We’ve been on “staycation” the past week, and decided to make a much-needed change in our furniture layout since we were home anyway. The computer is now part of our main living space, which is a good thing, and my knitting stuff has taken over the guest room–also a good thing. I had some help:

And after not too long, I had this shiny new workspace!

I’m madly in love with it. It has a place for all of my swatches to live (man, were they ever outgrowing their binder)…

…it has an incredibly inspiring sock yarn bin…

…and best of all, it has a glorious desk. GLORIOUS, I tell you.

Having a great workspace led to a really productive week. I’m chugging along on the tank and already thinking about what I’ll do for early fall. The problem is, I have a lot of ideas.

Anyone want to pick a favorite yarn in there? What should I do next?

Even without the glaze, it is the most moist, scrumptious, spiced, wonderful thing I have eaten in months. Plus, I got to use my weirdo Yankee apple contraption–and how cool is that, really?

(Jacob thought it was pretty cool.)

Well. Just had to get that off my chest. Pigging out on coffee cake is much more fun with company, you know.

I was reading a certain blog yesterday, and noted a certain resolution to knit a pair of socks per month this year. Now, I’d be far from sock-yarn-stashless even if I knit twice that amount, but it seemed like a good idea to try and knock off a pair of socks each month this year anyway. Just think! A year from now, I’ll have 12 more pairs to combat this chilly, chilly house.

Of course, that leaves me with only 6 more days to finish the Pomatomi.

Surely I can manage that, though, right? Especially if I stop eating coffeecake long enough to knit a little each day?
