I arrived home mid-afternoon yesterday, and after cleaning out my inbox, I finally sat down and hooked for the first time in days. I'd been missing it, and the familiar rhythm relaxed me and helped trick me into feeling like I'd had a bit of a weekend after all.
Right before bed, I started combining pieces of wool for future crosses. Bad idea -- I didn't want to stop and definitely had trouble turning off my brain and getting to sleep. Hopefully these piles will help speed things up a little, since I won't need to spend time choosing any colours for the next while...
