"Working" from home

Have you ever been allowed to work from home? Not too many people are allowed to and now I now why. You don't actually work much. So far today - I've showered, (amazing I know) played outside with the dogs, ate breakfast, played on the computer, IM'd, and wrote this blog entry. Can you even beleive my progress! Yeah - I know!

Now - On the knitting news. I finished my washcloth last night! It's gorgeous!



I finished it in two evenings. I like that feeling of satisfaction after finishing a project. It's such a rush! And now the best part is that I get to start something new! I guess I really should finish one of the other projects I started - but new ones are so much more fun! I got some new wool to make another style of felted bag. I think I'm going to try something new - instead of a booga bag - I may try a messenger bag or something. Here are the directions for the washcloth:
