An Extra Day

One really should not pass up an extra day. Did I do anything fantastic?

Not really. I worked on a knit hat that has a colorwork pattern. It is slow going as you are swapping yarns every few stitches and have to follow a chart…otherwise you have chaos not a pattern of trees against a sunset.

I’m tempted to start a ten-stitch blanket using up the leftover yarns from two ‘floral’ afghans I’ve crocheted from Lucy at Attic24. But that can wait.

I discovered a pair of socks that the second one is past the heel, so all I have to do is finish the foot, but looking at the first one the ‘cuff’ pattern does not match what I have on the needles. The question becomes…do I care enough to rip the first one all the way back to the beginning, or just make them matching in color and fraternal in pattern. I’m voting for fraternal.

And then I ordered more yarn today. The colors were so pretty, named “frosting” and based on “The Great British Baking Show”, so how could I not. “Twelve perfect scones” anyone? I have no idea what I will make with them or the other yarn piled on my desk (Bare Naked Wools by Knitspot, or Onyx Fiber Arts, or the Miss Babs). Do we see a trend?

So I really should go back and either work on that hat (slow and easy or make a mistake) or the second sock (even if it isn’t an exact match for the first one). Meanwhile I’m thinking about that 10 stitch afghan and all the little bits of yarn I could use up knitting it. Right.

One extra day a year is not going to make a dent in my yarn stash, especially if I don’t pick up those needles.

And because we shall soon be in March.

I don’t care about the gold, but what happened to the treats?
