This week has been hectic to say the least!
There has been cleaning out of the attic, freecycling and ebaying (can you tell I’m preparing for something ;o) – NO I’m not pregnant).
When things are more set in stone I can announce it to the world (insert evil laugh here). My living room is looking a little more homely and a little less murubbi’s removals now – I seem to be getting some kind of order in here and in case you are wondering it does have an effect on the knitting.
When I feel like I am in Chaos, whether it be in work, home or family life, I simply can’t settle myself down to knit. I am either really tired and feel unable to do anything or have to be cleaning or tidying somewhere to keep myself busy. When things are calmer I am too. I find I can relax better, have a lot more energy and concentration. With each little bit of the clutter going I can feel the weight being lifted off my shoulders.
I am making progress with my blanket, but I have to admit I am a little behind, but I am hoping to catch up this week so I will be on the same page as everyone else.
I have counted the poll for this weeks block, but there are only 40 votes, despite there being over 100 taking part – so don’t forget to vote for the block you would most like. It is your blanket as much as mine, so you deserve some input into it too!
This KAL has really surprised me! I started off with 9 of my Plurk buds , then over night it exploded. I have even had some people request that I sell them the pattern! I have had more requests for people to join though, so I am thinking of starting round 2 within the next couple of weeks. Hopefully I will be able to give people a little more time than 24hrs to sign up!
Anyway, on with the Poll – I thought we should try some lace knitting this week.
Happy Knitting!

I’m also just a tad behind on this KAL, though I logged some very productive time tonight watching multiple episodes of TNG.
I have never done lace before so I’m having trouble visualizing the various options. I’m tempted to vote for the heart as it seems simplistic – but I don’t generally go for heart designs. Anyway, I thought I would expound my thought process before somewhat randomly picking.
Thanks, you sound busy and I’m glad your hosting us
