Last week when the temperatures reached nearly 60 degrees F I began to wonder if we would have any sort of winter. By the end of the week, things turned much colder. It is 15 degrees this morning and we have a dusting of snow. Honestly, I'd like to have a bit more of the white stuff, but I'll take this.
Today is a state holiday so I am home from work. Not sure what my plans are. It is a me-day. Squeaks has her plans for today. Everyday is a me-day for her.
One of my resolutions for 2020 is to finish some of the many WIPs I have around the house. I'm imposing rules on my knitting. I have to finish a couple shawls before casting on a new one. I got Papillon finished a couple weeks ago. I am happy with the results but the colors are a bit out of my comfort zone. I will probably wear it to work tomorrow with my black slacks and a black top.
The Jimmy Beans shawl is almost done. It will be done when I get through miles and miles of I-cord. The final monthly installment called for picking up stitches all the way around and then doing an I-cord border. It is nearly 800 stitches to perform I-cord on. I'll get there, but it is going slow.
So once this is done, I have to decide what shawl to cast on next. I have Pretty Perfect Square, Plaid Please and Discovery to chose from.
I also have a few sweaters to finish. I dug Sixty Years out of hibernation. I want to finish it but have to locate the pattern. I'll go on a hunt today to find it. Wish me luck!
