It’s hot – almost too hot to knit comfortably. Today is said to be the worst of it.

 

I got four rounds of legwarmer done – 41 patterned rows to go, plus some stripes and the final single-colour ribbing. Another thing which makes this knitting tedious (besides the small circumference) is that two of the colours are practically indistinguishable. They’re called Blue and Turquoise which makes them sound a good deal more different than they are. The rare rows of lime green come like a drink of cool water.

Wordle: everybody did it in three today, including Thomas who has rejoined the party, and including Rachel in London. My first starter word gave me three browns. My second gave me nothing at all, except to eliminate five letters, Then I tackled the anagram, and got the answer. If I’d tackled it earlier, I might have scored two. Lesson for the future, perhaps.

 

Helen came. We got across to the garden and sat about there for a while. She is going to Greece for a family holiday at the end of the week.

 

Here is a picture of my great-grand-kittens. There are four kittens visible. Finding them is like one of those puzzles.
