A little "How To" and FO Review

o, how's your stash-down and cleaning project coming along?

I have almost finished organizing our closets, bathroom, and bedroom! That means all I have left are the shed, the barn, and a few odds and ends inside the house. I can't even tell you how happy that makes me.

Honestly, I'm surprised I've managed to get so much done because life has definitely kept us on our toes lately.

My hubby had surgery on his hand on the 2nd. Since it was his dominant hand, he really couldn't do much for the first few days. His hand was completely bandaged up, and he couldn't even cut up his own food or open the Milo's Tea jug. (You know how men are! 😉)

Then, as if that wasn't enough, I had to pick up my 7-year-old from school early on Friday because he had a fever. A day or two later, the little one came down with it, too.

Ugh... the weather changes here in Alabama are awful when it comes to colds and sinus infections.

Even with all of the craziness, I still managed to make a lot of progress around the house and finish a few knitting projects. I even filmed a short video to share my latest finished objects.

WIPS
Current Wips are the #cozymemoriesblanket and #harvest cardi. I am almost done with my cardi, just started the decreases in my last sleeve yesterday. Here are some lovely photos for your viewing pleasure.. Oh, I also have another Barn Raising Square on the needles in the multi-color yarn.

What is on Deck

So the next thing to get on the needles in the Brickless by Martina Behm . I actually started, but just the first 9 rows. I refuse to work on it till my sweater is done. Then I will do the Crinkle in the Storm hat, as I am calling it. It will allow me to use one of my #15skeinsin2015. I also want to knock some Kitty hats from the Cats in Hats book.
