Still here.
I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth, it’s just been busy hereabouts. Today I am cleaning like mad in preparation for having Em’s party here tomorrow. It’s like bailing out the Titanic with a Dixie cup. Still, I persevere.
It occurs to me that I haven’t shown these. These are Ann Budd’s Flame Wave socks from Interweave Press’ “Favorite Socks” book. 56 stitch caston, Cascade Fixation. I’m using size 4 and 3 needles instead of the recommended 5 and 4, as I am a loose knitter. It’s going quickly but the bulk of my time is still taken up with Jayne hats.
Speaking of, if Brown Sheep doesn’t ship out their yellow yarn soon, I’m going to road trip to Nebraska to dye it myself. The lack of yellow yarn is officially holding up the works now. Fortunately I have four acrylic hats in a row, but I’m on number four, and then I’ll have to resort to calling all over the state and driving hither and yon for odd skeins. It’s not an efficient use of resources, but time and Jayne hats wait for no man.
Okay, cleaning calls. If I’m not back by tomorrow, call the Coast Guard.
Step 1: Pile stuff under table.
Step 2: Cover table with super-long tablecloth.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: PROFIT!

That’s what closets are for!
Hiya Heather! Uhem, You’re cleaning your house for a bunch of KIDS?! Who are going to tear it apart anyways?! Sweetie, the dust on the floor and furniture is used as TRACTION to keep the little tasmanian devils from speeding through the house too fast! And anything likes clothes, toys and random objects left on the floor acts as SPEED BUMPS.
The main thing to do is put away the sharp objects out in the yard and let them loose to scream and run. Hopefully they’ll tire themselves out by the time they leave which their parents will be on their knees in thanks to you…lol.
Tsk tsk tsk woman. (wendy shakes her head in disbelief and winks)

Re: That’s what closets are for!
Don’t worry, I’m not going for spotless. I’m just going for a “well, I guess I don’t have to call the board of health on these people” level of cleanliness.
