Ta-da Tuesday

Finally finished with Sunflowers!

Making Monday

Icy snow hasn’t had much chance to melt since it snowed so beautifully a couple weeks ago. Though pretty, still, the cold is getting old. Even blue skies don’t make it better. I’m fact, clear skies almost guarantee colder than norm temps. It is always warmer here if there’s a cloud cover.

So maybe that is why my mood has gotten less than sweet. My creative writing muses walked out on me. So no writing has happen for a couple days. Not sure what to do about that, or if I should keep the 50k goal or make it a little easier to reach.

One thing I have been doing non-stop has been knitting, tinking, and reknitting rows and rows of these socks. I think I finally have it right.

The heel turned on the top. That’s next on the bottom sock.

The NaNoWriMo stopped all interesting TV watching. Suddenly I noticed I missed a couple weeks of The Walking Dead. Yikes! So today I caught up. I don’t think I have any tears left! Two of my favorites didn’t make it. 😭

I’m almost finished with Sunflowers.

I’m getting back to knitting. Now that I get it, the heel turning, again, I need to practice.

How’s your Monday?

Making Monday

Started Monday with this gorgeous scene.

Hard to see but it was blustery for a while.

Kali still lives playing in the snow. All her footprints from running up and down the steps and driveway. As old and feeble as she seems, some things still seem to make her happy.

We’re currently at 27.

Cold nights ahead

Almost done. Maybe by the weekend?

Flexee fine-gauge loom socks nearly ready for the white heel. Very soft wool.

Double pointed needles. First time. Needed lessons for heel. Got the first part done. Hope I can get over for my lesson tomorrow to finish the heels. Then I’ll probably need help with the toes. I hope to get more of this yarn to make a smaller pair.

Bamboo yarn on CinDWood sock looms. Heading for the leg, then cuff.

My experimental HiyaHiya Fliers sock. These are so thin I can only do a row or two before my hands tire.

Time to get busy. I should have 11,669. And I still need to do Duolingo for the day.

Finishing Friday

Flexee fine-gauge wool socks were farther along. The one on the bottom was that full ball finished. I didn’t like something so I had to tink back to the white part. I’ll have to do that to the top sock, too.

Ready to learn Turn heel.

This is the pattern I’m following in my knitting class. My next step is ‘Turn heel’ on the first sock.

Sock 2 cuff finished. Now on to the leg.

HiyaHiya Fliers sock cuff finished. Now I need to watch the YouTube for the next part.

One bamboo sock nearly to the heel. Sock number 2 nearly there, too. (CinDWood sock looms)

Almost halfway done with the Sunflowers.

I’m learning so much while having a great time. Oh. And here comes NaNoWriMo! First character is nearly formed. Pensées is the working title. Olive Odette Pensées is my first character. The story is starting to form. I can’t wait! Who’s joining me?

Two weeks!
