Slow Progress

No DSL. No camera hook-up and no way to edit pix down to a reasonable size even if I could upload them.

Bleh.

Knitting

The last 8 rows on the foot, then it is on to the toe on Shadow sock. It feels like it is taking forever. The yarn is wound for my STR pair of Grasshoppers which I hope to be able to start tonight. That just leaves me with my Sockapalooza Pal. The yarn is from Lisa Souza who has such lovely yarns and colors. As well as generous yardage. The pattern? Well, I am just about done with it. I am going to test drive it on some of Lisa’s Sock! in Denim, but will knit a lighter color for my pal.

I need some denim coloured socks; this is a two-fer.

The weather is cool, blowy, with spritzes of rain. It could be worse- I am leaving the office before dark.

And listening to Lime & Violet on the way home.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
