Yarn Along Sept 9

Here it is!  Another Yarn along post!  Amazing, I know...

"~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading and I love sharing my projects and current reads here. I would love for you to join me every Wednesday to share a single photo of what you are knitting (or crocheting) and reading too! Share your photo on your blog, on Instagram (#yarnalong), or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us! ~" Ginny at Small Things

I spent a little time this long weekend working on math and knitting.  Green vest knitting.  I figured out close enough where my extra stitches were and I got a row across and then a back again.  Now I've got the life line back in and I'm ready to go again.  WOW!  That lifeline really was.  Makes you think about people with no hope - what do you do when you've got no life line??  I have family, friends, church family and GOD.  That's enough lifeline to get me through the days and nights.  Not always easy, knitting this life together, but it's OK, and for the most part, I think I'm right where I'm supposed to be...no matter how frustrated, confused, or just plain crazy it is...
But, because it's taken me too long to get straightened back out, knitting, I mean,  the green vest did not come to work with me today.  Instead I grabbed the cotton dishcloth I was working on.  I've taken to doing YO's and K2T rows on my dishcloths, after my mom said she didn't really like cotton knitted dishcloths, because they got stinky before they got dry.  So I put more air in mine and I'm seeing how that works out.  And if it's a total bust, it will still wash some dishes.  I don't have to wear it and advertise my booboo's.   I also have a project bag with the brown alpaca shawl floating around.  Mindless knitting project.  It's needed right now.  I put some more stuff to right in my creative spot downstairs, and came across the Christmas stocking started a few years ago...which reminded me I really want to knit some more warm socks... I should have kept that up, because now I'll have to REMEMBER.... but the project room is coming together and I'm thinking if I get the scrapbook corner in any kind of order, I'll be ahead of the game.  Which just reminded me that I forgot to bring my sewing machine along to drop it off for an oil change and tune up.  Drats!!  Maybe I'll just have to bring it back tomorrow.
And for Reading, I'm still doing the Fannie Flagg book.  But I've been writing down other Yarn Along books and there's a couple I've looked up on the Library Kindle spot.  I had a small pile of unopened magazines that I worked through this weekend.  Country Living had some paint colors I kind of like and I've got a girl's room that needs converted to a guest room so that there is a place to sleep when kids come home.
How about you?  What's on your needles, hooks, reading tables and nightstand??
