Monday's

I swear if I could have stayed in bed this morning I would have. This weekend has worn me out with all the soccer that was played. Now mind you my fat tail didn't play any soccer but I did take a butt load of pictures from the side line and I expended a bunch on energy on hollering at the girls to get with it. Outside of that, getting up before the dogs do is just to much for me. I was so tired by the time I got into the bed last night that I fell right out. Plus I'm getting all stuffy thanks to my coughing daughter. Oh well I guess that's the way the ball bounces.
My eldest was so good to me while we were gone all weekend, he did all do you hear me ALL the laundry, vacuumed, did dishes and took care of the dogs. I was so thankful that I didn't have to do all that. I didn't get the bathrooms cleaned but I'm going to get that done this evening.

On a good note, I was able to finish the socks I was making. I wasn't able to take a picture to post because as soon as I finished them my daughter took them and put them on her cold feet. She is going to love them. Maybe she will let me photograph her feet wearing them.
I'm going to start a sweater. Wish me luck because boy I'm going to need it. I found a pattern that didn't look to hard to do and I think I have enough yarn to actually make this one. The one I want to make is going to cost me an arm and a leg to make, right now I just don't have the money to buy the yarn to make it. I haven't gotten to buy yarn in a couple of months. And I'm beginning to have withdrawals. Our local Michael's is having a yarn sale and everything is marked down a bit but still I can't get what I want. They have it but I just can't. I keep entering the months drawing at Knit Picks hoping to win one day. I'm not that lucky and I'm sure that 15 million others are entering too. Maybe for Christmas some nice relative will look upon me with pity and give me a gift certificate to buy the yarn I want. LOL.

I am with you on yarn costs-I tend to make everything in Elena's size because, well, she's small and it doesn't take up as much yarn.

I keep entering Knit Picks drawing too-never win, but can hope!

Lets just keep hoping, can't hurt anything.

Knit Picks has contests? *gasps*
I am unlucky as well when it comes to contests.
I know what you mean about yarn prices, it sucks. There are so many things I WANT to make but cannot justify spending the money for the yarn to make it.

Hope you feel better soon!
