Finished the bottom of the DP and now in the basket area.
The sock above is farther along. I think they’re pretty but the work is difficult. Too pretty for yoga socks.
This pair is nearing the heel hole

Pinky slipper socks arching.

I’ve sight read to the ‘O’s. I wasn’t at all impressed with Ode to Billy Joe. Some songs call for guitar not piano.

It is full fall now. It seemed the leaves turned and are falling within a couple of days. We’re back to dripping faucets and heaters. I’m still rebelling with bare feet. My brother and son still wear shorts with heavy jackets to take out the dog.

Thursday


I’m feeling this right now.

One-Liner Wednesday


It takes strength of character to develop characteristics for new characters.

This reminds me of our Sammie. Or is it the other way around? That scrappy feral kitten is looking more and more like Garfield. I’m constantly telling the other guy to show down on the treats. He’ll do it for affection.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “eek/eke.” Use one, use both (for bonus points), use ’em however you see fit. Enjoy!

Eek! My stream is rather a tiny creek, this week. But let’s keep eking it out. Or am I just a geek speaking tongue-in-cheek? Ewe, that reek is not fenugreek!

See you midweek!


Well, I reported the finished projects last week, so today I’ll share new projects and progress of others.

My new flower balloon is grounded. The dark drill eyestrain is done.
The yoga socks on the Hiya-Hiya Flyers are coming along. The more I work with these skinny, sharp needles, the more I like them. I just need my stronger glasses to ensure nice stitches.
My experimental yoga socks will teach me, soon, how to leave out a heel. But will I have enough yarn for the ankle? Playing yarn chicken.
The watermelon socks have progressed to the arch.
The slipper socks are coming along.
I’m sight-reading through this book. I’m about halfway through, song titles starting with “I” as in “I’ll Be There”. This is fun. Some songs surprise me. Eleanor Rigby was fun to sing and play. As I play I’m finding the ones that challenge me while being doable. Then I will systematically print them. Then I can learn them well enough to sing.

Having not found a website to track my November novel, I’ve started to prepare anyway. My friend and I got together today to start finding characters. We’ve done it often this way. In person when we could, but now on Zoom.

We take each characteristic, randomly select a trait, and move on to the next.

It’s always a surprise how quickly the new character becomes nearly flesh and blood. As my first character came through, Ervin Norbert Dorris (the name randomly generated in WriteItNow 6.03c) seems a dirty troll under his homemade bridge with an attitude like Dexter. Well, the antagonist showed up first. That’s different.

My friend found a rather strong pretty punk character I think will be quite fun.

How do you start a book? For us the characters seem to people a world. Hopefully, all that prep gives us a start.

Happy prepping, all my NaNoWriMo friends!

One-Liner Wednesday


What are you all doing for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) now that we don’t have a website to keep track of our progress?

My question is the One-Liner of One-Liner Wednesday.

Sunday Funny (😥)


Our leaves are turning yellow. Plus side: no more flies.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday, Seven


Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “seven.” Use it however you’re inspired to. Have fun!

Seven

Seventh Heaven

Seven bells from coffins that must have felt like seven —-

I’ve been running the prompt in my head all night and most of the day.

Seven dwarfs. That’s when I got stuck. Happy, Dopey, Doc– then I got stuck.  My stream would quit and get distracted.

Finally, I looked it up.

Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, and Sneezy

Hi, ho. I got no more.


Yay! Finished! I need to seal it but I’m starting another balloon diamond painting tomorrow.

I finished a Kindle book, an actual visually read book. I’ll post the review Sunday.

I love socks!

Up to the arches in this pair of Yoga socks.
Ribbing the arch on my watermelon socks.1
Almost to the arch on these slipper socks.
Future scrappy socks. Or should I frog and make yoga slipper socks? I don’t have much of my favorite yarn leftover.
Reawakening an old project. Convertible fingerless glove mittens. They are completely knitted, I just need to sew up the finger bits and attach the mitten part. I sewed one index finger. Nine more to go. Have I mentioned, I don’t like the sewing parts of knitting or crocheting? Ugh. But I feel it’s a good project for a gift or because it’s getting cold.

Look what I found in my piano bench! I’m sight-reading through the book figuring out what songs to concentrate on. Eleanor Rigby I can sing while playing. Most songs are too hard for me to do both.

I’ve skimmed through about a fourth of the book so far.
Up, Up and away!
