers have when they suddenly, after like 2 years of excellent service, decide to chew paper and ka-CHONG and just act up in awful ways.) Of course it was a few months after the expiration of the warranty, so I had to go buy a new one. Last Thursday just was NOT a good day. Last Thursday was so bad that my mom came over and did all the laundry. It was just over the top bad.
TODAY, I’m working on Glampyre stuff. Catching up on correspondence, updating things, sending yarn to knitters, writing out patterns, etc. It’s only 9:30 and I’ve already gotten more done than I did all DAY last Thursday.
Woo!
Here’s what I’m hoping to do with the rest of my day, and I’ll check back in to let you know how it goes:
1) photograph all the baby knits I’ve finished…even stuff that still needs buttons. There are lots of little things that I’ve finished that I haven’t had the gumption to actually photograph, and they’re cute. Must Share.
2) mail out yarn and patterns to my knitter-helpers.
3) block the lace scarf. This means I have to actually cast off. If this scarf was just for ME…I’d knit to the end of the ball, but since it’s for a class and the class is next week…I need to get it to the yarn store so they can display it. It’s about 6 feet long.
4) finish up …4…patterns. By the end of the day. This MUST happen.
5) work the “boob” parts of a camisole. This poor thing has been sitting around almost done…except for the cups…for weeks.
That’s not too bad! I think I can maybe do this.
6) I also need to go to the health food store and to the yarn store. Isn’t it funny when you get up early and sit around waiting for shops to open? I’ve been up since 6 today! They should be open now, so
7) I’m gonna get this yarn packed up so I can ALSO go to the PO!
8) update my “press” category. There may be a string of posts in the near future containing one photo…just ignore them if you’ve already seen this stuff. I need to get my press pages updated so that I look like I’ve been doing something these past few months that I’ve been hibernating.
OK. Here I go. Any second now, I’m going to put the laptop down, cast off my scarf, and put it in the sink to soak. Then I’m going to seal up this yarn package and put an address on it…get dressed…and start the day. Ok. One. Two. Three.

HI Stephanie! This is my first comment to you…first let me start by saying that I love your work and I love reading your blog….I also love your design (I made myself the drop stitch tank from Fitted KNits). You are so talented! Oh - and you are a BEAUTIFUL woman and you and your DH make a perfect pair!!!
Anyways, I almost had to pick myself up off the floor this morning after reading your to-do list! I have three kids, and getting that list done would take me about….maybe a week, if I put my mind to it!!! Heheh! So enjoy this beautiful freedom!! And your day off is a very busy day indeed!!!

Wow, that sounds like my pre baby to do lists. I’ll get back to it someday. Now I’m lucky to get through a list like that in a week!
