Really, I’m more excited about actually finishing my laundry today. Oh. I still have a couple dishes in the sink. You’ll hear my Ta-Da before I go to bed.

My hands are tired. But the heels are turned. Just the leg and cuff left to do. Yay!
Then again, I did a bit of that, too.
I’d love to say I’d hit more piano than one song, but I still feel happy that I did what I did. Trying to keep it fun so I want to go back.
We just hit our 20th year married, 30 together. That should be considered an accomplishment! Still in love and laugh a lot!
Just a picture of the pairs with the most progress.
There’s a couple more I’m working on but it’s late and I still have Duolingo to do before midnight.
Happy weekend!
Two pairs are nearly finished. I would guess this greyish brown pair will be done tomorrow. Yay!
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:
Well, at least I’m staying out of trouble. ๐

Since starting the Jotting for January a few of my own regular features seem to have become phantoms. I can feel them calling me like a phantom limb. Besides a couple reviews behind, I feel I need to catch us up on things I’m working on. Yes, I said ‘us.’ That is how I keep myself aware of what I’ve been up to lately. It helps me realize I’m not sitting and navel gazing. Things are getting done!
I’ve shared my two pairs of circular needle socks. But there are other projects getting attention. Just not as much.
โฐ
I shared my method of keeping the cable uncurled with friends today. And I can share the progress since my full frog of yesterday.
Lastly, Diamond Painting continues. Nearly finished with the dragon.
I’ll try to get my reviews done sometime this weekend.
Your prompt for #JusJoJan the 14th and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: โonce upon a time.โ Start your post with โOnce upon a time,โ then write whatever comes to you, whether it be fact or fiction. Have fun!
So, here we go…
Once upon a time, when people were kind, there was a bully. But kindness and blah, blah, blah.
What my stream is taking me to my knitting. I didn’t get to do my Finishing Friday. And my knitting is calling loudly, almost like a bully.
So
My newest try (just frogged again within the hour). These on my second set of Knitters’ Pride Royale Circular Needles, size 8, 45″ cord. I found my cast-on too long at 20. So I’ll start the next pair with Judy’s Magic Cast-on. Let’s try 16. Then the toe won’t look so boxy.
Just a quick review of the Knitters’Pride cords. They are so tightly coiled they are hard to work with. After research, I learned to steam or heat the cords. That helped the coiling, but they are not nearly as flexible as the ChiaoGoo red-lace circulars. But maybe with a little practice I’ll get used to them.
Other knitting and loom knitting projects are coming along. They just aren’t the extreme challenge as the Tu2AAT socks.
And the dragon is coming along.
Okay, back to the tiny bras!
