Pixie Purls Knitting & Spinning

This is how we live

Last night i got into bed while the husbeast was still playing video games, so I brought birch to finish a purl row. I was sitting in bed and realized, there was 4 of us. "When we have kids, is it going to be 5 of us in bed then?" "Yup", was the husbands reply. Good thing we have a king.

So then this morning I woke up, and Willow the big golden was snuggled up against my right side, basically forcing me onto my husbands side, then Toby, the black one was snuggle in-between both of the bottom half of our legs. I was completely surrounded. This is how we live. When I wake up, I feel very loved. It's cute how they don't just sleep in the bed, but snuggle as close to us as they can. They are terribly spoiled.

Here was my husbands view 2 weeks ago when he went skiing at Camelback with his dad.

Here is the state of Birch as of this morning.

I worked on this all day yesterday. When I say all day, I mean it. It was like being in a "Trance" (ehem). I simply could not stop myself from knitting on it. I would say I was slow for the first whole 8 row repeat. The first two rows where very scarey because I had some YO's right near the markers and was never sure where to put the marker. Everything seems okay right now. I'll hope for the best. I can see the pattern (I think!) so I'm going to keep going and going. I hope I don't have to frog or tink. I feel like if I work on this I will get even more out of shape and gain weight because I mean I literally for well over 12 hours just sat on my butt on the couch and knit, knit, knit! Last night when I was to tired to work on a complex purl row I worked about two rows of chamonix. This is how I like to knit. Mutli-task. This is how I am with all things in life.

I hope it's okay I am doing YO's where it says yfwd.

Update:
Had to frog the whole thing, The dogs and the husband kept coming into to talk to me. I'm feeling highly frustrated and wondering if I can knit Lace when I live with 2 dogs and a husband.

My Bouncer dog sleeps BETWEEN me and my husband. Lots of times I wake up, and his (Bouncer's) head is on my pillow. We've slept with 3 dogs (and we're talking 50 lb dogs, not little chihuahuas or something) and 2 humans in a full-size bed.
So I understand what you're saying.
I think "yfwd" is British for "yo," so you should be ok.

Ouch. I spent two entire days making one row of progress on Kiri. If I have to tink back again, I think I'm going to lose it.

Ouch indeed. I've been doing nothing but frogging and reknitting Scott's hat but that KSH is a pain to frog.
