I stuck quite well to my new plan on Friday and yesterday. I finished the latest clue for my mystery quilt and moved on to my April UFO. I have had problems with this pattern in the past but the first block went together just fine so I was hopeful the problems were behind me. I cut the next three blocks out; when I started putting together the second block I soon realized there was a problem. The cutting instructions were missing one piece – not really a problem as I had the size required from the layout instructions. Then another section was clearly not the right length in the cutting instructions; it took me until today to sort out which parts needed to be recut and stitched.

The afternoons went well and I managed to reverse stitch a section on my grad gift as well as fill in another section. I finished one knitting project and I liked the pattern so much that I immediately started another one using the same pattern. I’m not liking this one as much because the yarn is too dark to really show off the pattern but finishing it should use up most of the yarn.

Today has been a bit backwards. I would normally spend Sunday morning at my computer but curling had already started by the time I got up so I was downstairs with my coffee to watch what remained of the game. There was a brief break before baseball started; while I watched baseball I started to remove another section of my grad project. Before the game was over we had to shut it off and head out to the movies – One Life with Anthony Hopkins and Helena Bonham Carter. It was excellent.

I’ve caught up now on my computer work and I think it is too late in the day to start anything that needs too much thought. That means I’ll do a few levels of Candy Crush and/or a couple of other games.
