Knitting & Housework
I’ve gotten quite a bit accomplished on the cowl the past few days in between housework and errands. And I finally got a decent photo showing very close to true colors on the cowl. I had intended to post something yesterday but we were in house cleaning mode and wanted to get as much done…
Daily Spinning
I hadn’t planned to do any spinning today but I’ve been feeling great, no muscle problems to speak of, so I got in another hour of plying today in a couple of thirty minute sessions, and I am well satisfied with the result. I’m almost an inch into the kettle dyed yarn on the cowl…
Plying Away
I finished plying the BFL/Tussah earlier today and decided to start plying two more full bobbins. I’m not sure without looking it up, but I think the purple singles are Polworth. In any case I’ve got a good start on plying them. Photo seems a bit blurry, I’ll do better next time. I am finished…
A Little Progress Is Better Than None
I had hoped to be further along with the purple yarn on the cowl project, but it seems that I strained a muscle in my right arm raising a window that needs some WD-40 to make it easier to open. Oh, well. Such is life. It’s always something! My right bicep is aching after an…
Order Has Returned
The clutter is put away, I have room to work and the top of my desk is clean. I had been in the middle of inventorying my hand-spun yarn when we both started feeling ill and there were still half a dozen bags of yarn on the table I use as a winding station that…
Not A Lot Going On
I’ve finally finished the cranberry red yarn and knitted a few rounds with the purple that I chose. The section I just finished measured 13″, longer than I expected, and I figure the purple will be a similar length or a tad shorter. The whole thing has grown so much I had to grab a…
Happy Hump Day
The promised rain is upon us and it began sprinkling a few minutes ago. Every little bit will help and there is more rain on the way tomorrow. I was going to start a load of laundry but hearing thunder has dissuaded me from that chore. Not going to have appliances running during a thunder…
May Has Arrived
I intended to post something for May 1st and got involved with stuff and forgot. Better late than never. We had a dog show up yesterday evening and it spent the night on our porch. I took a photo and posted it in our area FB group. No help. This morning Brad remembered about the…
Life Has Returned To Normalcy
It’s been five weeks. FIVE weeks since Brad and I have been battling upper respiratory crud. The coughing was the worst of it and I’m glad that is behind us. Today I am actually wearing clothes, not a nightgown. I am wearing my orthotics and shoes, and a pair of denim slacks that were a…
Normal Is Getting Closer!
It’s been a very green, very damp Spring in our little corner of Texas so far. No wonder so many people are having acute allergy symptoms! I’m back on another course of antibiotics and a ninety day course of Rx allergy meds to get this under control. It’s been around 70°, humid and windy here.…
