The Agenda

The agenda for today is…yikes! The view from the desk is not cool at all. Not like the last one that looked more cluttered than it was; this one is really cluttered.

What happened was I emptied the rolling cart that was holding various items and I placed said items on the table. I sorted something’s out and now I don’t know what I want to go back on the cart. So it all remains on the table.  But I do want to point out the beautiful square that is the first square of my afghan.  I don’t know if I told about Lion Brand Skein Tones going on sale at Michael’s for $2/ball. About a year ago, I saw it on sale and went nuts ordering it. I spent a little more than $200 which means I have a little more than 100 balls of it and I am going to make an afghan with it. The original intent was to make an afghan but not a granny square.

This was the original intent. See all the skeins back there? I did make an afghan and sold it. That started me on the path to ordering all of it. In truth, JoAnn is having almost as good a sale on theirs. It’s about $2.30 a ball. Yeah, I caved. What? I want to make a lot of blankets!

With the afghan, I have 2.5 projects going. The Cottage Core shirt is being promoted and marketed. The cable scarf is an order on the needles but it’s something I should make more of so it is now on the rotation and I think I want to see what it looks like in a self striping yarn. 

Something is coming up in a few weeks that I am getting excited about and it will involve lots and lots…and lots of photos. The 30 day countdown began yesterday.
