Where's the knitting!?!

I know, on a blog named Purlanna you would expect to see a little knitting, right? Well all I have to say is sorry, but honestly there hasn't been anytime for knitting, and when I do get a minute to pick up my needles I'm usually finding myself nodding off after 5 or 10 minutes. The garden is keeping me busy along with my day-time job. I've been trying to crack down on my house cleaning too. Summer is creeping up and the house can get pretty messy pretty quick.


When I do fine the time to knit, I've been working on a simple baby blanket. The yarn is an acrylic I found on sale at the local HL, not my favorite place to buy yarn, but I was there anyway and couldn't help but check out the sales. Seriously, what is it about yarn on sale? I can even find an excuse to buy the ugliest, cheapest yarn if the price is right. I think to myself, "I know there's a project out there for this." Yeah, an ugly project! Although this baby blanket isn't that ugly at all, it's rather cute, boring, but cute.

I was recently able to get rid of a bunch of "sale" yarn in a garage sale my mom and aunt were having. However, I don't think any of it sold, there's a surprise...


OK, so I promise to have more knitting on here, at least every other post, OK? You just have got to understand that it's garden season so there is going to be lots of garden post (lots!). So, I hope there are knitters out there, knitters that also garden, or at least like fresh food, and that you will understand that this will pass and knitting will return (along with the cold, quiet, winter nights) and all will be back to normal, or as normal as a knitting addict's life can be...


And, in case you were wondering what I did tonight instead of knitting, here's a glimpse.



...and here's a friend that stopped by for a visit last night.
