Staycation Day 9

This is the end of the staycation days. Well, for this stint anyway. 
I have got a lot done and, for the most part, it has been relaxing. I’m pretty sure that the puppies will miss me tomorrow; I know that I’ll miss them. 

Today I went with my heart and worked on my Lolo Sweet Spot strip.
Lauren dyes her skeins what I call “not solid” in that the dyed sections do not have distinct demarcation lines and are not entirely through the depth of the skein. 

This makes the patterning in the Sweet Spot slightly more ... interpretive shall we say. The lines of colour are sometimes broken, but I trust my tension and it hasn’t let me down.



I have worked out a near Fibonacci sequence for the 4 colours that I have chosen. It couldn’t be an exact sequence as I am working with a set 560 rows, but I came pretty close with 59, 96, 155, 250. I think it will be close enough for government work when all is knit and done. 
I started with Tin Roof Rusted and am now on Mustards Last Stand. I have thoroughly enjoyed my knitting today - it’s reached my soul and has been healing. 
I really do wish that knitting paid enough for me to stay at home and pursue that. 
Alas, I will console myself by heading back to a job that I do enjoy and find fulfillment in doing well, knitting as I can make time. 

I’ve been bingeing on CSI NY and the 6:22 episode that I’m watching is très Rear Window - one of my fave Hitchcock movies!! I’m going to finish this episode and a bit more knitting before calling it a night.
