BadAss Knitter

I have three hats on needles right now, two I just finished and a pile I haven’t got decent pictures of.
I am trying snow leopard print and it’s going..eh.
Honestly this picture is one of the best taken in years. Much grater and blotchier and more double chin most of the time. Maybe my camera is smudged or dirty or something.
As the old man pointed out this may be the last Monday I get off ever. So, I hope to enjoy it

Funny

I guess a lifetime of equating being good with being quiet and not wanting anything has made me ideal for a coronavirus lockdown. I have knitted a couple dozen hats and things. Napped like it was a full time job.
I don’t have family or friends and I suppose I am glad of it. I am ok by myself. And the greatest compliment I can give my husband is he is just like being alone.

Gloomy

I miss Chloe so

Even with all this other crap I have going on I am missing her.
No creature on earth looked at me the way she did.
I love Fancy and Angus but I miss my girl

Knitting Thoughts

Knitting has been a great hobby for me. It’s quick easy and portable. You can do it anywhere. Of course it seems to drive those closest to me completely insane but I figure that’s going to happen anyway: everything I do is annoying.
I have made it so far through the lockdown with the yarn I had on hand- miles of it Thank God! And all the friends who get me yarn.  I am dreaming of starting the famous colorwork pattern ICEHOUSE and yearn to try something so difficult...I think I can do it if I take my time but I am pretty sure I will need the chart printed out. I have a beige and dark wine combo that would work except the heft of the yarn is thicker in the wine.
Honestly with the way things have gone the last decade or so this is really the only happiness I get. Blame it on isolation and enforced laziness but that’s how I feel.

Anyway I have enjoyed it and it’s kept my hands and mind busy and saved my sanity. And these have helped!

Many Many Things

Well with the coronavacation stretching to 2 months I have done a lot of stuff. Worked in my sewing room so I can actually sew in it. Knitted a LOT. Here some of them are

CoronaVacation

For someone who is a total workaholic who never misses a day this enforced time off is just ridiculous! Ugh!
I will eventually get pics of the hats and kitty sweater I have done.
I was off Wednesday and Thursday and this is the first real day of quarantine.
Boring!

Houndstooth Check

Well you know you’re getting old when you have crooked pics in your blog posts.
I love this pattern though and will do it again
