The Mister has been beside himself with joy that the little local library down the street has opened up for curbside pickup. They even have a grab bag option that netted him a slew of new-to-him authors. Now I can cancel my Kindle Unlimited account that had been keeping him going for the duration. I spent more time helping him figure out how to use a Kindle than he spent using it for reading.
While he went down to pick up his book order yesterday I was still on the couch with a headache knitting the day away. It's been raining for days so I've got my usual rainy day sinus headache. It's nothing to worry about-not at all jab related. My sore arm feels much better today so the Felici Two at a Timers got their heels turned and rejoined.
Altheda got her first sleeve picked up and started. I was happy that my new 16 inch needle worked perfectly until I realized it wouldn't work for long. I forgot about all those sleeve decreases. I'll have to go to Magic Loop or DBL points soon anyway. Sigh.
I had just finished knitting the collar and had even steeked it when the phone rang for me to dash down and get my jab so Lofoten is still waiting to get that collar sewn down. After that I'll be sewing the sleeves in and then I'm DONE. I won't even attempt any of this until we have a clear sunny day with no headache to slow me down. It's been 4 years since I first cast it on-so it can wait. You can't hurry things like this. At least I can't.

I bought Dennis a kindle a few months ago and just last night loaded a bundle of books on it for him. He can't figure it out either. I think he'll have to wait to see Mandy. She uses hers all of the time so can explain it to him. My kindle is on my iPad and is completely different than his.
ReplyDeleteLove all of the projects but sorry to hear about he headache. They are NO fun at all.
Blessings and gentle hugs,
Betsy
Hope your headache disappears soon. Your projects are ALL lovely. Beautiful knitting.
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorite authors are in the Mister’s pile of books. He’ll enjoy every one of them.
ReplyDeleteI am double pointing my sleeve right now. I always feel like this uber cool knitter when I use double pointed needles. Love your sweaters. Hope the headache goes away.
ReplyDeleteI still have a bit of a headache today...and I am three days in...still tired too! Yes projects will wait:)
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sorry about the headache. I saw someone recently say she didn't do all the decreases on her sleeve because she likes them loose. But This patterning may not allow for that kind of cheating!
ReplyDeleteIt's been drab and drizzly here, too, and headaches abound, unfortunately! The knitting is coming to the final days at last!
