Sunday, Day of Rest

That is just what I did today too.  Yesterday, I cleaned like mad.  Cleaned just about everything (except my junk room!).  It sure felt good to get it done.  I sat down to knit in the clean house when I was finished.  That was such a good feeling.  House clean and quiet.  Knitting going well.... then CRASH!  No, not really "crash" exactly.  I just dropped a stitch.  I am working on a scarf for a friend.  I have tried this scarf before, without success.  I don't know why this pattern is so hard for me.  I have trouble focusing on it and keeping track of where I am.  Suddenly I have dropped a stitch and usually have to pull out 4 pattern repeats to get my stitch back.  It really stinks!  It is a slow pattern for me.  My friend will love it, I hope.  Maybe it will be ready for her by her NEXT birthday.  I dont think Samanatha reads my blog anymore, so there is not much danger of her seeing this.  If she does, well that is ok, too.  Her birthday was a week ago.  It may be 3 more months before I finish it.  Sigh!    
So that was yesterday.  Today we went to church.  It was our turn for the nursery and there was a sweet little month-old baby girl there named Juliette.  She was ready for a nap when I got there.  She went right to sleep in the rocking chair.  It was so sweet to hold such a tiny baby again.  Babis smell so sweet! 

After church we had lunch and I sat down and pulled out about 8 rows of the knitting project and got back to a good starting point.  Then I took a loooooong nap.  That was awesome!  I woke up too late for evening services.  Jacob went to see a friend and Kim and I watched a movie he rented.  It was a nice, quiet, restful Sunday.  I hope you had one too!

Every time I have ever tried to knit I mess it up. I don't have patience to keep trying. Glad you had a nice day!

I'm so glad you are knitting again! Don't get frustrated. If you can knit a purse and diaper bag, I KNOW you can conquer this pattern!

I took a long nap, too, so here it is 11:12 and I'm still awake! Why do I do this to myself every Sunday?
