Mittens, Scarves and Dressers

We had quite the busy weekend. Most of it was spent at Target. We’ve been wanting to do something new with our dresser. I took a picture of it, but I’m too embarrassed to show the internet. Just believe me when I say it was bad.

We decided that we wanted to go to some kind of shelving unit, instead of a dresser. This is mostly because Jim had five hundred billion t-shirts. Which often results in the desired t-shirt being WAY at the bottom of the drawer, leading to his tearing through the dresser drawer and causing me to wonder why I even bother to fold said t-shirts. With our new shelving unit, he can see every one of his five hundred billion t-shirts and leave everything nice and neat (in theory anyway.)

Notice the new TV. We argued for a week about whether we needed a new TV. Jim, of course was convinced that we needed a 27″ television for the bedroom and I was happy to keep the old (very old) one we had. We finally compromised on the 20″ Target special. Now, of course, Jim feels like we need a surround system. For the BEDROOM. I think not.

On to more important matters. Knitting. I’ve finished my brown with gold flecks scarf.

I also made my first mitten. I’m quite proud of myself. It was actually much easier than I anticipated. The pattern is Super Mittens from Weekend Knitting.

These mittens will match my tan, seafoam and brown scarf.

    My question is why do they need 500 hundred shirts. And why can’t they settle to wear one of the other 200 blacks shirts. Why do you have me hunting around the house for a specific black shirt with such an such on it? And the answer “I don’t know what you did with your shirt honey” dosn’t cut it. How did I become the shirt keeper… I may be the laundry do’er.. but I don’t want the title of “finder of all lost ltems that are right in front of your face.”

    It was a rough morning:) Nice scarf….

    I love the scarf and the mittens – good job! Did you use circular needles for the mittens? If so, I may have to pick your brain. I’m having troublems, lol.

    I’m glad you got your bedroom in order!

    ahem… I don’t even feel the need to defend my t-shirt collection and why each and everyone is near and dear to my heart.

    I would like to point out, however, that the TV is WAY too small and needs better sound…. just sayin.
