What did I do on my days off? Here’s a rundown:

• Cleaned bathroom. At last.
• Put up some decor - some shelves and sconces. Picture!

  

• Bought another book. Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs. Just saw it at Walmart, bought it for no good reason… I’d better get to cracking with the whole reading thing, eh?
• Bought groceries, too. Go me!
• Thawed out a pot roast from the deep freeze. Will dump it in the slow cooker in the morning.
• Began knitting a mitten! Picture!

  
  The book in the picture (Holiday Knits) is the inspiration for said mitten. However, inspiration is a good term for it, since I keep changing things. Like, I didn’t have size 5 needles (I could swear I did… where are they? Do I? Or was I imagining it?) so I’m using size 6. I thought that maybe if I just knit tightly, it’d be okay. But it wasn’t, really. It’s a bit too large. Should’ve went down a /size/. So I sort of modified it to “go down a size” after I discovered this by removing a couple stitches. And I’m doing the seed stitch patterned mitten, but with a ribbed cuff, not a seed stitch cuff. Feh. Whatever. *lol* It’s working, so far. Hopefully it’ll all be okay in the end, even if my ribbing is rather awful for no good reason.

• Decided to make a Kitty Pi kitty bed. I have a lot of sitting-around-uselessly brown and green wool from KnitPicks, and… I may as well use it. Will double up since I’m knitting with worsted instead of bulky weight yarn.

That’s my weekend in a nutshell. How was yours?

2. PS: I would love a pair of mittens, so if an extra pair happens to come together before Christmas next year, I wouldn’t be too sad if they ended up on my hands. :)
   OH! And what are you doing for your birthday this year?
