tow february

I can describe the month in one word, “tired.” Most people who know me knows that I don’t go to bed before midnight unless I am sick. Lately I’ve been so tired I started going to bed around 9:30. We are short staffed at work, we are down one full time worker and another full time worker dropped to half time. That left me to do my own job plus the job of one and half workers in the library.
I barely turn on my computer these days or pick up a crochet hook or knitting needles. All I want to do is rest. I am feeling pretty good today so I decided to put together an entry recapping February.

The house hasn’t progressed much yet.

We now know we have off street parking which is great! We have a few glitches with plans and we are waiting on the never ending titling process.

We picked out our roof tiles and our house bricks.

We are also going to get some dark blue rendering on part of the house and have cedar look garage door and house door.

And the view from top of the area we are building in.

These are earlier stages so they have been completed a while ago.

I haven’t been spinning as much as I like. I have dyed and spun this yarn a while ago but I didn’t get a chance to knit it up to anything.

I spun it so it changes colour from blues to greens.

I made it into a hat.

And the top view

I knitted a baby set for one of ACA’s uni friend’s who recently became a dad. I mailed it to Turkey but I haven’t heard if they received it yet or not.

I forgot to take a photo of it in the day light, so I quickly snapped one with the flash before I wrapped them up.

I knitted the booties two at a time. Love magic loop!

This is technically from January but I forgot to blog about it! I finally finished the “shimmer shawl” that I started eons ago.

I knitted it with beautiful handspun yarn my friend spun just for me! Look how pretty the yarn is.

It really shimmers in the light from the silk in it.

Currently I am working on a pair of mitten’s for V. It is my ravelympics project. I have so little time to knit these mittens are growing in slow motion.

It is from yarn I have dyed some months back called Henna Night. V’s mum, Jess picked it out.
Speaking of Jess and V, they sent me a lovely box of goodies for Valentines day. Here’s me wearing the butterfly pin they sent me,

Loooove it!

Hermoine the builder!
