Should've Been Knitting
I have learned a few lessons this week.
1. Emily + garage sale = disaster.
2. If you are having a severe drought in your part of the country, and the weatherman says "No rain for the next week," call me up to hold a garage sale in your driveway, and I guarantee: Rain.
3. I really REALLY like knitting.
So, last night, garage sale madness over, and hoping a little relaxation would ease the severe muscle cramp in my neck, (which possibly was worsened by the maniacal behavior of a dozen five year olds hopped up on cake and lemonade at a Chucky Cheese birthday party, I can't really blame it all on the garage sale) I cast on a little sock for my 3yo.
Look at this. Its half a sock. Granted, its for a 3yo, but still. Half a freakin sock. I forgot how much I usually knit, during those times that I'm not caught up in garage sale madness. And I do, really, LIKE to knit. If I had knit all week last week, instead of working my fingers to the bone getting ready for a cold rainy day to sit in my garage and wait for the people to not show up, I could have made, at least, 3 small socks.
So, to sum up. I am really really looking forward to my regular boring life this week. Driving the kids around, laundry, knitting. Seriously, fantastic.

I had that VERY yarn in my hand today and put it back. Bummer. It looks great knitted up!
Bummer about the garage sale. Good job with the sock, tho. I agree; haul it off to goodwill [or, better yet, get them to pick it up] and spend the rest of your time knitting!
If you must have a garage sale, the only way is to go in with the neighbors, and serve cocktails.
Hey Tres,
Forget the garage sale,
What about those fabulous hats?
