I am ready to start the last pattern repeat on this shawl but I still have 1.4 ounces of yarn left. Do I go ahead and finish with 42 saw teeth or do I keep going and try to leave enough to bind off? Honestly I think I’m ready to bind off and just addContinue reading “It’s Time To Decide”

Is It Spring Already?
We’ve been puttering around the house since we got up, not paying attention to the weather outside except to notice the sunshine and breeze blowing. Brad opened the front door a few minutes ago to discover it’s 74° out there! We’ve got the front door and several windows open to air out the house, whichContinue reading “Is It Spring Already?”
A Quiet Monday
We had nowhere to be and stayed at home today. We were able to enjoy having the front door open again. Plenty of fresh air, but not much sunshine. We have a chance of rain, 95% around 2 am and some wind later tonight and again in the afternoon tomorrow. Tuesday is chiropractor day andContinue reading “A Quiet Monday”
Happy Saturday!
Since it’s Saturday and it’s been awhile since we had a breakfast croissant from the coffee shop Brad drove in and picked up our breakfast. It was more of a brunch than a breakfast since we were both slow to get moving this morning. Up and down, cool/warm/cool weather has our joints complaining and we’reContinue reading “Happy Saturday!”
Lazy, Cold Day
It’s in the low 40’s today but feels more like the mid 30’s, damp and overcast. Brad is in his Man Cave, I heard him on the pistol range a little while ago. I’ve got my knitting to work on and Midsomer Murders streaming on Roku. He made us each an afternoon cup of coffeeContinue reading “Lazy, Cold Day”
Busy Friday
I’ve had a full, busy day and got a lot done around the house. It’s coming up to 8 pm and I’m finally getting around to working on my knitting this evening while we watch reruns of Dr. Pol. Brad’s trip to Oak Ridge went well and he was back early in the afternoon. He’sContinue reading “Busy Friday”
Sunshine And Frost
The sun is over the tops of the trees, the frost is sparkling on the grass. It dipped into the mid 20’s during the night and is up to 28° at 8:30 am. We are back to more seasonable January weather with a chance of light rain in the morning and possible rain/snow mix laterContinue reading “Sunshine And Frost”
Wrong Day!
I’ve been pretty busy lately, getting a lot done around the house and making progress with my knitting and spinning, and somehow I lost track of what day of the week it is. I woke up thinking it was Saturday for some reason. Later, while we were having breakfast it came to me why. OurContinue reading “Wrong Day!”
Hello, Sunshine!
On those mornings that I don’t wake up before sunrise it’s nice to open the blinds to see the sun shining brightly. I was on my feet quite a bit yesterday and busy all day so I slept like the proverbial log last night. The mattress is very comfortable, but when I sleep in theContinue reading “Hello, Sunshine!”
Keeping Busy
I’ve got my winding station set up to wind off two skeins of yarn. Brad needs new socks and it takes more than one skein of fingering yarn for his size 13 feet so I am doing contrasting toes, heels and cuffs. I’ll use the lighter yarn on the swift for the main color andContinue reading “Keeping Busy”
