Wedding planning is killing the knitting

At just over one month until wedding day, every time I think I am going to knit there is another thing I need to do or list I need to me. Wedding planning is killing the knitting. Although I think its just as much Thank You card writing's fault. Its not that I don't want to plan the wedding. Or thank people. Its just that I want a few minutes each day to knit! And again I ask myself why I decided to undertake the After Dark Nightie.

I think I might be at the point where I need to start the waist shaping, if only I knew where my tape measure was to confirm that.

I think, for my own sanity, that I am going to try and set aside 5 minutes everyday for knitting. Its not much, but it will keep me from feeling deprived. Kind of like dieters having small portion controlled desserts so they don't go nutso. We shall see how that goes. My "do this everyday" list keeps getting longer. Write X number of thank you cards each day. Exercise X amount of time each day (I can check that one off for today. go me and getting up at 5:20) Etc. But I guess if I stick with it everything will eventually get done. I wonder how long it would take to have a complete nightie if I could only knit 5 minutes each day. Hmmmm. Its a good thing this won't last. I have some serious plane rides in my future and that bodes well for getting back on the knitting bandwagon. Well, time to go shower and then check off the Work for X number of hours today part of the list.

The nightie IS the one from Mason Dixon and IS NOT going to get finished.

I have now downloaded the ruler app on my iphone, for times I am without a tape measure.

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. ...

More Partying

Joining in with Tickle Me Tuesday!  I hope I'm not overloading you, but it's fun to party  ;-) I love this apron , but being a non-pinky, I wish it was blue. These amazing  soaps .   Yes, I said soaps!!! I can't stop looking at them.  One of these days I have to give in and order some. I want this  dress  sooooo bad. feminine, country, old fashioned... love. These  potholders  belong in my coffee themed kitchen.  I gaze at them often. So, those are just a few things tickling my fancy.  Sundresses are also tickling my fancy, if it would only get warm! Go visit the party and see what is tickling everyone else's fancy today!
