Out of Recovery

I’ve recovered the five Blogger posts that WordPress didn’t import when I set this blog up. First I manually deleted every post from Blogger but the five and the exit message. Then I reimported.
There is, therefore, little content left back there.

There’s a Box of Yarn in the Closet

And I don’t remember what’s in it. But does that stop me from buying more? Of course not. Would it stop you?

I took a sick day today for a mid-day doctor’s appointment that had every possibility of being a very long one, but only it only swallowed two hours of my life—including a twelve-block walk for bloodwork—so I went shopping. I visited The Point on Bedford in the Village for the first time. There are some very nice yarns in there. I bought a few.

Plate of Manos Cotton Stria and Fleece Artist Kid Silk 3 Ply The green is Fleece Artist Kid / Silk 3 Ply in Moss. It’s so pretty, it will be a shame to untwist and wind it. The blue and the yellow are Manos Cotton Stria in two of my favorite hues. They’re labeled Navy and Saffron, but the blue as a hint of green to it.

I also picked up a set of Crystal Palace Bamboo #9’s (Am). These are smoother with a slightly sharper point than the hated Clovers.

Pattern illustration This is my progress on the pattern from the last post. When viewed from the side the pattern is distinct, but from the front, it’s pretty much a blue rectangle.

Today’s Mystery: Just how many tissues did J forget to remove from the last load of laundry he did?
