Twosday
Today was the first day back to work of the year, and since we had a long weekend, I had to keep reminding myself that it was Tuesday. But since it's the second day of 2007, that makes it "Twosday," right?
Sadly, that's the most clever thing I can think of today. How pathetic is that, huh? I don't even have pictures to show you, since I haven't actually taken any pictures yet in 2007. Also, really, quite worrying. I'm usually taking pictures all the time.
Not that I've been unproductive. In the last few days, I've spun on all three of my wheels. (Well, my "active" wheels. The poor, lonely, homeless Kiwi is still just sitting there.) I spun on my new Journey Wheel--finished one bobbin of singles and started the second. Plied merino/silk on my Lendrum, and started the next bobbin of singles on my Majacraft Little Gem.
I've also done at least some knitting on all three of my knitting projects. The hood extension on my plum-colored Celtic Icon is about 4" out of the necessary 18". I'm working on my Tatami, although I need to stop and think--the pattern talks about repeating the two-row pattern for 17 rows . . . but since the pattern is in two-row increments, I think I need to pull out the calculator to figure out if they really want 17 rows or 17 repeats. But still, that's coming along nicely. And I've got both heels turned on my Socks That Rock socks, and am now working up the leg.
I've also already finished one book for the year, and am currently reading five different books: A History of Handknitting, Death in the Garden, Labyrinths, Reading Like a Writer, and Good Night, Mr Holmes. 
And, oh yes, I took Chappy for a walk at lunchtime. It was in the mid- to upper-forties, sunny, a light breeze. Remarkably nice for January.
But, really, it's very quiet.
Go wish Wendy a happy birthday, though, huh?
And, if you've got a few spare dollars, go buy a virtual ornament for a very sick little girl who doesn't have much time . . . she wants to see her tree "full" before she dies. I know she's in my prayers! (Interestingly, I DID make a donation in her name, but my name's not on the list--not that that matters, but just so you know, I did put my money where my mouth is . . . it's a good cause!)
I like "twosday", very silly and that makes me snicker. You sound rather busy so early in the year, you're off to great start! Chappy seems to have some good ideas of his own;)

Don't feel too bad about not taking pictures yet. The year is young. Besides, it usually takes a day or 2 to recover from New Year's celebrations. Just staying up late messes with my head.

Thanks Deb! Thanks so much for your donation and for letting others know about little Morgan. Her family is incredibly touched by the outreach of kindess from the fiber community!

Happy New Year.

I always find it a bit difficult to get into the swing of a new year. It sounds like you have your fiber groove going - can't wait to see the pictures.

Wow, you do so much, do you sleep? You must be a great multi-tasker though honestly because your always have so much read and spun and knitted.

I find it takes a bit to get back into the swing after the holidays. I wouldn't be too worried about your not taking any pictures in 2007 yet. In fact, I think I took plenty for you - 124 (plus a few on the p&s too) :-)

That Chappy is so darn cute.
I'm anxious to hear what you think about a History of Handknitting, I've been thinking about reading it.

Thanks for the link to the information on Morgan. My thoughts are with her and her family. I was glad to be able to give up a few lunches.

Even if you aren't taking any pictures, you've definitely been busy!
