Getting lots done, just not the things I would have wanted to do for family and friends. Instead, charity yarn makes charity gifts.
Made on 80 pegs of KB fine-gauge Flexee loom. Fold up brim. Flat knit-stitch throughout. Kind of made up the decreases in crown.
The minute the loom was empty I divided it in two and made two 40-peg sock looms. Here’s the Kitchener cast-on (we were watching the Witcher so I called the cast-on the Witchener, hehe).
They will be slipper-socks.
Oh, and just for the curious, here’s the progress on the Diamond Painting. I can’t work at it for very long stretches but I do enjoy it.
So busy trying to make the opposite sock to this one.
Doubt it will be opened on Christmas.๐ข But it’s the love, right? No one spends weeks knitting out of the opposite of love. That results in another kind of sock.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โopposites.โ Use the word โoppositesโ or write about things that are opposites. Have fun!
I have to admit to getting the blues from Facebook and my cloud-sharing memories. Since we moved to Christmas Valley, we have enjoyed the snow.โ๏ธIt flurried on Halloween. We looked the Hallmark Thanksgiving with snow on the proper day. Then there had been my birthday snow. A kindness that didn’t show the birthday that my daughter and partner brought Kali to me. (Wow, four years ago.) And Christmas never disappointed. Hallmark wished they knew Christmas Valley!
Then last year, as if isolation wasn’t enough, the snow was stingy. This year it seemed almost as wrong. But on my birthday I got flurries. ๐
Yesterday, I decided to try my Diamond Painting. My friend sent me a Doctor Who. So I spent the day transferring the gems to the organizers. I had Pandora on the Bing Crosby Christmas music and Audible playing Les Miserables.
My brother heard the Christmas music playing, ‘Let It Snow’ ๐จ๏ธ and decided it was time to put up the trees. Knowing Rosey will be tearing it down as often as gravity demands, it is what it is today. Sorry. I’ll try to take a nighttime picture.
Notice outside? Yep! That is what gave us the energy.
SNOW!
It’s windy now, but another batch of snow is on its way!
Yay!

What is wrong with this picture? No mailboxes on homes in Christmas Valley. Drive (or walk as we used to before the truck) 7miles to the post office.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โtree.โ Use the word โtreeโ or write about a tree. Any kind of tree. Enjoy!
When I saw the prompt I planned a whole different stream. I thought it would be about putting our Christmas trees up, today. But it has been so cold and windy that all I could do was knit under the electric lap blanket.
The other topic was going to be about working on my diamond art projects. I did watch a bunch of YouTube videos about how to get started.
The only way this stream hits the word ‘tree’ can only show up is how our trees are bending towards the east from these horrible cold winds. We have been promised snow. But I beginning to feel deceived.
Once it snows it’ll be warmer. The humidity makes everything better.
This was a few weeks of ago. The trees are naked now. I hope they are still standing tomorrow.
How many of you do the digital reverse or add the digits together?
But I’m pretty happy about my actual age. I feel blessed to have lived this long when others didn’t get to travel with me. And my goal is the next prime number.
And the white dusting on the porch and driveway are making my birthday magical.
