This is the charity knitting from a week or so ago.  It's the leftovers from the Hawkeye hat. I'm in the process of making am all black set.  I haven't been doing much knitting or crocheting for almost a week  now.  I really need to get back to it.  Maybe that's why I don't feel well. I don't know how much I'll do in the next few days because I'll be busy.  The one thing I'm looking for patterns for are some longer fingerless gloves or mittens.  I had some store bought gloves but I don't know where they went.  I've been using my fingerless mitts since I'm usually just going from the house to the car but they are short.  I want something longer so that when my sleeves ride up my wrists aren't cold.  I found a few patterns I like so that will be added to the ever growing list.  I'm going to have to work on something or I'll have nothing to show next time I blog.

I haven't been watching or listening to much either.  I have watched a few videos by a woman who makes Korean food.  She makes everything seem so easy.  I do need a new knife of to get mine sharpened.  There is no way I can cut things like she does with the knife I have.  There is a also a pot (it may be a type of wok) that I want to get.  I do want to get healthier and I think Asian cooking might be the way to go.  I want to try things but my budget is such that I really can't exparment much. Dinner has to work right the first time.  If I do get around to making anything I'll let you know how it goes.

All this thinking about Asian cooking has made me decide I want to collect rice bowls.  I have wanted  rice bowls for a while. I was looking at them on Amazon and got the idea that maybe I could "rescue" some off of Etsy or Ebay.  Yes, I could get a matching set on Amazon or somewhere but I thought it would be fun to get a bunch of different ones like people do with tea cups.  I don't know if I will really do this but I did order two off of Etsy.   They look like they were made for kids and one has a monkey on so I really wanted to get it since my daughter really likes monkeys. I'll try and show you a picture when they come and let you know if I end up with a collection or now.

Outside of getting the car fixed while we were away (that was painfully expensive) I don't think anything else is going on here. The weather is unfun but not unexpeted for this time of year.  Have a good day.
