I was so tired and exhausted though, that I was sleeping whenever I could manage – got up late in the morning (9-10 am), and took an afternoon nap with Sára, and usually went to bed around 10, which is very unusual for me. And I still feel I could sleep all day long. Is this the spring tiredness, or just lack of vitamines? I was too lazy to even switch on the computer for days.

Anyway, when I was not sleeping, I knitted. To make myself happy, I decided to knit on my caftan pullover, and I have finished the front!!! I don’t say it is perfect, but a good wash and blocking will give it a nice finish. I started one of the sleeves, and I hope I will be able to finish until the end of the week. If I don’t have to work on Saturday, because of the mixed up working days due to 1st of May.

 Ah, and I did quite a few rows on the co-workers vest. It is taking shape nicely.

I promise to put on pictures tomorrow.

 Until then:

This is my new avatar at Ravelry. I receive a lot of compliments on it. And not only from the LSG (Lazy, Stupid and Godless) Group.

I’ve blocked the Jane sweater, and tried to sew it together. Guess what? I’ve lost the pattern. I had an idea about how to do it, but it was wrong. I can’t figure out the way!!!!

I’m desperate. I’m planning to write to Hand Maiden, and ask them if it is possible to receive only the schematic, how to sew the thing together.

 I was curious, so I did something I thought I will never do: washcloth

I loved the Mason-Dixon pattern on Ravelry, so I gave it a try. It is a fun little knit, a bit like a swatch, with a purpose. You don’t feel you waste your time, because it will turn out something you will use. But will I really use a washcloth? Well, if not me, someone in the family surely will. Sára, for example.

Now that the big event (WAMP) is over, I gave myself a bit of a holiday from bead crochet, and I will go through my UFO’s.  I’m planning to finish a few of them:

- Sára’s crochet cotton rug.
- Cobweb scarf  (from the Natural Dye Studio’s wonderful kid mohair)
- Oooh, and of course the Caftan pullover. This should be the first on the list!
- The washcloth (this one is good to work on when everything else seems too complicated)

I can’t think of anything else right now, but I really need to go through the pile. There must be something else hiding…..

• So, the Book and more swap: I’ve received my package, and I’ve ordered a book through Etsy. This long weekend I will look for a nice yarn to send it out to my partner.
• Random Act of Kindness group: I’m expecting a few box of goodies from the wonderful ladies there: they will send stuff to my daughter, since this was my wish for March.
• Still the RAC group: I promised to send out some Hungarian speciality sweets to a fellow Hungarian, currently living in the UK. She badly misses these sweets, and Hungary. I totally understand it, so I will fill up her stock.
• I will write a letter to a Raveler’s brother, staying in Iraq, far away from his pregnant wife, who has difficulties with the pregnancy, and the baby is in a big danger. This was also a request from the RAK group. Aren’t these girls are wonderful?
• I will have to collect the yarns I’ve promised to give away in the Yarn Karma group (note to self: the two Trendsetter Dune, and the Norvegian turquoise wool), so I can post them right away on Tuesday.
• In return I’m expecting the following: an apple jacket (I’ve always liked them on Etsy, cool and fun stuff), and a super bulky wool for a hat.
• I’ve ordered a few things from Etsy (I should stop going there. I just can’t seem to resist buying that great stuff, and I supposed to sell there…. Hello!) like:

- That gorgeous sterling silver dragonfly pin (I’ve always wanted one, exactly like this. 
   You’ll see, it is just the ultimate pin.)
- The book I’ve ordered for the swap – this goes to my partner straight away.
- Two strands of turquoise beads,
- One strand of red coral stick beads, to go with the above beads,
- 9 balls of special japanese yarn, which is treated with silver ions, to be antibacterial, and
   a japanese tawashi book (great stuff, I tell you about it later).

Uhmmm, I think that’s all. Poor postman. I should invite him for a coffee next time he turns up….

Ah, and here is a picture about Sára, my 5-year-old daughter, holding the back of the Caftan Pullover, which is   -  this close  -  to be finished.

Now guess, which size I’m knitting?
