Yet another great-granddaughter:

 (I hope I’ve got the right baby.)

 

And yet another Caesarian – in this case because Lucy seemed to have developed an infection in the days just before giving birth. Both she and the baby (Flora Rachel) are on antibiotics and will stay in hospital for a few days. They have gone private, and will not be ejected as unceremoniously as Becca and Ella were after their Caesarian birth a few days ago.

 

I set out to walk alone today, but met a friend who was just setting forth with her dog, so I had pleasant company. 2469 steps.

 

I’ve been knitting happily. Here’s my Pairfect sock:

 

I don’t think there will be anything more in the way of pattern. The hope is that the foot will be long enough to reach the final green section for the toe, but even Arne and Carlos can’t guarantee that. Jenny, the MustStache system you mention – two balls that begin at the same point in the sequence – would accomplish the same thing, in some ways more efficiently. Choice would be restored as to the amount of ribbing. Here’s the link. They live in Texas.

 

I’ve resisted the temptation to invest in a Coofle kit. Socks it will be, for cruise knitting. I have 100 grams of one of Kaffe’s colourways in my sock bag – will even that be enough, at the rate I’m going at the moment? Perhaps I’d better throw in something else.

 

My Amazon package is now promised between 6 and 9 this evening.
