A Yarn Standoff

It has been some time since my last post. You might wonder why that is.
Personally, I blame the warm weather.

Usually I am a sit at home kind of person. I used to have plans every two weeks, but nothing more frequent.

Now that summer is here, I seem to be very busy. Busy enough that even when my knitting urge over rides my "too warm" wariness, I still don't get a chance to sit down with the needles and work.

I have dinners with friends, Beer Judge program classes, meetings with friends, birthday parties I end up missing, festival events, holidays and sometimes I just want some sleep. I have been squeezing housekeeping in bit by bit as I don't seem to be home often enough to get any cleaning done.

Just the other day, when I did not have to work, I got up at 8:30am just so I could get the laundry started. I figured it would be a great time to work on a new bottle cozy (requested by a friend). After much time doing math and plotting out my stitches, I gather everything and went to the laundromat. Where I promptly found that I did not grab the right needles.

Phooey.

Add to that the fact that my roommate decided that my yarn was "messy" and took the initiative to stick it all in large black tubs. Which means that I can't see my yarn. I can sit at my computer and not see a bit of it.

I can't see it and it is quite warm out and a rare but very active time in my life....

Well, I suppose I am just trying to apologize for this slow down on the blog.
Eventually the pendulum will swing and I will end up alone at home and with no where to go. It will be just me and the yarn (and the A/C on full blast).

So go out and enjoy the nice parts of summer. I know I am.
