So, I will work on getting the blog up today.
What's been happening. I have been selected for county jury duty. Husband and Mom both commented that it starts "Greetings", that I should count my lucky stars it's not for the draft. However, as 'old', and broken down as I am, I think it wouldn't be much of a problem... Sigh.
I am working diligently on getting boxes, and yarn, and needles, and paper, and and and and put away in my craft room. I am pleased with how it's progressing, but have had to change a few things, as I receive items from Grandma's estate. (I am now the 'proud' owner of probably 70 or more crochet hooks... Sorting, much figuring on what I want to keep, and who I can help with craft enabling is ensuing...) I have donated nearly a small pickup load of items to charity, and working on my second. I will be going through clothing, and then...
The dreaded closet of doom. Also known as the craft closet. It's probably as bad, or more likely worse, than the craft room itself. I want the craft room WELL cleaned before I start on that bad boy...
I also found out a design element I did to make my yarn easier to access...
Didn't.
It's a nasty crawlspace effect that I'd not realized when planning it. I am hoping to transfer some items I don't use often under there, and move the yarn out into the light of day, so to speak. Or at least within reach.
Oh, and I managed to snag a CD of the music from Hamilton. I promised Husband I would not play it with him around... He detests rap. I find a lot of it rather fun, though, and this is no exception. So, I listen, when he's not in the house, he doesn't have to hear it...
And we're both happy!

Oh, and I am knitting a project, just for me. I have, since high school, wanted a Doctor Who scarf (4th Doctor), to wit: I have had the pattern well before I ever learned to knit. I finally looked at my stash. Hmm. Have that color, yep, that too. That's pretty close...
The only color I didn't have was a sort of yellow mustard color. I started looking, and found one. I am now about a foot or so up the left side, as seen in this picture. Just starting the red part, as a matter of a fact. I made it narrower, the original is 60 stitches wide, I am knitting about 30. I want a scarf, not a blanket. Otherwise, I am trying to follow it as written. I know that mine will look a bit different, but not outrageously so, and I really just want it for me, so who cares? I hope to wear it at faire sometime, there are enough Who Geeks there, I should get a response.
More info as things congeal...
