Settled again

There was absolutely zero knitting yesterday.  It was the day to restore order to my house.



This is a library on its way to reconstruction.  I had two helpers and it took all day.  We took short breaks and one of my assistants went walking to our downtown to pick up lunch.  We worked steady and not too fast but fast enough to get the job done before their mom came by to pick them up.  They did a great job and I am so thankful they helped.  By the end of the day, we had this.



We shifted the TV a bit.  It's been in the same spot for 10 years and now that all we need is a plug in, it was time for a shift.  I'm not going to put all my foo faraw out again.  Some yes, but a little less is fine with me.  It just needs to feel homey to me.  

The other thing about getting things back to order is that I can now get to my yarn again.  The bookcases were standing in front of the wool closet and you cannot imagine how it feels to be able to get back in there.  It is not that I needed anything there.  It's just that loss of a small freedom of access that was surprisingly hard to bear.  

The other thing mostly cleared out is my sewing room.  I am going to finish my two pairs of pants that just need elastic and hemming, today or tomorrow.  I will be so happy to have them.  They are light weight airy fabrics and should be perfect for summer wear.  

I did get to the underarm shaping on the yellow Lunan sweater and hope to get that done as well as the sewing.  So it will be a busy day ahead.
