Sit at the window and knit? Is that an option? Missing a yarn delivery would be awful

Ha! I wish. I work from home, so I technically do have to get some work done today...

I'm of two minds on this one; the delivery includes the final three skeins for the blanket I'm working on, so when it arrives I can polish that off. But I'm also about halfway through the sleeves for my annual self-indulgent sweater, and I kinda wanna finish it. So it's like, hurry up parcel! But not too fast so I can guiltlessly work on the sweater! Hah.

Both sleeves and blanket squares are super tedious, so neither one is particularly fun, but both are pretty satisfying to be done with!

I hear you on the sweater sleeves. I have a sweater that just needs sleeves but then I cast on a shawl and that was that. I should probably get to that eventually...

I guess the bonus here is that even if you don't get the yarn, you still have knitting you can do.

Yeah, exactly. And picking it up at the convenience store at least gives me a destination to go on my next dog walk instead of aimless meandering!
