brand new silva soxes coming off the needles, emerging in my kitchen from my brand new bag!
huge thank youse to pam silva for the partnership, anna gilbert for the beautiful bag, and to dale michels for inspiration on what had been a rather gloomy morning! :)
finished with one window. this was part way:
i got this far and knocked off for a break:
maybe a long break. I still have to do the other window, wash off the stuff i’ve taken into the kitchen to do that to, replace the knitting chair, and sweep whatever i can out the door, before i call it a weekend. so much gnrrr. i could continue on and get the rest of the living room done, but then i would die. just this much took something like three hours.
eta: it took another 2.5, but i got it done. then i knit a sock.
the new heater is very quick and constant. it's only around 50 degrees out, and that's usually the about the norm here for winter, so with the bedroom door closed it keeps the room quite comfortable overnight set on halfway.
and it looks like i have a gas fireplace in the bedroom. i'm not entirely sold on that part, but it's working on me...
this weekend i had planned to clear out the front windows and the knitting chair area, and rehang the crochet panels, but it seems gloomy out and this is not conducive to such activities, which must be done in the sun, don’t you know.
that was 7am, but…is that the sun peeking in now?…
eta: 10am…
to work!
the last day, preparing myself to leave tomorrow. black eyes and collard greens, chicken and rice in the last of my chicken soup, burned to the pan. haven’t heard a peep from the guys yet today. the meadow is completely submerged, but i got the car up to the big house yesterday so, when this snow residue washes away, i should be able to get out tomorrow morning, but this is what i leave behind.
who am i kidding? i’ll never be prepared to leave tomorrow. just saying goodbye to michael and randy this evening tore my heart out. and it’s just until june.
until june…
