Everyone is on the mend. Eric and I got a full night’s sleep. Eric is at
about 65%, we are hoping one more lay low day and out the door on Monday to his
program. So needless to say a whole lot of work got done around the house
today, including laundry, shopping, cleaning. Little things like emptying the
dishwasher and filling the recycling bin also got done. These are the things I
tend to ignore when Eric is sick.
It looks like I will need to spin the 5th skein of yarn for Teri's shawl. Some
how when the rows hit in the 350+ stitches per row the skeins just do not go as
far. Since I will be spinning the last of my black alpaca, the shawl might be a
little smaller than expected. I am at row 120 and hope to get to the 140 to 150
range so it will be a nice big and cozy shawl for Teri. So on tomorrows list of
things to do is to card and spin the last skein. Clean and polish the spinning
wheel. Do a through vacuum around the wheel, black alpaca just does not blend
well with crème carpet.
I also plan on trying to re-thread the serger. I made a mistake in thread 3
or 4 and it is just not hooking right. Then it will be off to alter 2 sweat shirts
for Eric. The serger will then be put away and the sewing machine will come out
to finish the sweat shirts and make a few more pillows for Eric's bed. I will
of course hold them until Valentine’s Day so please do not let him in on my
little secret.
Well I have about 15 minutes of cleaning left to do tonight and I hope to
get another full night of sleep under my belt.
