Good morning and *waves* hello to the new followers. It is mostly overcast here with some wind. The weather has been somewhat weird lately which has been disrupting my sleep. Today I have a sinus headache that Aleve mostly took care of but I still feel the pressure.
The girls and I almost forgot about garbage day! I heard the first truck and we ran out pushing the bins to the curb. The guy was nice and had slowed down so I could tidy up the position of the bins. Oh boy, I blame it on the weather.
I haven’t worked on this WIP lately but I made some progress two weeks ago when I took my teenager and her friend out for froyo on a Friday:
I am halfway through the eight, intended stripes of Vault 713. I have 233 stitches on the needle. As you can tell, I decided to stick to the pattern.
I felt drawn to the radiating lines of Stephen West’s design and wanted them to carry through the shawl.
I plan to give this WIP some attention today, making me happy as I’ve missed it. What has been grabbing your attention lately?
Okie doke. I am off to heat up some of my mama’s jai (basically known as monk food) and then knit while I listen to Spells and Scones before pick up. Have a good Thursday and thanks for poppin in. TTYS.

That’s really pretty! I would be missing it too. What design is it? I probably missed your blog post when you first started it since I’m so far behind.
Thursdays are our garbage day too 😀 And they come pretty darned early here so I have to get them out on Wednesday night. It’s hard to forget though because I have a neighbor who likes to put their bins out on Wednesday morning for some reason.
I’m working on a crocheted baby blanket right now and haven’t touched my socks. I haven’t gotten a minute of free time to sit down and concentrate on knocking out the heels. Hopefully soon!

The colorway of that yarn is so pretty. And I really like the tan (or kahki, or whatever that neutral) color you’re adding now.

The shawl is lovely but all of your knitting things are…the baby booties are so sweet! I know what you mean about trash trucks…ours come so early we have to put them out the night before. Plus everyone on our street seems to have a different trash company!

So pretty! We’ve forgotten garbage day a time or two and it’s always on the worst possible time. Glad you made it! I’ve actually started using some of my coloring books lately I don’t have a particularly crafty side so it’s fun to play with color.

My mum likes to color as a hobby among reading and some sewing and crochet. I was tempted to get a coloring book but didn’t b/c of my three crafts.

Thanks but I can’t take credit. The owner of Forbidden Fiber Co helped me choose Slytherin House and the two, Ravenclaw House versions. I already had Vault 713 in my stash from 2018.
