Thus Thursday


Just stopping by to say, hi. The internet is not yet up. The guy didn’t come to reinstall. So Tuesday maybe life will go back to something sort of normal.

No streaming. Just commercial TV. Lots of Rampage, San Andreas, Dr. Oakley.

They finally got our new landline up. Hopefully those who need the number got it. Let me know if I forgot you.

Have a great Thursday!

One-Liner Wednesday


Isn’t it amazing how little honest communication comes out of companies supposedly dedicated to communication? (My husband has been on the phone texts and emails trying to get Internet and answers about when the service person would be here. ALL DAY FOR TWO DAYS! And the job won’t be done until Tuesday!)

Tuesday Tidbits


Somehow I am out of room for a picture. It was of the middle panel of the afghan. It stretched from my toes to my hips. It was to show how much fabric one Yarnspirations Caron Jumbo skein creates. That’s 12 oz./340 g. Or 595 yards. One more skein to finish the middle panel. Then I’ll get the side panels finished.

Another note. I’m ready to go analog. We spent the day getting rid of Hughes Internet. They have been untruthful. We’ve not been able to do Zoom or anything else since we joined them. Half the time, no Internet at all.

Now that we’re back with Century Link we had to get a new phone number. None of it works until Thursday or Friday. Ugh!

I’m so glad we have DVDs. And that I can do most things ever so uncomfortably, on my cell. Just tell my eyes and fat fingers how much we rely on them.

Picture my cartoon self on the floor with the caption ‘I can’t even!’


Per Linda:

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: โ€œtune.โ€ Use it any way youโ€™d like. Enjoy!

Something that has always fascinated me are the tunes we learned in toons.

Enjoy!

Tuesday’s Tidbit


Found on Facebook. Shared because even I need the reminder.


Per Linda:

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: โ€œthe first 3 words of the first full sentence.โ€ Okay, follow me here. This is what I want you to do: 1. Grab the closest book to you when you sit down to write your post. 2. Open it to a random page. 3. Locate the first complete sentence on that page. 4. Use the first three words of that sentence to start your post, then take it from thereโ€“write whatever comes to mind. Thatโ€™s it! Have fun!

Memory is necessary… Duh!

Most of the easy to grab books from my recliner are knitting or crochet ones. Or writing. This book was part of the inspiration for last year’s NaNoWriMo. Pensรฉes, French for Reflexions. The book is dry but there are pearls of wisdom along with some biased thoughts education and reason can overcome.

By the way, the full quote is: Memory is necessary for all the operations of reason. So much better than: To create an airy grid texture, crochet using the TSS into the back bump of the Return Row (see chapter Stitch Bars, picture E, No. 5).

Although, come to think of it: To create an… Leaves lots to a far different blog entry.

End of stream. Duo and crochet are calling.

Making Monday


I am in the middle of so many projects right now that I thought I’d dedicate this one to a want to make. A Fingerknit hat!

I’d also like to make a shawl, poncho, or cape for my witch costume.

I have two pairs of knitted socks nearly finished. And a Tunisian Crocheted afghan is in the works. But I will need a couple more pieces for my costume at my daughter’s costume wedding reception. So I am putting my ideas here so I won’t lose them.

Okay, I guess I should share the pics of what’s been done so far. All this needs to be done by the first week in October.

Remember the Hiya-Hiya Flyer pair of socks? I decided to put them on a long Chiaogoo Red Lace 60″ US 1 needle. I need to finish the foot and then the toe.

These are going to someone with small feet. I’m finding I don’t like doing cuff up socks.
These are Toe-up Two At A Time Sneaker Socks. I’m working on the arch section now.
This is the center section of the Tunisian Crochet Afghan. Notice how this stitch curls. I have to weigh it down with the mouse and the remote. But I like how fabrickie it looks. When I’m done I’ll do an edging to de-curl.

Here is one of the outer panels of the Tunisian Crochet Afghan. It is almost as long as I want it. It’s so long I can’t capture it in a close-up anymore.

Because of the curl, I roll the project up against the curl and store like this.

I know I have a couple other projects but these are the ones I’m trying to concentrate on.


Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โ€œenvelope.โ€ Use itย any way youโ€™d like. Enjoy!


Early in the morning and late in the evening smoke envelopes our Valley. The visibility is about 2 miles. Two fires in Oregon are still blazing. Thankfully they aren’t near us. I feel sorry for those in the vicinity of the Bedrock fire, Eugene, I think, and the Flat fire in Brookings. I hope those citizens are feeling okay.

I wish for my friends there, to be enveloped in love, good health, and hugs.
