Just going about my morning ablutions today, when, after flushing it, the toilet started gushing water from the tank. I don't know if any of you do this, but when there's a repair calamity around here, I think, "Is there any way I can work around this, so I don't have to call someone in?" That flashed through my mind this morning, but this wasn't something that could wait.
Goodbye $300+.
Other than that, it's been knitting and watching football today. No plans for tonight, except more of the same. Even when my husband was alive, New Year's Eve was a stay-at-home event. We went out on New Year's Eve maybe twice in the 4 years we dated, and the 14 years we were married.
These have been finished for a few days. Remember the Christmas Pickle yarn from a while back? I made myself a cowl with what was left over after the mitts.
Also made one out of two Knit Collage yarns held together. It's huge, as you can see, and very thick. I don't know that it will ever be cold enough here for me to wear it, but I like it.
On the subject of bulky yarn, my newest crazy-for-it pattern is Wee Speedy. In less than one half of football, I made it. All to do now is weave in ends and find The Perfect Adorable Button.
Here's to a knitting-filled, peace of mind and spirit, happy, friends a-plenty 2017!
