Well, looks like I started two new projects

Oops.

So my husband needs a new bedspread for the futon thing in his studio. And since we happen to have baskets full of crochet blankets he thought he’d just use those. But none of them are big enough. So for now he has two on there, side by side, but that doesn’t really look good.

And I’ve been wanting to make another blanket but didn’t quite know which. Also, see piles of blankets that nobody uses.

So I decided to take the pattern of the one he likes best and – make a bigger one. Which is entirely sensible and logical. Also, Lucy from Attic24 is doing another CAL in January and I really like the new pattern, so I’m thinking about making that one as well.

But. Each time you buy one of those yarn packs for the blankets your left with a ton of leftover yarn. But not enough for another blanket.

The bigger blanket, on the other hand, could probably be made with one yarn pack and leftovers that I already have.

Cool.

So I went off to the Wool Warehouse website to order the yarn but – they no longer ship to Germany. Boo.

I did find another online shop that ships to Germany from the Netherlands but they don’t have the yarn packs, just individual balls. Which has the advantage that I can just order the colors I need but which also meant I had to spend half an hour finding each color in the shop.

But that was in the afternoon.

In the morning I knitted and did all the usual morning things. I did decide to move yoga to the evening which did not work out in the end.

I went walking/running though, and it wasn’t even raining. Much.

I came back home, took a shower and ate lunch:

Instead of taking a break I went straight on to sort my leftover yarn and make a list of what I need for the two blankets.

Then there was teaching. More yarn wrangling. I now have a nice and somewhat tidy yarn cupboard and I put the yarn for the next blanket in my crochet basket but I also have piles and piles of stuff on the living room table because I had to empty that basket.

But, behold the blanket yarn cupboard:

I read a little but did not have time for Genhin. I played the piano, dusted and cleaned the mirrors.

I did not open the manuscript. Again.

In the evening I ate dinner, then opened Genshin and – had connection problems. And just as I was starting to play for the first time that day the boy showed up with some paperwork he needed and all kinds of things, and needless to say I did not go to bed on time.

I was just about to write „thank God it’s Friday“ but, um, it’s not.
