Life can get exhausting.

I feel overwhelmed by everyone asking me "O how are you doing?" " Are you ready for the baby?" "Do you have everything you need?" "How do you feel?" " Wow, You are so big. When are you due?" "Are you having two?" It is not helping me, I am stressed out enough. Please stop with all the questions. I knit to destress but the current Kal I am working on is starting to become overwhelming. There are waaaaaaay too many stitches and they just keep increasing. I am not even done with the twenty rows from the first clue and clue three was released yesterday. I just want to give up and hide until I have the baby but this weekend is the weekend that the Travelling Wall is here and my grandpa is co-chair. I was there yesterday and I am going again today after I go shopping and a birthday party way down in the valley when all I really want is to get a manicure and hide.

Feeling pretty good.

I have finished my Wharf cowl and the sweater I was testing. I will post pictures in the morning hopefully. I haven't decided if I am going to block my sweater right now or not since that means that I would have to go out and buy blocking pins since I don't seem to own any anymore.....thank you moving boxes for losing all my stuff.

I tried the sweater on and it surprisingly fit me even with the belly bump. I am glad that I made the torso longer. Josh liked the curling of the hem at the bottom, I am still not sold on it.

Now that I am done with the projects that I had on needles I am wondering if I should start anything new yet or if I should wait. I do have two KAL's coming up, Pandia's Jewels(Holden Shawlette) and the SW Mystery Shawl on the 14th and 13th this month. but ten days seems so far away......I am getting fidgety also I am avoiding working on the blanket that I am making for Nikola (the baby in my belly). It is a worsted weight Red Heart blankey which makes it super warm on my lap when I am working on it. With the weather these days I am avoiding heat as much as possible, even when my a/c is turned down to 76 degrees I am still sweaty sticky hot! I can't wait for my internals to get back to normal.

My Ideas for the next few(by few I mean one and a half) months

So here is a list of the projects that I want to finish and/or start between now and the end of the year, by the end of the year I really mean....next month.

Start

• Malabrigo neck thingy in my cashmere birthday yarn
• Martinmas Shawl in Pagewood Farm and Mountian Colors( the yarns from the Claremont stores during the yarn crawl this year)
• Westknits Mystery KAL in my new knitpicks yarn that I just got for my birthday
• Holden Shawlette (Pandia's Jewels Fall KAL) in Ravenclaw i.e. Squirtle colors
• Fingerless gloves if I have the time

WIP

1. Middle Street Test-due Sept 1 i.e. TODAY!!!!
2. Wharf-due Sept 14th
3. Nikola's blanket-due before 10/12/13 (my due date)

So there you have it, my list of projects that I must do. I figured that if I wrote that down somewhere it would make me more accountable....somehow.
