Thank you all for your lovely comments on my Apre` Surf  Hoodie I really love it and since it’s been so cloudy and chilly still here in Southern California I’ve worn it quite a few times.   I had a wonderful birthday, I got a great haircut that trimmed up the crazy poof that I was sporting and I got a fab birthday present from the Mr.

Birthdays usually aren’t a big deal in this house for some reason.  I will admit that this present was several birthdays of neglect rolled into one.  He did well though, it was more than I expected and the fact that he’s been planning it since December means the world to me.

In other news I’m going with a family friend tomorrow to volunteer for the first time at a horse rescue up in Ojai.  I’m a little nervous as what to expect but it will be awesome to get out of the house.  I really don’t know what people do at home all day who don’t have kids to run after.  Seriously, house wives with out kids? What do you do? This is ridiculous.

I finished a knit too.  I really like it and it finally gave me something to use one of my favorite skiens in.

Baktus

Pattern: Baktus with Mustaavillaa’s modification

Right now there is a lot of knitting going on. I’m finishing up a fingerless mitt pattern, trying to get some motivation to finish a second sock, spinning for tour de fleece, swatching (or trying to get around to swatching) for a new sweater, among other things.   Hopefully I’ll be a little more consistent with blogging.  I realize I haven’t had a whole lot of interesting things to say lately but really, my life just isn’t that interesting.  Still looking for a job and trying not to get down about it.  I’m just no good at sitting at home doing what I see as nothing.  Chores at home are what I would be doing even if I were working so they don’t count.
