Too Tired to Knit

I’ve had one of those weekends that has left me in need of a massage and a really long nap. LOL I’ve been on my feet pretty much all day since Friday and I’m mentally and physically exhausted, but man it was a good weekend. I hosted a group of graduating seniors at my home for a taco party on Saturday afternoon and then went to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival on Sunday with friends. I have photos I need to upload, a video I want to take and things to share but right now I’m just too tired. I didn’t even knit this weekend! But I figured I could at least give you a little sneak peek…
New swift
I did buy the yarn swift I talked about last week. It’s beautiful but I’ve been too exhausted to take it up stairs, set it up and take a video of it in action. I also picked up some yarn and I made a point to get brands I haven’t worked with before but I also had to pick up my favorite Miss Babs. There was a color I loved online and had to see in person and it was even better than I thought it would be (and it was so good when my BFF Jess saw it she bought it too – she doesn’t knit).

So this will be my view tonight and probably tomorrow when I get home, Jellybean looking at me over a mound of blankets on the couch. I need some rest!

Wow!!! Sounds like it was also a fruitful weekend! We all need a break every now and then 😉 It recharges us and makes us eager to start our next task 😉

I think I only managed to knit half of a row of two socks this weekend, so also not much at all. MDSW wiped me out on Saturday! I need to work on current projects, but am itching to cast on with new yarn and needles…

When you are able to post about mdsw, can you share why this swift ofter the umbrealla style? I’m obsessed with yours 😀

  Sure! Cher has been sick since yesterday so I’m watching her and haven’t taken the swift upstairs but I’m happy to talk about it. I’ve never been a fan of umbrella swifts and this one is just a beauty.

    I’ve been winding skeins off the backs of chairs and people’s hands and my own knees forever, and almost bought an umbrella style a while back… and then decided it didn’t look all that… swift! lol. So I’m looking forward to your review, too (when you get time). Love to Cher and hope you’re both recuperated soon.

    She is on the mend! I was worried I would need to take her to the vet but she miraculously recovered and was her happy tail wagging self again.
