I knit resolutely on. It was another fine October day, but I had my bath this morning and was still faintly damp of head at walking time.
I think I’ve done
six of my eleven 8-row repeats. That begins to sound a bit better:
I wish I had
discovered the Westknits MKAL earlier in life. This time next year I’ll be
ninety!
I’ve signed up for
Kate Davies’ new serialised book. It’s called Allover, about colour. KD instalments
help to brighten this soon-to-be dismal time of year. As does a Westknits MKAL.
Wordle: four for Ketki,
Alexander, Thomas; five for me and daughter-Rachel; six for Theo. Mark was
today’s champion with three. No entry from Granddaughter-Rachel, but she has answered
the question that troubled us all yesterday. She failed to get VIGOR, you may
remember, despite having the first, second, fourth and fifth letters. She
guessed wrong twice. She tried VISOR and VIZOR. Wordle accepted both, a bit
oddly; but both were wrong.
I had a 4 today. Switched about 3 weeks ago to "hard" setting. Works better for me - keeps me from wasting guesses.
ReplyDeleteYour shawl looks terrific!
I had no idea there were settings! I did it the "hard" way because I thought it made sense!
Deletethis is why I won't do Wordle - I am too old a cat to learn new spellings - it is "vigour" to me so I would have tried "visor" first and then "vizor". Yes, I know American-English is different but I don't think that way! Retreating to wash my paws of it all again.
ReplyDeleteI am so enjoying your progress and photos on your MKAL. Westknits are always so fascinating and beautiful. I didn’t join but you have inspired me to get the pattern and try these lovely stitches.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoy the Wordle discussion. Vigor was awful but I managed it in the end.
Sometimes I think anyone who didn’t become an avid knitter by the time they were twelve has regrets of some kind that they didn’t start sooner. There is so much to learn and so little lifetime to learn it in. Chloe
