Found Knitting Time

Wahoo!  I forgot that today I had safety training in Birmingham!  Know what training means?  UNEXPECTED KNITTING TIME!!!  That’s not to say I did not listen or participate.  In fact, I listened carefully and am taking the messages to heart.  Execution I may not be so hot on until I practice my to-do list.

The picture above was what the socks looked like this morning when I made it to work.  There was not any knitting on these socks from lunch the day before and morning.  Progress is slow if you only work on it during lunch.  However, from noon to four there was the safety meeting.  It is like found hours in which to knit!  I sat and knit through the meeting under the table surrounded by co-workers.  Below is the picture of the socks as I made it home after picking the Things up from daycare.

 

The greater chunk of my knitting time has been taken over by DH’s sweater.  My goal is to hopefully finish the yoke portion and separate for the sleeves by bedtime.  Of course, I will need a lot of child wrangling from DH in order to accomplish this feat!  So far, he is doing well tonight; after all, I am typing this post right after dinner.  Last night as I was knitting I discovered I had a small problem.  My small problem wasn’t so small because I kept nodding off over the knitting.  Somehow, no stitches were dropped or lost.  This is amazing because it has been a rather stressful week at home.

The stress this week was mostly home related.  Did you know that you should take time to think sometimes?  For example, if you go grocery shopping Saturday afternoon and by Sunday night, the meat you tossed in the freezer doesn’t freeze, you may have a problem.  If on Monday evening, things are still not frozen and the ice appears to be shinny, the freezer may not be working.  If Tuesday’s frozen pizza was not frozen, there is a LARGE Problem.  The good news is that we rent so all it took was a phone call.  The downside was I called too late to save any foodstuff and oh by the way, the new refrigerator arrived Friday.  Goodbye lots of food that was not ready to be tossed and brand new food.  Hello large expense in replacing the stockpile of food.  Such is life; at least this fridge is much larger than the last!
