Out like a Lion?

Here we are, the last weekend of March and I have so much to do and it's raining. Yesterday was the perfect day to get farm chores done but I let the kids have a sleepover on Friday night and their friends didn't leave until noon. There's half my day gone. We went to see the Camp family and there went a few more hours. Ok, so it's my fault that outdoor chores didn't get done on a nice day but honestly, I wasn't in the mood to do them yesterday. I did, at least, get two poo piles cleaned up but found at least four more out in the pasture I will need to tackle.

The good thing about this weekend is that I basically have my first knitting project done. A dishcloth...a very awful looking dishcloth. What started out as 30 rows became 40-45 depending on the line. How did I do that? Good question....

I was going to start working on the purl technique but I have decided to do another dishcloth in knit just to get the technique down.

Who knows....this knitting newbie is having fun and that's all that matters...

Another good thing about this weekend is the rain. Ok, so I was just complaining about it but our pasture is turning green. Hooray! My bales of hay are dwindling since I bought a few alpaca after the hay purchase so I will need to conserve the hay until cutting time. With fresh pasture to eat, they will be happy.

Wish me luck on the next dishcloth....may my lines stay consistant throughout :-)
