Olly’s are over

Image
 5 am start to Gold Metal hockey game equals 30 rows on 64 stitches, on light blue Hawthorne socks. With a nap later am hoping to come close to finishing this pair. Then back to a scrap pr of monster socks, first sock is close to the heel. Then only two more pair of socks and the Koigu gloves and I’ll be caught up. Then I can start the earthy coloured pair for Cindy. Had two night of pretty cold weather mid -20`so with coldest being -27 C`, cold in either method. I flipped my comforter again and shut bedroom window. Temps above freezing for 5 of next 10 days will again melt the snow. Please leave a comment if you are a reader of my blog. That’s all I got done on Olly sock, will continue adding it to current WIP’s.

From ice to mud in a week

Chipped a tooth meaning I would have to go to town (Williams Lake) to a dentist, emergency appt, now all fixed. But since I hadn’t been to town and grocery stores since mid October, hit both Walmart and SaveOn. Big order, since last trip was in mid October, bought lots of produce and fruit, especially salad fixings, and spinach for both salads and with scrambled eggs for breakfast. Went in Thursday and first thing got a haircut then dealing with TD bank about declined card use, after a couple of hours ended up automatic payments from checking acct.  And card still isn’t working, needless to say I’ll be called emergency number for visa first thing in the morning. Ended up moteling and coming home Friday mid day. Took my knitting in with me but ended up being in bed just after 7:30, slept around the clock till 7 am. Trips to town are getting harder the older I get. Never knit a stitch. Tonight am going to try and stay up to see rerun of opening ceremonies of 26 Olympics. It’s on 8 pm...
