Time to be getting on

I did a try on of my Sock Monkey and or Work Sock sweater yesterday.  I knew it would fit one way or the other but I worried that it may have too much ease.  I wanted comfortable, not sloppy.  

It's perfectly comfortable.  

I think I am falling in love with this yarn all over again too.  Knitting back and forth with it on the yoke was great but in the round on blunt tipped wood needles?  Sublime.  It has such a great texture too.  It's crepe structure gives it a completely different look but it is subtle in the most beautiful way. 

It makes me wish Australia was closer to Canada so I could order it more often.  Ah well.

I intend to be responsible today and work on my chair pad.  I really want to get that out of my way.  I want to get them all out of the way.  I keep telling myself one step at a time.  If I have to force myself to do it, I have to force myself.  

The other thing I need to get to work on is shoes. My search for a comfortable pair has produced nothing in my budget so since it is now time to wear socks again, it is time.  I have assembled all the parts and just need to start.   The goal is to get going by Friday.

I have also avoided tidying my sewing room and it is well past time to get in some sewing.  This is a task I need to get into in a big way.  I talk about sewing but the two pairs of leggings/pants that are waiting have been sitting there, unfinished for a year now.  Past time.  

Much to do and though I have not regained everything summer took out of me, I have regained enough to be getting on with things.   

Forever.
