Though I wanted to actually write something creative today, I found it rather tough after working on my other projects. Oh, and we are busy watching Moonfall and now Night Sky ( both quite interesting) I’m too tired and distracted.
Here are the experiment hats.
The needle-knitted hat turned out a little too big and the Flexee a little too small. The Flexee colors made it easy to do a two-by-two ribbing. In the needle-knitted hat, I found it easy to find where the purls were and where the knits were, so I did a one-by-one ribbing.
I loved Moonfall. (HBOMAX) My favorite kind of movie!
And I am quite into Night Sky on Amazon Prime.
FINALLY! After many frogs and tinks the needle hat is finished.
The socks are all in the position last seen. I guess my hands needed a hat break.
I’m loving, well, loving hating my treadmill. I know if I keep it up I will make healthy progress.
That’s it for now. Wish I had progress on any writing. But we celebrate what we can.
My condolences to my friends across the pond.
Hope you had a wonderful three-day weekend and celebrated a thoughtful, safe Labor Day, for those here in the states. And for those elsewhere, I hope you had a great few days.
It is Fall here. 94-100 degrees during the day but leaves are littering the porch and driveway proving a huge drop at night. We have hit high 30s (F)! Can you believe it? Really, this time I’m ready to let go of what used to be my favorite season. With no chance to swim and overwhelming flies and moths, bring on the chill!
So what are my latest WIPs? Many will look familiar but believe it or not, much progress has happened.
I’m feeling much better having crackled my back by moving pillows. It quit hurting. The bladder infection seems gone. No more pain. No temp. Here’s what I took besides drinking tons of water.
What are your WIPs? Oh, and
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โstart with why.โย Begin your post with the word โwhy.โ Have fun!
Why? All on it’s own is a good question. But what makes any of us think it’s personal? A better question would be, Why not? Clears it up. So rather than dwell in self pity. We can look at the bigger pictures.
Sure we can learn from our mistakes. But I’ve given up on Karma. That illness or accidents are the results of bad character. Hurricanes and quakes are not the caused by sin.
It’s best to see the problem and work out how to make life better for yourself and others. Then move on. Til the next why.
How many of you crab climb out of the recliner so as not to disturb the dog?
With the shoulder hating me, I am doing less Diamond Painting.
Meanwhile, the hobby that hurts the least is needle knitting. Even loom knitting hurts if I do too much.
I’m experimenting on two knitted hats. The one on the Flexee fine-gauge loom is an inch longer. I’ll need to make the needle hat longer to catch up. But each have the same amount of cast-on and stitches. Well, the Flexee one has two-by-two ribbing on the brim as opposed to one-by-one. Needle knitting is slower for me but I feel good about how it looks. I’m curious to see if they will be comparable in size when done.
I do have a couple pairs of socks in the works but they’re a bit too painful. It is the yarn and pattern I was using before the shoulder thing that is making it hard. If it were a good sock yarn it wouldn’t be so difficult.
I’m feeling better. I haven’t had to take Advil or use ice all day. And I could do 22 minutes on the treadmill. Not very fast for a mile but something, ya know? Lots of shows to catch up on.
Despite shoulder pain I’m managing 5-15 minutes a day.
I think that’s all I have for today. Yeah, typing here on the phone or on the computer hurts. As my friend Willowdot21 told me, ‘nothing last forever.’ I’ll take it! I think it’s getting better. If not there’s a doctor’s appointment in my future.
