Project Completed, Project Started

 Yesterday was a better day weather wise. There was one good rain just before lunch and after that the weather settled down. The high got to 24.2C with a humidex of 33C. This morning it was 14C and dropped to 13C. It is sunny and lovely outside.

Lifestyle

I was out grocery shopping early and got what we needed. We were out mid morning to vote and headed to New Minas as I needed 2 skeins of yarn. We got home just before lunch and the heavy shower. 

The Spousal Unit spent the afternoon doing some digging and weed eating. He was tired due to the humidity. He is eager to do some landscaping preparation. Too much time spent inside the last couple of days. 

There were 11 new cases of the virus reported yesterday for a total of 78 cases in the province. One person is in the hospital. I wonder if we will be mandated masks again as the number of active cases under investigation rises.

Sewing

I finished hand sewing the binding on the dog's blanket. It is now done and folded to be wrapped for Christmas.

I am happy it is done. 

I swept the sewing room floor and am now ready to start the cat's quilt. Progress is being made on Christmas presents. 

Knitting

The yarn purchased for the test pattern is a sock yarn that knits up to gauge on 3.25 mm needles. 


I have wanted to knit this colorway and am moving away from self striping yarn. The yarn will make wonderful socks that will show the pattern much better than striping yarn. 

I got a bunch done on the test pattern yesterday.


The second sock got 16 rows done on it. The pattern is showing up not too badly with this yarn.

Today

I am going to do some housework, start on the cat's quilt and knit. It is a stay at home day for us. 

Until the next time...............................................................
