I find all this packing and moving business rather tedious and frustrating. We've organised all the utilities to be switched on and off and all has gone well except for our broadband connection. Would you believe, all the utilities will function on the the day, including the telephone but the broadband takes four working days! Why??
To help me survive all of this I need to knit. I've finished the fifth square on my Dark Star Stole but now I need something else to knit. (No photos yet because the weather is awfully gloomy at the moment). And unlike some people I think all I can cope with for the time being is slabs of stocking or garter stitch. So I thought I might cast on for an Ishbel and work on it till I get to the lacy bit and/or I might cast on for an Eyelet Cardi. A little gentle mindless knitting will be most welcome over the coming days.

got your message on the blog - chat to you soon ok :)
too funny! Sometimes you just need to healing force of garter stitch! Good luck with the move.
Do NOT envy you that packing. Good luck with the move. And I can highly recommend Ishbel :-)
Is that the old or the new view through the window?
Maybe, if you are very very good and quiet, the unpacking elves will show up while you sleep. Over many moves I kept hoping and wishing for them, maybe you will have better luck attracting them to your new home. :)
It's the old view Mary - unfortunately:(
I'll be on best behaviour today and maybe those elves will show up.
Good luck with the unpacking, and don't work too hard! You just have to sit down and knit a bit every now and then, it strength both the body and soul :-)
Take good care of yourself!
Hi Amanda,
Good luck with your move. Moving is such a hassle. I know you will be happy when it's all completed.
How nice that you are moving to a home with lots of lavender plants. You'll have lots of good scents around your home.
I love mindless knitting. Sometimes you just need the mindless knitting. It can be very soothing.
Mindless knitting is great for taming chaos- hope your move goes as smoothly as it can.
I feel like running when I see those boxes ...!
Good luck with moving, Amanda. It's one of the most frustrating things I know...
Did you go very far?
Still in the bush?
And socks are good for mindful knitting - I find! And especially yellow socks can cheer you up;-)
Wishing you luck and lots of energy!
Haha, this was entertaining to read. I must say that all your packed up stuff looks pretty organized in the picture. Way to go!
