I’m thinking of frogging my NEB. I’m just so overwhelmed by it sometimes. I am about halfway through the second skein and still have three left.
I don’t know that I have it in me to keep slogging away at it. I have found so many other projects at Ravelry that I want to try.
On Thursday, I finally brought home the stash that was living in my filing cabinet at work. Husband was incredulous at the amount of yarn I brought home. I had to remind him that I told him about it a couple of months ago. This a shot of one of the types of yarn I brought home. 
Believe me…there was much more.
Yesterday, I decided that my filing cabinet looked lonely and needed some fuzzy friends. I’ve started talking to a dyer that lives in Athens, GA and bought some of her hand dyed yarn. While I was at it, I bought some yarn from a woman in Oregon. I don’t want to Bogart their pictures so I’ll post some of my own when I receive the yarn and finally bring it home.
I was at work yesterday (trying to stay focused on work stuff) and I checked my personal email. What did I have? I had an invite to try the beta version of Ravelry!!! It was all I could do not to run down the hallway and tell my coworkers that I’m friends with what a wonderful gift I had been given. I’ve not gotten to play with the site as much as I would have liked, but I can’t wait for the next long weekend so I can inventory my stash, needles, & books and share the love with my like-minded yarn-lovin’ folk!!!
On the never ending blanket front (NEB), I worked a couple more rows tonight while watching the last episode of Six Feet Under. The series has been one of the best I’ve ever seen. Incredibly well cast, written, directed, and shot. I absolutely loved it. The knitting is creeping along and I find peace and comfort in the repetition.
I’m more excited about working on the log cabin blanket than I am the never ending blanket (NEB). How sad is that? The yarn is thinner, the needles smaller, but I’m still drawn to it like a fly to honey.
