Wednesday WIPs

 

I'm so happy I fought the battle of Riddari and came out on the other side. The light brown adds a lot to the design. It was worth ripping back to make it right. I'm also not working on a section with three colors at the moment so it's been smooth sailing for a change.

One of the handspun socks is finished. It's big and baggy but it's supposed to fit over my regular socks for extra warmth when it's too cold for my Crocs alone. 

I finished attaching the fifth row of Audun and have a pile of squares ready to go for row six.

And....my former co-workers met for lunch on Monday afternoon in Annapolis. We haven't seen each other since before the Pandemic. Several of us, me included, are not too fond of eating in crowded restaurants anymore but we found a place that was practically empty. We talked and laughed and then talked and laughed some more. It was a good time.

One of my them had recently discovered the Diamond Dotz thing so I had to show her the light house that The Mister's been working on. She showed me photos of her portfolio. She keeps her finished projects in a binder and I wish I could show you how many she had. 

She even brought us each a Dotz magnet as a gift and took orders for some really beautiful bookmarks. They are not a particularly crafty bunch so for me to be able to share someone else's excitement over their work made the day even better. 

Finally....I know you've heard of the bridge collapse here in Maryland. I woke up to the alert at 6 am which is just about the time that my new found brother goes over that bridge to work every morning. Thankfully it happened late at night and thankfully there was some warning but still.....what a mess. What a heartbreak for those who lost family members. I watch those cargo ships go by everyday heading up to the Bay Bridge and it never crossed my mind that such a thing was possible. It sure makes you think.
