I didn't actually get up until noon, but when I did I fixed my bed and took a shower and made a large quantity of food because I was very hungry. While I was eating I sat down to catch up some on the 2014 Winter Olympics that are still on the DVR from February. All I'm watching is the figure skating, and all I had left of it was the women's skating (plus the post-competition gala, which is essentially "Hey, have some fun!"). Once I finished breakfast I grabbed Róisín and my green-and-blue fiber bundle and returned to watching. I spent most of the day spinning and watching Olympics, except for when I took a break to tackle my closet again. Two more shelves and another drawer down (leaving only the two drawers of shirts plus all the hanging clothes on the other side), and I also figured out how to handle all the bags hanging on the back wall. I've determined I cannot have more projects on the go than hooks to hang the project bags. We'll see how that works. The "one project per hook/needle set" rule seems to have helped greatly, so maybe this one will too.
I finished both my singles for today with time to spare, and spent a while knitting on Wibbley Wobbley Timey Wimey as well. I have one more row to finish the TARDISes (TARDI? What's the plural of TARDIS?) and then it's on to the boring stitch patterns (reverse stockinette and ribbing). I was hoping to have two balls of the yarn leftover, but it looks like I may actually have to break into the third ball to finish the ribbing. I'm okay with that.
Here's my Tour de Fleece collage for today:
The top picture is one of the baby American skaters, fifteen-year-old Polina Edmunds, skating in the ladies' free skate. The bottom picture is the ladies' gold medalist, Russian Adelina Sotnikova, dancing inexplicably with flags during the gala.
And now for my second week of 3 Good Things. I'm proud of myself for keeping up with this for two straight weeks.
