I moved again at the end of July, and just started my postdoctoral fellowship. So things are in flux. Added to this is the fact that boyfriend and kitty are still in Montana! It's definitely a weird time and I'm still trying to figure out my life right now...workout routine, work schedule, when to knit, cook, bake, read. And this darn long distance relationship thing, that pretty much is fine in terms of our relationship. We're solid. But it just stinks.
I've been working on the get well mitts for my aunt (Autumnal Mitts), but haven't made much progress on anything else. The cotton yarn thing is definitely getting in the way of finishing the market bag and drew top. I'm thinking of starting a couple of new projects, but I'm not sure which yet: the Craftsman Afghan (in my own set of colors - mostly blues and greens), a top-down cardigan (in mustard yellow), or this pretty ruffle scarf (Ravelry link - for the qiviut - finally! Haven't picked the color yet though.)
The get well mitts are almost done. I have 2 more rounds of ribbing to do on the second mitt, and then the thumbs. And I ran out of yarn. Since they are a tad long for my taste (though they're not for me and i do have smaller than average hands), I know I could frog back on each of them to take out one pattern repeat, but I'm hoping of the couple people on Ravelry with that yarn to trade/sell will come through on this!
Really, other than this, there hasn't been a whole lot of knitting. I've just been too wiped out from my new job at night to do anything except make dinner and watch TV. I hate that...so hopefully I'll get used to it soon. Today I am hoping to start one of those new projects (but which one?) and certainly work out. In fact, that's what I'll do now, before I get too hungry for lunch! And I'm seeing boyfriend on Thursday and through the weekend, definitely a bright spot in what will be a busy, busy week. (Still missing a small cat though.)
