Busy, busy, busy. So busy in fact, that I’m blogging at 11.30pm, when I should be long in bed, and I haven’t knit a stitch in two days.
\nAnd I’m missing it sorely. I need the stress relief.
\nThe dance comp.
\nOn Saturday afternoon and evening, Em competed in two sections. Each section required two dances. The first was the ballet section, and required a character dance first.
\nEm’s character dance is a Snake Charmer.

\nThen she had to do her classical routine.
\n

\nSee the trophy? First place!
\nA little bit later on, her second section was a tap section and required two tap dances.
\nThis is her first one.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThis is her second.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nSee the trophies? First place again! Way to go, Em!
\nDid I get the scarf done?
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nYou bet I did! I finished it at the comp on Saturday night. I also finally finished Em’s fluffy socks on Saturday.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nShe’s pretty happy with them, and has declared them a perfect fit. She also doesn’t want to take them off! (First pic is much more accurate colourwise)
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nAs long as she doesn’t go telling all her friends I’ll knit a pair for them!
\nTo anyone who I owe an email to, my sincere apologies. I’m flat out keeping up with all the crap I’ve let slide, and I’m exhausted. My house is a pigsty and the sewing I’m being paid to do is seriously<\/em> behind. And it’s all stressing me out just a little.
\nI’m having difficulty finding time to knit over the past week and a half or so, and when I do find the time, I’m lacking motivation. I’m working on a pile of stuff I’ve promised to other people, and right now it feels like obligation knitting, not knitting for enjoyment.
\nIf it wasn’t for loved ones, I’d throw it all aside, but it is<\/em> for loved ones, and I know they appreciate what I make for them. It’s just not inspiring!
\nI’ve been promising myself that I can knit all sorts of wonderful things just as soon as I finish the second Fair Isle glove, and one or two other small projects. But I might need to start somehting gorgeous just to kick the motivation into gear.
\nI just happen to have a single ball of Cashmerino Aran, and the new Knitty has a rather fetching<\/a> pattern which just happens to call for a single skein of Cashmerino Aran.
\nHmm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
