Son stopped in Barnes and Noble to get me a cross stitch pattern magazine. Love it. Might finish the sweater instead of driving it. Still kind of like it. No decision yet.

Good morning all from a cloudy Norfolk and still got that cold wind, only 4C so far today. Ironing on the agenda this morning as dinner just needs reheating. That will be my big chore for the day so knitting this afternoon. Finished the second front so will start on a sleeve. Have a good day if you can even though it's Monday. xx

Good morning from Port Hope Ontario Canada. It is 6:16 am EDT and 0'C (32'F) going up to 10'C (50'F) with sunshine.
Brioche class on Saturday was good. Lots of laughs and concentration. One lady was taking it for the second time. As soon as we finished, another asked when the advanced class would be held. They all wanted to do shawls with brioche. For most of those patterns, they already have the skills. After the class we drove quickly to the farm to pick up more bird seed because the squirrels have eaten everything. We took in a few of the bird feeders that the squirrels won't leave alone. Although the grackles are almost as bad as they pick through the seed to find the ones that they want (makes me think they're not that hungrey)
So Sunday was catch up for all the chores. Mum went to her sister's for the weekend, unfortunately my aunt's 1 bedroom apartment isn't really set up for company, so mum ended up sleeping on couch cushions on the floor. It was good to catch up with her sister and brother.
I figured out that I didn't have enough yarn to complete another pair of socks for DD, even shorties, so I frogged everything and gave her the yarn. She'll add it another project.

I started picking up stitches with the 2 cables that I have. I just need a 3rd. It's in progress.
I really want to do more large projects but I'm not good at finishing them.
Tonight is cottage roll ham, and tomorrow is leftover meatloaf from the weekend. The fridges are stuffed at the moment from bi-weekly shopping but it won't take long for that to change.
Monday, my least favourite day of the week.
Good luck with your knitting.

I haven't purchased a knitting magazine for a long time. Enjoy.

Good morning from a 41F and clear Shoreline area. Once again no plans for the day so will see what comes along and get on with my knitting and/or crocheting at some point. As always, I hope you all are staying safe and well and having as good a day as you can. xxxooo
I hope you had a good unplanned day.

My alarm has gone off. Time to pack and "generate workplace culture" at work.
Everyone have as good a day as you can and stay safe and well, or feel better soon.

I’ve been to s and b and I was bored rigid. I’m glad to come home. They have swapped our little table round and I don’t like change…..I think I’m OTT. I wish folk wouldn’t think for me…..I manage on my own Thankyou….. that’s me for today. I came out because someone was prying into my business and what I say and do has nothing to do with this woman. She’s the biggest gossip out. I am so cross. ❌
It’s a very miserable day weather wise. We are starting to get a fog again, and it o cold. Lisa I’m thinking about you….and jinx…sending you love ❤️. Love yawl stay safe . Xx

Sorry ladies. I have been AWOL again.
Alan has had his operation. They were hoping just to remove the gallstones, but there were more and bigger ones than expected, plus an infection. He had had to wait too long for the op. He now has four bullet holes ( keyhole surgery) including one huge one through which everything including a 1" stone was removed. He was sent home after a few hours, and was violently sick on the way home, from the anaesthetic.
Following all of which he will not stop and let himself heal. He's driving me mad.
I'll catch up now.
