Ten on Tuesday . . .
Been quite a blog break here, Chez A. Sorry. My desktop computer bit the dust a few weeks ago and I just now got my old laptop set up while I wait for the new computer to arrive.
Lot's to catch you up on, but for now, how about a quick list?
Today' Ten on Tuesday topic is: 10 Things You Did This Weekend
Alrighty then . . .
A good list!
Here are the socks (it wouldn't let me post them in the list.
I have to say that Hermione's Everyday Socks is a WONDERFUL pattern for hand painted/variegated yarns. You often have to go with plain vanilla with these yarns because you lose the stitch definition with a pattern. But this simple pattern with a couple of offset purl stitches is PERFECT for these types of yarns. As you can see, you see the pattern, and you still see the beauty of the yarn. Win-Win!
And I'll be back soon with, as the late Paul Harvey used to say, The Rest . . . of the Story. :-)

- Finished the Hermione's Everyday Socks (Rav link)
- Cast on for some Glorious Cabled Mitts to match those socks (these and the socks are for my sister-in-law).
- Swept the deck
- Got my hammock cleaned up and set up
- Went for a walk with my cousins in Sweet Woods
- Fell asleep in the chair for two hours (it was all that fresh air :-D)
- Watched some telly - specifically the last two episodes of Season Five of Call The Midwife. Argh!!!! :-( :-( I won't spoil it for you in case you haven't seen it yet, but :-( :-(
- Figured out Audible
- Had a fantastic lunch with my high school friend, R.
- Grilled some chicken that had been frozen in my best marinade. Yum!
