My back has been aching all day. I’ve thrown pretty much everything but the kitchen sink at it, and no relief. I’m probably going to have to hit it with another dose of something codeine just to make sure it doesn’t stop me sleeping tonight. Rude? So rude. But on the other hand, pre-hurting means I didn’t do it any… Read more »

One of our mandatory ‘on holiday’ things is to have an ice cream cone every day. It fits, because our family holidays so far have been seaside-based, and there’s ice cream stands everywhere. We’re not able to get mine and Smaller’s favourite flavour easily (bubble gum), but Z tried and succeeded in finding something a bit different and special for… Read more »

Sock is slowly socking; I’ve been gaming more than anything today, as is only fitting. I am encouraged to try to make good progress on it, if only for the fact that I’m going to have a second ball of the wool I’d earmarked for socks for Smalls, and I think that should be the next pair that I work on….

Shoppinggggg

It’s funny, but by happenstance I’ve been doing more shopping while this quarantine party has been going on. In most cases, it’s been important wardrobe replenishment that just happened to fall at this time. It’s very satisfying to get that sort of stuff sorted, yanno? My wardrobe desires are basic — clothing that covers my bod and is comfortable. Tick,… Read more »

Holiday! Let’s… not move at all! *laughs* Naw like, I’m feeling slightly overwhelmed with not having to do anything for a few weeks… which makes no sense, but heeey, I’m Backwards Girl™® in all things. It’s fine though, really. I’ve had a nice day, just like… realising that I can do ALL THE NOTHING and somehow that was just. Anyways…. Read more »

So, this is the sock as it’s going. I’m also currently re(re-re-re)reading Into the Drowning Deep, and am currently at the part of the book where someone is in a submersible pod in the Challenger Deep… so like, dark and water and stuff. Like, they’re suddenly relevant to each other, and that’s sort of cool and random. I shot a tweet… Read more »

Smaller still loves to sit on me, and you know what? I like it too for the most part. But sometimes that means dabbing into my eye, and trying to use my legs to support her entire weight. Good thing she’s cute, right? *chuckles* It’s been a good day for the most part. I got an Etsy order out before… Read more »

I finished off that second sock last night, and immediately got stuck in to the next pair. I’m hoping that I can turn them around fairly quickly as well, but we’ll see. The games I’m poking at right now require a bit more attention than not, which means that I can’t ‘game’ while knitting in the same way as, say,… Read more »

Barring unforeseen circumstances, it looks like I am going to be finishing this sock/pair of socks tonight. And then, hopefully, casting on for the next one. My bag of sock wool that I bought at the start of last year is starting to look a bit flatter, so woo for that. I might, I’ve not 100% decided, take the ball… Read more »

Distancing

Z arranged for Smaller’s bestie to come around for a ‘socially distanced’ playdate. Which in essence basically meant being outdoors, and eventually giving up hollering about getting them to keep apart. The kids had fun, the adults had fun, and I got a lot of knitting done. I do my best knitting when socialising, so I consider progress a sign… Read more »
