Woe is me....

...My knitpicks order has not arrived yet so I am officially behind on the SOTSii. I really wanted to start on it this weekend but alas it was not meant to be. I did go to the library this weekend in search of knitting books to look through. Well the library in town isn't open on Saturday so I had to drive to my hometown which is 25 min. away to browse the books. There wasn't much to look at but I was able to get a copy of Elizabeth Zimmerman's Knitter's Almanac reserved from another library. I have only been able to find it online and I just don't have the spare cash to buy it right now so I thought I would get it on loan from the library to see if I really wanted to buy it eventually. I think I will do that with other knitting books as I find ones I think I would like to buy.
We (hubby and I) were able to be quite productive this weekend. We finally got our living room straighted up from where we got our new TV (something went out in it and the picture jumped we put up with it until it got to be unbearable) and we just hadn't gotten around to putting what was left over from Christmas up yet. We still have a lot of things we want to be able to do around the house as far as getting our spare room organized and useful -- right now there are a lot of totes and things we got for our wedding still in there. We need to finish organizing and moving things into our storage shed so that we can actually use that room and I can organize my knitting stash better.
I think we will be doing more things around the house now that deer hunting season is over until October. I think we will be buying a couple of rakes this weekend and rake up all the leaves that have fell this winter. The upside to all the leaves on the ground is that we have not had to mow grass since I moved in in September.

I was able to go visit my Nana this weekend and give her the fingerless gloves I had made. She was so funny -- she told me I didn't have to buy anything for her for her birthday. I told her I didn't --then she saw them....She said you MADE me a gift that is so much more special than anything store bought. I was so glad that she liked them. She said that now her hands will stay warm while she crochets/crafts.

I have almost another pair of mittens made for our missionary to take with him back to Russia. I now have an adult size made and a children's size almost complete. I hope to have at least 8 pairs made before he comes for a visit in April.

The Purlin' Peaches have yet to say anything about our Feb meeting but I am still excited about it. I am so glad that I am a part of a group that have the same interest as I do. It is so fun to get together with all those gals and just talk about our projects and different patterns and yarn and whatever else we need to talk about.

Three thankful:
1. I am thankful for libraries.
2. I am thankful for gifts well received.
3. I am thankful for the rain we received over the weekend. I just hope it helps with our drought.
