And just like that, two months pass by without blogging. It would seem like staying home for a couple months would mean I would have plenty of spare time. It. Does. Not. Working from home, while trying to help two kids navigate e-learning is more complicated than it sounds. And my sweetie (who worked the whole time normally, except for a short two week furlough) seems to think that working from home means I don't actually have to work and have plenty of time to clean. Seriously? Flexible work hours doesn't translate to not working. Sigh. Eye roll.
I did get quite a bit of knitting done, especially in the evenings when I would otherwise be chauffering children to Scouts, sports or other fun activities. Two hats ready for St. Baldericks. (Assuming they have their fundraiser this fall. I can't even predict next week.) A baby blanket half-finished.
And, for me, a shawl nearly finished. clapotis. I started the decrease rows last night. After that, I have to drop all those stitches. Intentionally. That just goes against the grain for a knitter, but that IS the design. The silk bamboo feels dreamy, but the overall shawl is a bit heavier than I expected. Maybe it won't feel like that when draped around my shoulders, but on my lap, it weighs pounds.
Today, it is all about the weight.
