Finishing

Today is just for me to be chill, relax with the puppies and be healthily selfish. I'm marathoning Shameless and eating whatever I crave. 

I'm finally getting to blocking my finished Building Blocks shawl!! It's totally Soakworthy  And I'm blocking it in half since it's massive!! 

 

It'll be fantastic for the impending winter about to descend upon us. And just my luck, I signed up to work, got on the list AND my snow tires got put off from last Monday to the day after the first storm is forecast. 

 

I am also blocking Sorrento  I know, it kind of got stalled whilst Building Blocks was in the needles, but I'm making up for lost time now!  

The beach blanket is doing little to chase the grey chill that is outside, but that's what electric fireplaces are for. Though if you ask the puppies, I turn it in for them. LOL!! 

This is why I almost never use bleach.

 But the counter tops and the dish cloth needed hard core cleaning ... fortunately, it's an at-home comfy shirt. Still, annoyed. 

Now you're pretty much caught up ... I'm off to eat ... beans and egg on garlic bread with cheese toast. I know!!! It's what I craved and it is going to be delish!! 

 

Almost!!

I was trying so hard to get the Mock Cape done for the Knitters Fair, (just for convenience of drop off, not as a display) but alas, not quite.
I love the smell of wet wool; maybe that's a contributing factor to my passion for finishing.



I still need much sleep, and the knitting/finishing will wait; recovery needs immediate attention.

The puppies are good; they don't trample or lay on blocking pieces. They have been wonderful while I've been diligently knitting.


I love watching Chica stalk Petey.





He's completely oblivious, and she is so intent!! If laughter is the best medicine, these two are champion dispensers!

It was a good mail day yesterday. I haven't signed up for a club in a long while, but the GnomeAcres Randomini Club whispered it's sweet fibre love words to me. I am not disappointed.





The colours are a delight, and the yarn is squishy and soft. I'm not certain what I will be doing with these lovelies yet, but they enchant me and you can't rush inspiration.
I'll definitely get the next shipment, then give it some thought. For what I'm paying, I can get an full skein to make a pair of socks. The club offers variety, but roughly 1/2 the yardage.
