Looking a bit messier than usual. Since tomorrow is my furlough day, I am trying to clear off all the paperwork.
BTW I was alone in the office when I took this photo as everyone else was at lunch (my favorite time of the day!).
Winding all the yarn tonight! For those who aren't into knitting, sometimes yarn comes in "hank" form, which means it's basically a big loop of yarn. What this also means is that you can't start knitting it until it has been wound into a ball. Otherwise, you end up with a big tangled mess. I learned this the hard way when I first started getting into fancy yarn (the kind that comes in hanks) - I think William is still scarred from the experience of having to help me untangle yard upon yard of alpaca yarn. *shudder* Anyway, the yarn gets wound into these little "cake" looking things pictured here by using a ball winder and swift. A swift looks like the insides of an umbrella and holds the big loop of yarn open and spins while it's being wound into a ball. A ball winder basically works the same way a fishing reel does, and it's what makes the "cakes" to keep the yarn tidy. By the way, you don't have to have a ball winder and swift to wind yarn - you just need someone willing to hold the yarn in a big loop over their arms while you wind it by hand....but that takes much longer, and the person holding the yarn usually gets cranky because their arms get tired ;)
For those wondering, the yarns from left to right are as follows:
-Zen Yarn Garden Serenity 20 in a special one-of-a-kind colorway for Simply Socks Yarn sitting on top of my handspun Hello Yarn Turkey Attack
-Stonehedge Fiber Mill Shepherd's Wool in gray sitting on top of my handspun Hello Yarn Night Gathers
-2 skeins of Zen Yarn Garden Serenity 20 in another special one-of-a-kind colorway for Simply Socks Yarn
Most of this will be used to make gifts :) Off to knit!!
So today's picture is kind of a cheat because it was taken last Thursday, but it was so beautiful, I couldn't help but share it. We were greeted Thanksgiving morning by this sunrise over our neighborhood. Amazing!
Yesterday, the foundation was all that had been complete. Today, prefabricated concrete walls, some with windows already in, are in place.
354.365 - December 20, 2013 - Had a nice evening shopping with my wife tonight. I know, what could be nice about shopping this time of year?? Maybe it was because we weren't actually trying to buy anything and as such didn't have to stand in any lines. Anyway, after we got home I convinced her to be my model again for today's photo. I told her only her hands with the mug would be in the shot, but in the end I liked this one better than any of those. Sorry honey!

當初以為阿富汗少女鏡會很大一顆，
原來只比24定長一點而已
話雖如此，但這重量還真不輕。
濕地邊上百隻瓢蟲恣意交配，雖然可愛但多起來有點噁心
有人以前看書說喜歡瓢蟲，
現在他討厭的又多蜘蛛以外的第二樣了。

278.365 - October 5, 2013 - Ok, today was a zoo! I had to be up early to take my son to band practice, followed by dropping my daughter off at the Nebraska football stadium because she had to work at the game, then to another football field a couple hours after that to watch my son march in the competition. Then, home to watch a little of the Husker football game and then to church during the third quarter to take our youth group to a local pumpkin patch. After the pumpkin patch trip I had to immediately return to the marching competition to watch my son march a second time. Then, finally home for the day! On top of it all it was very cold, cloudy and windy all day and I think I'm getting a cold! Plus, my wife is in Colorado so it was all on me to be everywhere at once!
I took this picture of one of our youth group girls at the pumpkin patch. Her name is Bahn (pronounced Ben).
All in all it was a good day, although I don't want another one like it for awhile!
359.365 - December 25, 2013 - Merry Christmas! Had a great day today getting up this morning and opening presents with my wife and kids. Then my wife's mother came over and spent the rest of the day with us. My highlight gift was this ukulele from my wife!
