I got a lot of knitting done on my sweater today. More importantly, I tried on my sleeve and it fits properly. Our Misfits produce continues to provide joy. Today I prepared a delicious pot of curried collard greens which I served with a hardboiled egg and rice. I am celebrating the simple pleasures of […]
Today I really got to wake up and smell the coffee! I walked outside for an hour and even though I wanted to quit, I persevered. Overall, it was a mellow day in these parts. I knit with my local friends for the first time since the quarantine started. Using Google Duo, we were able […]
This morning I cast on another hat. I call them crack hats because I am addicted to making them. They go sooooo fast because I hold three fingering (skinny) yarns together. Lately I have been making them with balls of scraps that were gifted to me by a friend. I plan to send her all […]
I was up early today and had quite a productive start before my usual Saturday morning meeting, held via Zoom. I do love the elimination of the commute time. I worked on my sweater again to the point I could. I’m waiting for feedback from the designer so I’m in slight holding pattern. That’s ok. […]
Today I started and finished another charity hat. Charity knitting has been my bread and butter when I am not sweater knitting. That project has not been going well. I’m not sure if the sweater’s going to fit and that’s discouraging. I’ve invested a lot of hours on it since we started sheltering in place. […]
I never would have thought that I would be so happy to participate in a church service online as I was today. Our local seminarian invited us to his deaconate ordination months ago and I had been looking forward to it wholeheartedly. Garrett has been such a positive presence in our parish and in our […]
That being said, Mason did attempt to prank Bill. He created this QR code which he put over Bill’s mouse tracker. He hoped that when Bill couldn’t make the mouse work, he would flip it over and use a QR reader to see where the code led. Later he moved the QR code to the […]
Today’s adventures included attending Mass at home in our living room and later finishing the L. L. Bean My Hometown puzzle. Last night’s storm was actually a tornado that touched down a few miles from us. We escaped without harm but there was some damage at the scout house. The shed where we keep all […]
During our sheltering in place, the days all blend together. That fact tells me that I rely on commitments and occurrences to help me navigate the week. Thankfully, a meeting I regularly attend on Wednesdays took place so I know it is definitely hump day. Here are some other details to recall: I finished my […]
Every time I find a pair of Bill’s hand knit socks in the laundry, it makes me smile because there is nothing more gratifying than to see someone use an item I have knitted for him. Socks are important to Bill. He likes wool and he likes squishy. Several years ago I bought this black […]
