I've started another hat for Harry's Hundred, using sock yarn. Casting on, and working the very first rows, this caught my eye:
STOP one color, START the next. Usually the colors sort of flow into one another, right? Nope --- "We're tired of the navy. Start another color immediately."
And might I say (this could easily have gone in yesterday's post) that ribbing with sock yarn on #3 needles is incredibly boring. It was 2 x 2; 1 x 1 would have had me snapping the needles in half. In fact, I didn't even make the ribbing as deep as it was supposed to be, because it was getting very trying.
This is my life. I have been in this house for five straight days, because there has been no energy or reason to go out.
Today, I dragged myself to the shower, put on make-up (!) and headed out before there was time to think twice about it. And my car wouldn't start.

I wish we lived closer...I could give you a reason to get out of the house. And then pick you up when your car won't start.
I know there are experts on variegated yarns who can tell you when/why/how the colors change, pool, etc. but I don't get it. At all. But at least it's a hat and not a sweater - it won't last as long as it could, right?
I think the only advantage I have over you in your situation is that I don't drive. So once I can actually get myself out of the house, I just start walking. Somewhere, anywhere, doesn't matter. I got myself cleaned up, dressed, out of the house. That's my accomplishment. Some days much more than others ...
Working on Harry's hundred is a very good thing Kim. You are a dear and you deserve an emotional break.
So sorry
