In the not so visible progress I managed to start the next round of a bespoke shawl for me. I am only using “luxury yarn” from my stash. I am 3 full skeins in with skeins 4 and 5 currently being added. So far I have used a merino and silk blend for 2 skeins. One skein of llama. Currently being added are 2 skeins of 100% silk yarn. The center panel is Tunisian Simple Stitch. The first 2 color blocks are a half double crochet. The current round is Tunisian crochet in the round. Honestly it went much faster once the stitches were picked up off the half double crochet round. I am not sure how big it will become. Whether or not, I will add more yarn to the project. Or call it quits once I go through the current skeins that I have picked out. Only time will tell, and of course more crocheting.
I added a couple of more rows to a charity scarf tonight. All progress stopped when the television shows became too interesting.
Of course 30 minutes of house work and organizing required a 2 hour nap. The antibiotics are just zapping my spoon level to the basement. I even sat down to sort the silverware. I have to say it was a little awkward, although everything was put in the proper place.
My new Apple Watch is a bit more jumpy than I expected. Putting away the plates triggered an alarm for loud noise. Excuse me have they ever had a baby crying in their ears nonstop? Smashing a bug that landed on my arm, elicited an alarm for “did you fall? Do you need medical assistance?”. Cleaning and organizing has had multiple alarms for me to sit down immediately and rest. At this point I’m not even sure if I bought a watch or a portable mother hen. I have been using smart watches for a long while. I have never had one this jumpy. Of course my last watch refused to give me the temperature in Fahrenheit, one day it decided all it would do with Celsius no matter what I did. When it started dying I gave up brand loyalty and switched to an Apple Watch. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the watch less jumpy? I would love to hear your thoughts.
