A May day, at last! I didn’t go out, but I am enjoying it.
What I did was knit my MKAL. I’m getting on fine. It’s a plain-vanilla triangle, I think I said. The increases are on either side of a central 3-stitch strip. I’ve now got upwards of 30 stitches in each half and the rows take longer. I still don’t know where the pattern is — somewhere in Ravelry, clearly. But I’m having no difficulty in producing it every time.
I’ve never been wildly keen on tweed yarn. I wonder if I’ve ever knit with KD’s Milarochy Tweed before? For this purpose, it’s ideal. I’m enjoying the fabric being produced. I continue to be anxious about the thinness of the yarn. It’s going to take me more than the sliver of lifetime I’ve got left, to knit it all. I am knitting hopefully on, as EZ prescribed.
Helen came this morning. We are struggling with the paperwork involved in dropping our present carers in favour of somebody very substantially cheaper. I am a bit anxious.
Wordle: my starters gave me one green vowel and two brown consonants. My line three turned that into three greens. Line four made no change. I was afraid that I was about to go down to a Wordle special. I thought of another qualifying word — not at all likely, I thought, but there was no reason not to try it. It was right. Five for me. Whew!
That gets my new winning streak up to ten.
Rachel had my same three-green configuration and squeaked home with six. Roger had a totally remarkable two. Mark had a splendidly commendable three. Thomas and Alexander and Theo had fours. Ketki was with me on five.
May weather here too, this morning.
ReplyDeleteI think those multi coloured striped shawls we did were Milarrochy tweed, can’t remember the pattern name offhand

I thought I remembered work on a shawl with it.
Deletei found Wordle a bit difficult today, but suddenly had a stroke of genius and got it on the 4th try.
ReplyDeleteI working on Franklin's Emotional Support Chicken KAL. It's an attempt to use up my stash, and it's so silly, it's fun.
I was working on it while waiting in the doctor's office (always a long wait) and everyone in the room wanted one!
Thinking of you as you change carers. Not easy.

Jean, do you suppose you can google the proposed new carer company’s name for reviews? “Substantially cheaper” sounds a little worrisome. Your KD project appears intriguing. Actually saw an Emotional Support Chicken on a plane. They look very cuddly. If you can say that about a chicken. Chloe
ReplyDeleteKnowing how much time and attention Helen devotes to Jeans interests I am confident she will have checked out reviews for any potential replacement.
DeleteI am about to cast on! Curious how my combination of odds and ends in colours I don't really like will turn out :) I already have a recipient in mind who does like those colours, if they don't grow on me.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you get good carers. They're so important.
