I was knitting away and listening to the audiobook last night when I glanced at the clock at saw that midnight had come and gone. By then I had finished the second front on the Upside Downer and knit back across all three pieces. Now I just have to knit 6 1/2 more inches and that will be finished. That’s good because I need something for Show & Tell at Fort Worden. I knit two rows of black on the faux isle hat before calling it a night and then wondered if I had some navy blue. Thinking navy blue might look better than black on this hat, I went to bed.
It was raining when I got up this morning. By 11:30 it had cleared up despite the 100% chance of rain predicted for that time of day. I had finally waded through new orders and other business stuff and Bill was gone off to do the daily errands. When he took the trash out this morning he saw what he thought was a bear paw print by the small apple tree towards the bottom of the driveway. Yippeeee…
I also worked on my list for Fort Worden in between other stuff. Barbara emailed with questions about a few items. Then I found some navy blue yarn and replaced the two rows of black on the faux isle hat so now I’m happy with that. Wanda and I were chatting on Messenger about the “in the hoop” coffee sleeves. It seems she was as underwhelmed by them as I was. I told her it would be easy to make one on a sewing machine and you wouldn’t waste all the thread for the satin stitch edging. Actually, now that I think about it, I could do the pieces in the hoop right sides together and leave an opening to turn it. Anyway, while I was Googling coffee sleeves I ran across a pattern for this hand knit one. I took a break from what I doing and whipped one out. It is okay but probably not something I would do again.
