Today's big ol' complaint: My leg has been twitching on and off for the last hour. Such a darn distraction, though at least fairly benign.
I woke up fairly early this morning. Ah, who am I kidding. I woke up just before 3 a.m. and couldn't fall back asleep, so I was 'productive' and read more of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I continued to be productive and instead of going to the gym this morning, I sat in the cafeteria and finished the book and finished my cross-stitch. It needs some blocking just like a piece of knitting.
Better yet, I had a knitting project in my desk, so I was able to do some knitting over my lunch break (and while I made a mistake at the end, it is a relatively easy fix and I caught it before I had knit a second row). That means I am back to working on Delphine, which I hope working on will call forth the rest of summer. It's nice having a dedicated lunch project, so I will have to think of a different project to work on for my commute. Probably finishing up one of the bazillion pairs of socks (4 is a bazillion, right?).
Windsor Button is open late on Thursdays, so I will go over there and get some Soak. I would rather buy a small thing of Soak and wash some hand knits while I am blocking my cross-stitch, then go somewhere and buy Ivory Dish Detergent, which was my cross-stitch washing soap of choice (along with J&J baby shampoo). It's been so long since I've washed and blocked a finished cross-stitch project that I'm not sure what the best method is. The solution for this ignorance!
To the Internet!
