Peppers and onions ready for roasting- 

these colors get me every time.

 

Day 37 of 2022

I just started listening to a new book today. 

I heard a word I had never heard before so, of course, I looked it up. 

I always do. 

I especially like to listen to how it is pronounced. 

Do you do this?

 

Day 36 of 2022

Sock update. 

I have finished the cuff portion of my first sock. 

I have decided to split my yarn into two parts

 in order to begin work on the second sock before finishing the first one. 

I saw this done on Instagram by someone 

whose name I cannot remember at this time. 

I will update this post as soon as I figure it out. 

The way I interpret the idea is that after each section is done on one sock, 

you do that same section on the other. 

This way when you finish one sock, the other is almost finished as well 

thus avoiding the dreaded Second Sock Syndrome. 

Also I think it will help me with figuring out

 if I have done the second sock the same as the first sock

 as measuring progress at the same point on each sock

 will be more evident before heading into another portion. 

With all that said, I have started the second cuff 

and will move on to heel flaps after that. 

More updates to come.

 

Day 35 of 2022

I enjoyed an afternoon of hand sewing. 

At this point the light was just right.

 

Day 34 of 2022

I think it's a quilty thing but when I saw these cores

 from spiralizing carrots for salads tonight, 

I saw empty large spools of Aurifil thread. 

Who's with me on this?

 

Day 33 of 2022

Our rain turned to sleet and finally to snow. 

It has stopped for now but will resume around 4:00 in the morning 

and continue until early Friday. 

We have been promised 8 to 12 inches of snow. 

I should be able to tell how we are doing based on the deck railing

 on the right in the picture.

 

Day 32 of 2022

Yarn dreams. 

Possibly a future sweater. I just have to figure out yardage. 

I'm a little short. 

My options are find a coordinating yarn to fill in somehow 

or see if I can make the proposed sweater short-sleeved. 

I'm leaning toward more yarn, of course, 

but it may have to wait until next week. 

We are expecting lots of snow in the next couple of days.
