Headed for downtown Tatla Lake yesterday 9 ish, first to vote at Tatla Lake school, took all of 2 minutes, then to the clinic to get the stitches removed, that took maybe 5 minutes, then headed over to library (it was closed) sat in car outside and used the WiFi available to download several books I had bought from Amazon. Stockpiling things to read for the times this winter I won't be able to get out to library. Knitting bee today in TL but think I'll skip it, two trips to TL in two days is more than I feel up to.

So instead will work on second sock for D2. About half way down the leg of sock #2. Making subtle changes on second sock, D wanted them not as wild as I usually do.
Will I think have enuff of the purple yarn to make a couple of pair for a friends kidlet. Lotsa purps and pinks.


Frost yesterday morning, hoping it didn't do in the Saskatoon bushes that are just starting to flower. Tatlako was within a half a degree of being the coldest spot in BC yesterday. Typical for this time of year.

Today is baby brother Larry's birthday, have no idea how old he is and he prolly wouldn't tell me if I asked.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LARRY.

Finally got myself to town Dec. 27-28. Prescriptions, haircut, groceries, and most important getting bank Visa problems straightened out. Tried dealing with bank via telephone and both times I connected got someone that wouldn't acknowledge that I was hard of hearing, heavy accents didn't help. Had 7 charges for Play Station almost $1000, since I've never even seen one, wasn't me . Because of all the weird charges they wouldn't activate the new Visa card. A good weather window opened so in I went, took almost an hour getting everything straightened out. Meanwhile when I did get to the grocery store almost filled my buggy with produce and fruit. Had help unloading the car when I got home Thursday 3 ish. Did bring a nasty bout of the local crud home with me, first time in several years that a cold hit me so hard.  One of the first pair of Koigu gloves I did were for me, but last winter I snagged middle finger on a nail on my handrail, brought them up front, cut off da...

Gloves and such

In 2015 I sent Jean Miles in  Edinburgh a surprise pair of the gloves I'd been working on while rereading her blogs, first pix one taken at her place. Second taken while dressed in woolies to go on an recent outing.                       Orangerinos all finished waiting for a dip thru a Eucalan bath.  Current pair started with a base colour of turquoise, leftover Koigu choices are getting a bit thinner but still have enuff to finish this pair. When I first started saving Koigu it could be had for $9 a skein, now  I believe its over $16 US (means almost $21 Canadian, plus crazy post from wherever it comes from). Also have socks on needles, this is one of the last pair ordered (ahem a couple of years ago), no pix yet as I believe they are to be a surprise. For the most part this winter has  been verra mild, right now there isn't any snow, none. According to weather peoples we are due for another blast of arctic a...

 Long time.  Made these for a  lady  in  Banff,  she chose the colours. When I sent a pix she said she didn't like  where and how I'd placed the colours in the patterns. Slowly I replied. Then she said when I knit the next pair to put this colour with another etc, again  slowly (burn underway)  I told her that it didn't work that way.  Wouldn't do another, so she said she'd take them the way they were with a discount.  Honey, to late sold them elsewhere. And I 'm glad I don't take any  money  up front. Fraternal and size 10. Have come really close to making the ugliest Monstersocks, bottom pix are closest so far. Was without the internet from 15 - 29 April, amazing how  much  knitting time that freed up. Did the  3 pair shorties in  that  time frame, mix and match.  All are the same number of rows approx sized 7.5 to 8.5.   Next pair  were to fill an older order. Spring has finally s...
