These are the baby mitts I worked on on Sunday. I did it by holding two strands of fingering yarn together to get an approximate worsted. I find it interesting that the orangish color is the same in both pairs but looks so different depending on what the other color is. I'll make more of these on Sunday in different colors. I started on the teapot cosy. It seems to be going well but I feel like it will be small. I'm going to measure it later. The cosy is made in two parts then sewn together, I'm doing them at the same time with one end from the middle and one from the outside. So the plan is: finish the cosy, make some flowers (possibly lots) and finish the cupcake.
Today I actually caught a girl, who usually isn't at the bus stop, throw a rock at someone else. Those rocks are just too tempting. I took a short walk and made sure to stretch afterwards. I didn't stretch on Wednesday and that was part of the reason it hurt. To add to today's excitement Mooky feel asleep on the bus and didn't get off at his stop. I wasn't worried because I figured he was on the bus and just forgot to get off. If Transportation had told me he wasn't on the bus then I would have worried.
I wanted to talk about the two walks I took on purpose this week. When I used to walk all the time, and did about a mile a day, I loved it. I liked looking at the birds and seeing if I could find the white squirrel that day. It got cold and I stopped walking. When the weather warmed up again and I started walking again I had dog problems so I stopped again. I have been keeping an eye out all summer to see if that dog was there and I didn't see it so I decided to try again. The first walk I took on Monday wasn't actually fun and that was sad. I felt like I had to keep looking over my shoulder to see if a dog was going to jump out at me. The walk I took today was better. I was a little fired up from having to break up the "fight" so I was walking quicker. I didn't feel so stressed but I wasn't enjoying it as much as I did before. I hope this bodes well and the next time I walk it will be even better.
I caught up on all my podcasts for the week. I don't remember anything especially memorable just the felling of crafting with someone. I like Yarnivore but I'm not getting into it as much as I was expecting. I think it may be that I have so many already I'm a little burnt out by the time I get to it. Time for a little kdrama break.
Other than our adventure today things seem to be going well. Tomorrow we are going to my husband's home town for a parade and a carnival, assuming it doesn't rain. Because of this I really don't think I'll blog tomorrow so I'll see you on Monday.
