Everything about today has been happening late, from waking up, to dinner. Which is to say, it’s the girls’ bedtime and we’ve still not had dinner. We opted to order a takeaway and our timing was crap… so it goes. But as it’s Friday, it’s fine if they’re up a bit late as a special treat or whatever. Still, we’re… Read more »
Let’s see, what did I do today: Got all the work caught up. Took care of childling, singular. Baked more cinnamon rolls. Some of the knitting. Getting childlings (plural) into bed before eight, le gasp. In short, I’m feeling fairly productive. Or at least, like I have been. I’ve slammed into the slug wall, and am taking advantage of having… Read more »
Well, I’m apparently off to a flying start on this blanket. It’s cheerfully mindless, only requiring me to think on the first stitch and a half of a row to make the increase. Well, and to change colours at the right point. I’ve got it going for 20 rows at current, which… it might be a bit fat, but I’m… Read more »
The day is getting away from me in a major way. It started overnight, with a super restless night of ‘sleep’. I didn’t make anything of it, because Z was just as bad. If anything, I woke up a bit before him, but we stayed in bed and cuddled (which was bliss). Less blissful was getting downstairs and realising I’d… Read more »
I don’t really have anything to say today, so have a picture of one of our cats, Poison. She tends to live on the back of one couch or another, surveying all that she rules. Yes, I feel she is the true ruler of the house, ha ha. And that’s fine — I love our little old lady. She’s very… Read more »
Last night, Z sent me a link to something he was thinking of buying. I said yes, and that’s why we have a freaking display rack of 200 Chupa Chups in the house. I mean, come on, what could be cooler? And he did the math and it comes in at about 12 pence a lolly, so it’s good value… Read more »
Today’s picture comes compliments of actually going outdoors, ha ha. The kids were over visiting their grandparents, so Z and I took the tape measure outside to get a loose idea of what we’re working with in regards to the near future refurbishments. Our base plan involves taking down a dangerous old wall and replacing it with a fence, but… Read more »
Z and I do the vast majority of our grocery shopping online for delivery. We tend to start in the discount section, which means that we get some things we’d probably not get otherwise. One of mine this most recent shop was cinnamon rolls, which nobody regrets. We all had one as a post-dinner treat and were well received. It… Read more »
I can confirm that the first top I blocked took on the extra inches. It would be nice if it was even a bit longer, but it does the job of happily covering my squishy tum-tum. I was also able to put a little more give into the neckline, which I made the mistake of not doing as a stretchy… Read more »
Like many knitters, I am a reluctant blocker. I knitted a lot of tops last year and while I’ve worn some of them successfully, several of them definitely needed the blocking treatment. For instance, this green top? In spite of making it to measure, it somehow rucked up to a super short 16 inches. There was no freaking way that… Read more »
