I’m still trying to get back “in the swing of things”. The kids are trying to catch up on missed school work, I’m way behind on house work plus my “real” job work too. Why is it then that I have found time for knitting and spinning? I guess we all have priorities! At 7 or 8 o’clock at night, I would much rather sit and knit than scrub the bathroom floor. I’m hoping to take a chunk out of every day to get caught up. Meanwhile, today’s episode reveals the finished Guernsey Wrap! my first Christmas gift is done, plus a few other projects. Enjoy!
