shoes, nail polish, a spartan desk, and some spinning

This week has mostly been spent unpacking and starting to puzzle piece the apartment back together.

Some highlights: Shoes have taken over my closet, at least they left space for my polka doted hatbox. My, now, oh-so-spartan desk. And a crazy amount of nail polish that I don’t remember amassing.

I’ve done no knitting. But I did pull out some fiber and do a little spinning last night. That way there would be something fiber related in this post.

This is a beautiful camel colored 100% alpaca top, that I’m spinning into a 2ply lace weight. It was a gift and unfortunately I don’t know the company. But I’m loving working with it.

Here’s to more knitting next week.

Happy Wednesday!

a week of laundry and chaos

Not a whole lot of knitting this week. Mostly it’s been more laundry and more packing. My living room is a nightmare, but the exterminator came yesterday and treated the apartment, so I can at least start unpacking things soon.

It’s amazing how much stuff you can fit into an apartment.

But I did get a little bit done.

And bonus points for matching the dress I’m wearing.

Because the apartment is a mess, and my desk is in the living room (the very center of the chaos) I’ve been working in cafes and parks whenever I get the chance.

monday morning writing

A little bit of Monday morning writing.
(I’m hoping to restart the Self-Made Wardrobe project again – soon!)

knitting pattern editing

And some late night pattern writing.

Here’s to hoping for more knitting time very soon.
