Catching up, Slowing Down

Posted on March 17, 2006 by Annie

Today I sat on my behind for most of the day – math, math, math, math, math. It’s necessary, but too much of it is NOT fun!

In addition to my knitting life, I am creating the database for my kids’ school auction (taking place this weekend – come on by and bid on an amazing vacation or cool needlepoint kit!) That means that just about from the moment I arrived home on Wed I was up to my eyeballs getting the auction catalog, bid sheets, certificates, etc., finished and printed out for the woman who runs the auction (a saint, I tells ya!) Finally after sending off the necessary pages today so she can get it printed up I was able to ease myself back into my knittin’ life this afternoon.

Oy. Do I have a lot of stuff to do!

– The Calendar. Thank heaven I have help. Thank you, Drew! I sincerely apologize to those of you who have been writing me for updates on it – the update is, I’m scrambling to finish.

– Twist & Loop; I’ll be getting the final galleys this weekend and I’m told they need some more filler in places. I got good at filling things up on the road (here in NJ ALL gas stations are Full Serve! Eeek, how do you folks handle this in the cold, cold weather?)

– Dogs Who Knit; There’s math to go over, one project to finish, illustrations to make clearer and just general stuff. I met with my editor while in Asheville (another knitting editor who doesn’t knit – go figure – maybe it’s time for me to get that job as a marine biologist?) and I still have some written stuff to turn in on that.

– Projects for IK: I have a few to work up, a skirt and hat and a camisole type thing I’m dreaming up.

– Submissions: I’ve put so many off for so long, but I really owe some editors some sketches and swatches.

So today I got a pattern written, checked in with a few editors, did some math checking – a full and rich day. If I can get this much done each day when I’m home then it makes the going away easier to bear.

While I was away I took some cool photos that I meant to post –

Here’s a dam in Helena, AL that I strolled around. This was the day when I realized how much better my breathing was – a nice, long walk on an 80º Sunday morning before class.

Even a major chain like Panera isn’t imune to the charms of the Southern Vernacular.

Oh, and did I mention that after the auction on Saturday night I’ll be teaching in Philly on Sunday? I’m PUMPED to get back to Loop, one of my favorite shops!

Burn, baby, burn!

Be a NUN - or just look like one! In all honesty, the pattern is NOT well reviewed (there's only one 2-star review...) but it's always been one of my favorites.
