Day 279 of 2026

Time to change color, but it wasn't wound yet. 

I thought today was the target date for the first stage, 

but it is really tomorrow. 

 

Day 278 of 2026

M and I have set a schedule and have started our knit along. (KAL) 

I have completed more than this but got caught up in a question

 about the row I was working on and didn't figure it out in time

 to get a picture for today. 

My hope is to be able to stick to our schedule

 and have a picture of a much further along sock tomorrow.

 

Day 277 of 2026

A great group of college friends got together tonight 

to watch the Hoosiers play football...

and catch up. 

Many of them traveled far to be here. 

The bond is still strong after so many years.

 

Day 276 of 2026

Happy birthday!

 

Day 275 of 2026

The next installment of my jeans from the 1970s

 is the knee area of the same leg as last time.

The pink plaid is a piece left over from a long skirt

 with a ruffle on the bottom I made in college. 

The solid pink is a knit fabric

 that was used for a project that I can't remember. 

I have the feeling it was also some sort of clothing, 

but I'm not sure.

 The red butterfly is a purchased patch. 

I am going to label these posts as "1970s jeans" so you can find them all quickly in the sidebar.

 

Day 274 of 2026

Finished. 

The Puffy Checks Socks are blocked and ready to be worn. 

I can now get ready for the knit-along with M 

without feeling guilty about starting another pair of socks.

I started posting about these socks in January 

as I was hoping for a pair of Valentine's Day socks, 

hence the vague heart formation for the picture. 

Feel free to go look at all the related posts about these socks 

which are under the label "the puffy checks socks."

 

Day 273 of 2026

GB#3's cross country meet tonight was the last of the season. 

The confetti made it seem like a celebration.
