Too much free time?

And just like that, two months pass by without blogging.  It would seem like staying home for a couple months would mean I would have plenty of spare time.  It. Does. Not.  Working from home, while trying to help two kids navigate e-learning is more complicated than it sounds.  And my sweetie (who worked the whole time normally, except for a short two week furlough) seems to think that working from home means I don't actually have to work and have plenty of time to clean.  Seriously?  Flexible work hours doesn't translate to not working.  Sigh.  Eye roll.

I did get quite a bit of knitting done, especially in the evenings when I would otherwise be chauffering children to Scouts, sports or other fun activities.  Two hats ready for St. Baldericks. (Assuming they have their fundraiser this fall.  I can't even predict next week.) A baby blanket half-finished.

And, for me, a shawl nearly finished. clapotis.  I started the decrease rows last night.  After that, I have to drop all those stitches.  Intentionally.  That just goes against the grain for a knitter, but that IS the design.  The silk bamboo feels dreamy, but the overall shawl is a bit heavier than I expected.  Maybe it won't feel like that when draped around my shoulders, but on my lap, it weighs pounds.

Today, it is all about the weight.
