Untangled a skein of yarn and divided into 6 uneven balls.
15+ minutes
By dividing the yarn into uneven amounts I will get different sized stripes for the Insomnia blanket.
There is plenty right now that could cause insomnia.
Widget is getting more comfortable.
Tuna is key.
Lola is in denial..."just keep the treats coming and I will ignore the scary little hair raising beast."
15+ minutes of sitting on the floor with Widget knitting.
She thought the needles were interesting but not as inviting as the edge of my top where it is unraveling a bit or the string from my sweater that I haven't woven into the edge.
The ball of yarn looked more promising but, to be honest, I didn't give her much of an opportunity.
There were also two close encounters with Lola.
I am not sure that Lola even saw Widget the first time. The second time I can't imagine how she didn't see Widget but still no reaction.
As for Widget, a hiss that Lola didn't hear and the whole hair on end arched body posture.
Classic cat.
Having something to do is nice at a party...
Card making? I am just getting started.
Secret Santa socks are all done.
Considering who we all are, I imagine many of us might gather and
work on projects during this open house...
I am taking a break from the sweater and blanket to knit a pair of socks for the person I am a Secret Santa for at work.

I still specialize in bumpy and lumpy yarn.
Hope that never changes.
This will be added to my sweater.
After that it's time to start spinning yarn for my field note blanket again.
The question is, what color for a 2020 stripe on the blanket?
Today was a day of high winds, hawks and murmurations.
I am not really a physical risk taker but sometimes I think it would be amazing to soar in a glider/sailplane.
Maybe.
Current project, crocheting together some panels of crochet made by one of my great grandmothers.
I am going to be making curtains with them by adding woven cotton fabric to the bottom.
I wonder if they will flap in the breeze?
The sweater has been in my work bag more than the basket I use to store it in at home.
A few rows each day during lunch.
Pockets do better if they are reinforced.
This one hides a bleach mark.
Blue enough?
I think so.
Original plan was to be a poncho.
I think it would be better as a blanket.
Okay.
Have to consider where the bright stripes land.
Might need to dye more yarn.
Insomnia knitting.
Sometimes altering the colors makes it seem more true.
I am hoping that I won't be working on this again at 3 AM but I probably will.
Lots of rain today.
