No knitting? !!!

I did not get any knitting done yesterday.  Not one stitch.  I finished that cleaning I was avoiding and then, found some more of that to do.   There is always more of that to do.  Why is this taking up so much time?  For one, I am slow.  For a second thing, I we are having our floors replaced.  Again.  

We did it two years ago but the click flooring was a bad choice.  Every joint in heavy wear areas failed and it looks awful and feels awful.  The material actually has lifted and ripped out.  Away from the joins/cracks, the plank flooring has been great.  In low wear areas, it looks impeccable.  But overall, it has been a big no.  So we are getting new floors again.  

This means everything off bookshelves and out of all the main rooms.  All the furniture needs to be compressed into my room and the sewing room.  Last time we shifted things as sections were completed.  This time it all needs to be out because Keith is getting someone to do it.  It will be over quickly and will be done in a couple days instead of the week it took Keith last time.  So cleaning, packing, moving stuff.  Sigh.

I did one other big job yesterday.  I depilling one of my favourite sweaters.

This has been worn and used and loved.  It's BFL 2/8 and is so wonderfully soft.  However that softness leads to a lot of pilling.  Not excessive but it does pill.  I haven't depilled in far to long and after the job was done, the full ball was the size of a baseball.  The lovely thing is it looks almost new.  Till I looked at this.

Inside needs depilling today.  I realized how bad it was after I put it on after I did the outside and found I was still absent mindedly pulling off pills.  It's pretty bad, even on the back which comes under less friction during wear.  Still, it's a job the needs doing.  

There will be knitting today.  No big chores today.  I am resting up for tomorrow when we have some help coming to shift and move and do the heavy lifting.
