No appreciable knitting getting done in this house...

Even the big knitter is slowing down on his knitting lately...several blankets are still in progress but coming along slowly.
The corner where the big knitter sits to knit is in our t.v. room. Awhile back we put up a curtain on the window in there. We never had one on that window because it faces out onto the back porch and back yard.
Anyway, that curtain makes the room so dark it's like a cave in there. In fact, it's just about the best mid-day-nap-room one could ask for on the big ol' corner couch.
At night, though, the lighting is nebulous, so much so that the big knitter really thought he was working on a brown blanket and when he took it outside on the back porch the other day, he found out it was really a lovely shade of dark purple. Oooooh, and what a lovely shade it really is... I must have helped him pick that yarn out.
I haven't knitted for so long and haven't even been to our fave yarn store Kiwi for so long, I'm seriously feeling out of touch. Maybe I'll visit Ravelry and see what's going on.
Or maybe not.
We'll see.
