Groceries & Stuff

 Finally got myself into town for a major grocery order, seems as tho I was out of everything like milk, cheese, eggs, butter, bread, produce, even low on dish soap. Went in Thursday and did a bunch of the necessary running around then got into the grocery store Friday morning. The roads going in weren't to bad but way worse coming home on Friday, took an extra 30 minutes coming home, driving under the limit 85-90 instead of 100 kliks. The Harris girls came and unloaded the car, brought everything into the house. I then put away all perishables straight away and left canned goods, paper products etc. until the next day. Another pair of bluesies are done. Really enjoyed working on them and since I don't follow any pattern can just change colours as I wish. And so I did. Immediately gathered up all the little balls (I used to give away, sorry Christine) started another pair of real Monstersocks.

 Tuff updating my blog when I don't see or talk to hardly anyone for days at a time, not complaining, in these tuff times its just the way it has to be. BUT I'm still spinning and knitting, managing most day to day chores. Current spinning project is using some some small bits I bought some time ago, lots of colours (about my favourite way to spin now days). I'm using my Woolee Winder on my Louet S 90, have a way to go to fill up the bobbin.        Next on my list are socks (of course).  I finished the red  Monstersocks over last weekend and immediately went back to the blue MS, hope to finish second blue MS over this football weekend. Made socks for Miss E, think while I was knitting them her foot grew another size larger so found another small person and gave them to her. Then made another pair (same colours and patterns) for Miss E using a size larger needle and added two more stitches. Pair on the left are the smaller size, did not enjoy making 4 socks in a row the same
