Productive weekend!

Whew!  What a productive weekend its been!
After taking a much needed hiatus from that Savanna Shawl fiasco, I decided that I was sick of being mocked and scorned by all this yarn that sits in the plastic bin directly in front of my chair.  So with hook in hand I got busy and grabbed a skein and went to work!  I first started with the cream scarf I promised Jasmine.  In a matter of an afternoon I had gone through and eliminated 3 skeins!  I showed them didn't I?  Oh but they still didn't believe me!  I then grabbed the hibernating first sock for Diamond and finished that up! I then grabbed the Sashay Boogie (Purple) and futzed with that for a couple hours and got about 8 inches of Ravyns Saucy Swirls Scarf knitted.  Still grumblings from the bin? Next up I grabbed the Aubergine (OK EGGPLANT-I like saying Aubergine better!) and made my self a much needed hat! I finished in the late evening for that and satisfied that I would hear no more grumblings I went to sleep.... This morning I heard some stirrings from the yarn bin; something about "how I would be too tired and worn out now to do anything else, and how it would probably take me another 2 weeks before I'd do anything else!" BS!!! I showed them!  I grabbed the skein of Blackstone and whipped up a hat for my dear Johnny (No puffball for him this time!) and just to show them I meant business I grabbed the last skein of Blackstone and started on a matching scarf for him, but alas!  I ran out!  Oh drat and darnation!  Got to make another run to the Craft Market to get 2 more skeins of that!  Now in the meantime I've got some other ideas to start but I'm not quite ready.  Taking a break for now......
