Ouch, my fingers hurt!

I made 4 batches of soap this weekend (7lbs each). My fingers always end up hurting after making soap. So not much was accomplished in the way of knitting. I did start Boy Caboodle's scarf but it's a simple 2x2 rib with 20 stitches. I also finished lining a felted purse that I made earlier this summer. It feels good to get these old projects out of my hair (only 4 or 5 more ufo's to declare finished!). Boy Caboodle starts "school" tomorrow. Actually, it's a mom's day out program...2 mornings a week. He's looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to it, unless he hates it and then I will be pulling my hair out.
