Progress. And lack of progress.
Progress is being made on the afghan. After taking it with me for Passover in Philly with E’s family a couple of cold yucky weekends spent entirely in the apartment in pajama pants, I now have one stripe of each color of yarn. It looks like I have enough yarn now to make maybe a third of the blanket if I can get three stripes per yarn ball, so I’ll have to restock at some point. It’s been a good activity for the non-spring we’ve been having—too cold to want to spend any time outside. And now that we have dvr on the fancy new tv, I can stock up on my favorite tv to watch while I’m crocheting.
Lately, this has been lots of Northern Exposure reruns which seem to be on every day. I always loved that show, but I don’t really want to watch them all in order on dvd—it’s better to be surprised with each episode when it appears. Besides, with dvd I feel obligated to start at the beginning and the beginning of Northern Exposure isn’t that good. Between dvr and the new chair, I’m pretty content.
The main problem with crochet is that, while I can crochet and watch tv at the same time, I can’t crochet and read at the same time. It’s one or the other. So I’m falling way behind on my reading. I’ve been picking up a slew of things from the library and they’re all sitting there while I crochet. I’m trying to balance, but I just can’t seem to find enough time to crochet or read as much as I want to. The whole job thing really gets in the way.
