And so what do I do? I blog about it
It’s raining cats and dogs right now. There’s a leak directly over the kitchen sink (hey at least most of the water is going into the sink, I’m not going to complain about that), the shop floor is a soppy mess because I had to put down some old newspapers and catalogs to keep water from coming in any more than it already has– and insult of all insults: Greta’s pillow is soaking wet so I had to get a jump on the laundry so I can wash and dry it for her, I’m not cruel enough to try to force her to make due by sleeping on the couch (which she so selflessly offered.)
Staying up until the wee hours with a Great Dane has it’s advantages though, I finished my Brooke’s Column of Leaves Scarf, which I think is going to end up being my sister’s for Christmas if I can get my ducks in a row. You’ll have to wait until I block it for pictures, it’s really a lovely pattern though and really fun to knit. I definitely want to make a second one (for me, because unlike Greta I’m selfish.)
In moving things off the floor I found the work bag that has Josey’s blanket in it, so I’m working on that now. The funny thing is (and I’m sure this is related to the fact that it’s Lion Brand “Homespun”) I didn’t even realize I’d lost it. Okay, maybe I did but did not really care so much because the idea of knitting something for him in wool would be much more fun.
The house (other than the one leak) is totally fine, even if it does flood a bit in the yard and the shop (the water is just a puddly thing and doesn’t seem to be getting any deeper so I’m not going to stress out about it.) So really the only thing to do is to keep myself entertained and wait for the dog pillow to come out of the wash and dry.
