I have a few other projects but the progress is even less than these. I’m wondering how summer will affect progress. With walks and biking indoors I’m moving more.

Finally the heels are done on this bamboo yarn pair of socks. The leg and cuff are left. That doesn’t take long. So maybe these will be featured on Finished Friday?
Four miles on the stationary bike and three walked. Woo hoo!!! I’m tired! I hope all this starts paying off somehow.
So many socks in various stages. And one hat.
The cotton is okay, just boring.
It’s getting late so I’ll leave out the yarn toes and needles, etc .
It was a cold rainy day. They say it’s going to be summer soon. I’ll try to be happy about helping the draught situation.
YARN!
My favorite Y-word!
I haven’t used a lot of Ys. I love that letter because I can think of YOU and YOURS. I can be positive with Yes, I can! There are so many more, but I still have to work with my other yarning: CampNaNo. I lowered my goal to 12,500 words on Reflexions. I need to write 400-500 words a day to reach that on the 30th. On to Yarning on YWriter7.
Reviewing this pattern again was fun. I like getting to know a pattern to reinforce my memory, so I don’t need to look at YouTube or patterns. I rate this pattern and this yarn 100! I love it. The above URL takes you to Happee’s Ravelry page. But here are my favorite YouTube tutorials for this sock. These ROCK!
According to the pattern, the following is one of the best ways to bind off.
Roughly speaking, I rarely can make a pair of socks in less than a week. Reasonably speaking, it takes two weeks to a month as I rarely work on one pair at a time. I always have a bunch of projects going on. It helps keep my hands from hurting by changing out sizes and yarns.
I guess I should reflect on my novel Reflexions. Yikes, lots of research and very little actual writing. So I may have to lower my expectations for this month. I may only get only a couple thousand words. But I am still loving the story, so I will do the best I can and continue next month.
Okay, it is getting late. Time to retire and relax. Despite the kookiness, this was
Just finished my socks!
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “antic.” Use it as a word or find a word that contains it. Bonus points if you do both. Enjoy!
Anticipating April and Camp NaNo, I set up an easy goal. 15k for the month. Editing the novel started in November helps me get reacquainted with all the characters and the plot. So I’m counting the contents of each scene I edit. That will give me word count at first. And today’s count impresses me: 3,440! Yay!
Other antics I’ve been up to: more socks!
Meanwhile, I’m improving on my exercises. I graduated bands on one of the leg bits. I can finally do a jumping jack. Not as many as the trainer, but more than the arm lifts I did at first. Isn’t it fun to watch your own body and mind improve? Even at this age (73)! Marvelous! We are made out of the stuff of miracles!
We’re loving Piccard!!!
Don’t expect practice jokes from me. I hate them. But I love all you
Manifesting Monday. I found a pup like I want:
I fell in love with the above pup. Criteria: female, fixed, vaccines, calm but enjoys walks and outings with me. Easily trained, already house trained. Not a fussy eater, but not a kitty litter consumer. Loves being bathed, nails trimmed. Loves being a lap pup. But enjoys alone time. Playful, enjoys toys. Healthy mind, body. Can read the humans. Get along with cats or other dogs. Knows we love her and loves us back. Soft little ears. Cuddles. This or better for the greater good of all of us.
Meanwhile, I finished these:
We just finished Star Trek Discovery. You know you loved it when you’re crying and laughing at the end!
What doesn’t seem to have a finish is what I’m calling Sprinter.
Four heels! I wanted to see if I could math my way from a 40 stitch Cast-on to a 60 stitch Cast-on. Wahoo! It worked!
Double Pointed needles (Knitters’Pride Dreamz) the Cascadi superwashed yarns are very soft. I have the needles pointed to the heels. These four, tinks included, took me all day. But I feel accomplished on this first day of spring.
By the way, this day started out like this:
Progress has been made on other socks over the weekend.
