Knitting or House or Both

I finished the rusted root sweater for Sarah. It still needs to be blocked. I will post pictures when that is done. I have resurrected the faroese shawl that I started last year. I want to get it done, and with the weather we have been having lately, it will be nice and warm to wear. I have also been knitting cotton face cloths for Sarah. They are easy and fun to do.

Things have been a little crazy at the house this week. The cabinet guys have been working all week. After some confusion as to what I wanted, things are going better now. They have had to tear out some of the work they had done, because it was not right, and I called them on it.

The other interesting aspect we found out this week is that the half wall between the kitchen and living room is about a foot too far into the living room. We found this out because the cabinets in the kitchen were not lining up correctly when going by the plan. It's too late to change the wall now, so we will have to live with it. It's not a horrible error, but I'm perturbed that it was not caught by the contractor. I did not think we needed to measure everything as we went along. Obviously, I was wrong. The positive outcome of the wall being misplaced is that now I will have a wider island in the kitchen. I will have more storage, and it will be a lovely work space.

No pictures of the house right now, because there is just too many people and too much sawdust.

I was getting ready to call you to see if they had fixed island ...glad to hear they have. Maybe the goof with halfwall will be a blessing in disguise. Jan
