Not the best of photos - I think the flash got a bit confused. This is my sock wool. I am determined to learn how to magic loop socks. I forgot to get a circular needle in the correct size so currently I'm aiming to finish one or two projects so I can start these as a holiday knit in a few weeks time when I have the correct needle to use.
Yeeeaayyyyyy! Easter holiday is over and today all four of them went back to school. In the south of England we've just had our two week holiday - absolutely nowhere near to Easter and at a completely different time to my nieces in Worcestershire who returned to school as my lot started their break. Chaos. Why can't they standardise these school holidays. They complain about parents taking children out of school but if you are going on holiday with friends or relatives from different counties with a different holiday, what choice do you have?
Much as I have enjoyed being with the offspring for two weeks, one of which was spent up in Worcestershire not seeing much of my nieces because they had gone back to school, I am nevertheless relieved that they are back into the routine of school because I have so much to be getting on with. When this relentless rain gives up I need to get the potatoes in at the allotment. I have to start sowing seeds so I will have other things to go in at the allotment and I have two jumpers that I want to finish before I go on holiday in five weeks time. They are projects that have been around long enough and I would like them done as I have two other projects I would like to start. I'm also building up quite a queue of projects on my ravelry notebook. I have about three jumpers lined up for youngest son and two for my daughter. I have also got a lot of reading to do for my OU course and I'm about to start (when the weather improves) decorating several rooms in the house as I have lived with it looking like a building site for too many years and it just has to get done! Quite where I am going to get the time to do all this is anybody's guess but over the next few months I will be starting to spend less and less time in the house and it just can't take as long as it normally takes just to try and keep the place in order. I'm getting buried under housework and it just has to stop. When I'm working I won't have this time available any more so things have to streamline a bit.
