Last weekend we moved our furniture for the floor installation because we knew this weekend we would be busy with the robotics tournament. I feel like we've been living in the Little House on the Prairie. In our kitchen's eating area, we have two computers (one on an office desk), our kitchen table, the armoire with our media equipment, a coffee table, the couch, a chair and footstool, a washstand, and a bookcase. Oh, and the dog crate and bed and some bins of school supplies. This one room living has me thinking about outhouses and I am happy to have a bathroom. :) It's almost like living in a hotel room, but it's kind of refreshing not to have to be concerned with all the junk in the other rooms. And junk won't be going back in when the floors are done!
I'm making progress on my hoodie! I don't have the camera right now, but I'll try to post a picture tomorrow. I have both sleeves set in and one side half seamed. There is knitting to finish on the hood, then I'm on to the band. Unfortunately, it looks like this sweater may fit my daughter better then it fits me. But I'll still be able to fit into it. At least one of us will get to wear it.
I'm trying to decide what knitting to take to the robotics tournament. The sweater is a bit too big to be dragging around. I'm debating between the following choices:
dishcloths (to count toward my goal of knitting one Christmas gift each month)
hats (to count toward my goal of knitting 50 charity hats and designing my own pattern)
a Red Scarf (wouldn't count toward my goals at all, but it's for a great cause)
I may just throw one of each into my backpack. So many choices!
I hope you all have a terrific weekend. Stay warm if you are in a cold spot!
I know how you feel! We've been remodeling "This Old House" for 10 years now and we still live like that when something big needs to be done. And, as for not putting it all back in when you're done? Yup, I do that too. And now that my kids are all grown up and moved out I have very little mess to clean up at the end of a day.
I say take all the knitting then you won't sit there knitting on one thing wishing you were really knitting on the other. :o)

Good luck at the robotics tournament. Last year was the first year our school participated in the SC tournament. The kids had a ball.
I know you'll quickly forget about the living arrangments once your floors are done.

Every time I debate a remodel I think about how much stuff I'll have to move and the whole project gets shuffled to the back burner. I have grand plans, but little in the way of motivation. I'll just keep living in my 90's decor and pretend I'm "retro."
Each of the projects you mentioned is small enough that you could take one of each. That'll let you switch things up should the boredom set in. And you'll still have room in the old backpack for some snacks 'n such!
