I am in a great mood! I pushed like a maniac this weekend and got all of my patterns typed up for my book. Well, all but one, which I am still knitting.
I think this is the toughest part of the book-writing process for me since I really only like to write patterns because I like to knit. There is still a bunch to do, I do still have to actually write the book (you know all the intros and techniques parts and whatnot) and do a bunch of other organizey bits. But I feel like I cleared the biggest hurdle with the pattern typing, so it should all go realitively quickly from here. Especially since I just sat down and outlined all the parts I need to write and realized I actually enjoy that part!
But, I am seeing an end to this project, which seemed at many points this year like it would never be done. There are definitely big sighs of relief and a much less stressed attitude in my house right now. Although daylight savings time is kicking my butt. I hate daylight savings.
Alrighty, thanks to the help of Yo Gabba Gabba, I am off to get a little more typing done. Yes, I put my kiddo in front of the tv. Yes, I know it is not "good" for kids. But 20 minutes every now and again isn't going to do major brain damage, and in fact may save my sanity.

Nuttin wrong with a bit of TV mom! It helps my sanity too!
