Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โback of the fridge.โย Write the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the phrase โback of the fridge.โ Enjoy!
Ooh, that looks so nice! All that healthy produce! Ah, but don’t look in the back of the fridge. The light guy, you know, the one who turns on the light when you open the door? Yeah, he’s shy. And for good reason. He is busy with science experiments he doesn’t want us to know about. See that big plant? An escapee. It’s intelligent life from another planet. Light guy kicked him out. It was trying to mate with the rest of the produce.
Yay! My favorite hat yet! And it fits me. That makes it hard to put in the charity bag. Someone will like it to I hope.
This is the leftover yarn.
These are the ChiaoGoo circular needles I used in the last three hats. The upper right is US 7 24 inch. The right is US 8 16 inch. The left is my favorite and made this last hat. US 8 40 inches. When it was time to decrease I could magic circle a couple times to make it easier.
I hope you can read this. I finally found this pattern. It was the one I memorized early on and kept it in the ole noodle. LOL!
I started one more hat. I may be playing yarn chicken. Hope I have enough.
This is more info than I wanted to share as someone who likes bamboo socks will know.๐
Sock on the right HOTL (Hot Off The Loom). The purple yarn is from The Willows a local yarn shop. It is so soft. The white is leftovers from another project. It it thicker but good for toes and heels. The fuzzy yarn of the cuff is from a friend. I’m not sure I’d like it next to my skin but leggings might be nice under. Keep or gift, that is the question. LOL!!!
Van Gogh’s Starry Night with the first image taken by the James Webb telescope by alpgenart
I’d like to add this to my Van Gogh wall.
On another level, I want to learn better ways to fix mistakes in knitting. I tried a lifeline as I remembered doing a long time ago. I spent all day fixing my mistake. For future reference I’m posting the YouTube I should have watched early this morning. Hope it helps others and future me.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โme.โย Find a word that starts with โmeโ or use the word โmeโ as the theme of your post. Have fun!
Message me, I tapped.
Meanwhile, no answer. Nothing is worse than a lack of response. Especially if you are a mom.
We moms have huge imaginations. If there is a worse case scenario we’ve witnessed it in our heads. From that idea comes the litany of emotional repercussions. They hate us. We hurt them unbearably, we’re sure.
Rationale doesn’t hit. We have to work to find it.
Finally, there’s a new message.
Sorry, Mom. I was asleep. Or I was working.
Total relief from meandering worry, and the mess in our heads. Maybe we need to up the meds.
I wish I could say I finished something but, nope. Still I like seeing progress. A couple things are getting close.
Tomorrow I’ll finish Starry Night. So few uncovered symbols (lower left, blues).
The next two hats are nearing the decreasing section.
The scrappy slipper socks are at the cuff stage.
I’m feeling more confident with my HiyaHiya Fliers. Half the cuff of sock number one is done. These are so thin, like wires. This is meant to be a small sock. I only have this one skein so this may be just a first try. I think I shared the YouTube a few days ago. The hard part of watching is the presenter is using continental knitting. It’s been a while since I tried that so I’m having to learn using my right hand against learning as she uses her left hand.
I hate/love following my passion. There are only so many hours a day and somethings get lost in the shuffle. Like recorders and pianos and singing. Like writing and editing. Like other artwork. I miss those pursuits. Like old friends and family. Yet the knitting is calling. I barely put half an hour on the diamond painting. I’m putting in about the same on the treadmill. It’s something! More than I’d get done otherwise.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โhome.โย Use it as a noun, a verb, an adjective, or an adverb. Enjoy!
Homing in on the word of the day makes me realize what a home body I’ve become. My roots grow deep especially these last few years. Sitting and knitting on homespun yarn, making socks and hats helps me ground myself, keep my hands busy, and mind open to whatever meditations that leads to.
What I am not is homemaker. Four adults live here. Four adult clean, cook and keep home. Though sometimes that range is rangey and the deer and the antelope, well, you know.
Working on my series: Haven.
