A lot has happened since signing the closing papers. It took about 13 days to move, as J had to drop everything for about three days to work. In his business if you turn down work, you may not get any more in the future.
I’m still unpacking, slowly. My sciatica flared up on the 7th, and I’m just now NOT hurting all day/every day. I’m still trying to find the good shower head, but I suppose that will show up eventually. The kitchen has been a bit of a struggle. In the apartment, I had a pantry and a tiny galley kitchen. Here, I have a large galley kitchen and no pantry. I’m praying to the Kitchen Gods of Organization that everything will fit. If not, I may have to get creative with some shelving in the basement.
I’ve created a new blog, New Owner – Old House, over on Blogspot to chronicle a new home owner’s “adventures” with buying an Old House.
There hasn’t been a lot of knitting being done, due to the House needing lots of attention. However, I did start (and nearly finish) a sock this weekend. Here’s a preview of the cuff to gussett:
It’s “Sunday Swing” from the Summer 2009 Knitty. The yarn is, I think, the last real yarn purchase I made since going on The House Diet. It’s Crystal Palace “Panda Wool” in “Basil Curry“. That line of yarn has since been discontinued/replaced with a superwash version in the same colorways. I actually got gauge of 8 stitches per inch with this yarn. I’m using a US size 2 kneedle. Evidently, I’m a tight knitter. Ravelry Link.
I haven’t been able to do any spinning yet. The stash is still packed.

That is a really pretty colourway.
