Grand Plans

Spring Break. I had a week off, and I was going to make good use of it.

Yeah, right.

I was finally going to sit down, drop a lifeline, and frog the dragon swatch.

Yes, I know you can't see the error. No, I did not get around to taking a better shot that would show it off. No, I don't need to hear how I'm the only one who would notice it. You would see it too if I I circled it or something. I promise, a miscrossed cable is one that stands out.

I had some time to start a project I had bought yarn for.

I bought this yarn when I got the afghan's yarn. They were having a buy one, get one 50% off. I only needed five skeins for the afghan, so...

Did I do any of this? 

Nope. I caught a cold.

I watched some TV. I kept up to date on the blogs. (It's April. That takes more time right now.) And I rested. (I did, however, manage to get my taxes done, so at least there's that.) 

Just about the time I started to feel better... Nah, I'll save that story for Saturday's post. I've been whining long enough.

So, now I just have to figure out something to work on that'll fit M day. Because, yeah, I'm pretty much making it up as I go along. 

Happy Monday. Does anyone have anything exciting planned for this week? I'm back at work, and the math classes have a test this week. Woo-hoo!

  3. I wouldn't say not to worry, only you would notice! If I noticed, it would bug me continually to leave it. That's a great color.

    1. Nope, everyone would notice. It's a glaring error. Trust me on this.

  5. Resting and watching TV can be fun. Hope you get to check out the eclipse today.

  6. Uh-oh, sounds like something was more than a cold. I hope all turned out well. P.S. our eclipse was hidden by clouds. I plan to blog about it at some point. I guess that was my excitement.

    1. Nah, the cold was just a cold. Or still is, I should say. The next is something on top of the cold.

  7. This is Birgit…sorry to hear you caught a cold. I’m still trying to get better but getting there. I hope your cold doesn’t take as long as mine.
    Sorry but I don’t see the error…regardless, I know you will fix it and everything will look grand

    1. The math isn't really an issue, but the knitting still isn't happening. Sigh.

  9. Sorry your spring break didn't go as planned, sometimes it's pointless to make plans. Love the green, sorry about the error, but oh how I hate to frog...and sometimes I just don't. Sometimes the nature of the yarn is what keeps me from doing that. Hope things go smoothly for you on your first day back.

    1. This is a smooth yarn, so frogging won't be a big deal.

  10. I'm trying to see the error you're talking about. Sorry, I don't. I hope you're well by now. I doubt sickness was in your grand plans.

    1. If I had had more energy, I could have taken a picture of it close up and then you'd see it. But I didn't.

  11. Hmm, it looks like it hasn't been your best week... Sorry about the cold and cough, but that's what always happens: it's during the vacations that you get sick. Hope you are getting better, and ready for knitting something beautiful with this pretty new yarn ;)

  12. I really like that lime green color.

    I feel like I never get much done whenever I have grand plans like that.
