A nice spring day. Wordle in three – my two starter words produced four green tiles, and this time I could think of only one letter for the missing slot – it was in the central position – and it turned out to be right. And I thought of it quickly, so that was Wordle done for the day.

 

Then Helen came, and we staggered around the garden and she cut my hair.

 

Amazon says that they will deliver this month’s cider tomorrow! I wasn’t expecting it until the middle of next week. So Easter provides a delicate problem. Will they move the delivery forward a day or two next month? Or back? Perhaps I had better put some aside, just in case. We can skip mother’s day.

 

And I’m nearly finished with the basic knitting of the Baby Surprise. I think you have persuaded me, Sarah, to try it as a pullover (especially since you shared my experience with CATER on Wordle yesterday). That means I will have to brush up my skills in kitchener’ing garter stitch and attaching i-cord (around the neck) but I’ve done both in my time and it shouldn’t be too difficult to re-acquire the skills. It means omitting a few rows of border which would have formed the overlapping flaps for the buttons on whichever side. That in turn means omitting a few (m1, k1, m1)’s which were providing a mitered corner which may prove to have been necessary for the whole thing to lie flat. We shall see.

Be sure to read Kirsten's comment yesterday, about Japanese demons.
