EEK! Are we all bracing ourselves for whatever will come our way today? I know I am. I have three Zoom calls today (I usually have zero) where I have to talk to people and they will see me. And I have to take Jack back to the vet, because his last hot spot healed weird and now he has two more small ones and ARGH. By now he hates the vet so much that even with two of his happy pills, he fights when I try to make him go through the door. Last time it took me three tries to get him inside. I’d love to have someone helping me, so I could be pulling him and they could be pushing him from behind, but the vet prefers only one person per pet right now. Like I said, ARGH. So to heck with trying to worry about looking “good”, today is a comb my hair and wear sweats kind of day!
If I’m lucky, I will have some knitting time today. I have no FOs to share and actually no new knitting photos, so instead I’ll just share my new yarn.



The Cascade Eco is a dark purple that will become an Oxbow cardigan. I started my swatch last night. The middle is a delightful sock set from Ruby and Roses yarn. And I was finally able to get a copy of 52 Weeks of Socks. When I went to pick it up from Yarn Social, some yarn followed me home. The WYS is the Fairy Lights sparkle colorway, and the purple is Old Rusted Chair squish DK. That one is feeding the stash at this point, though I’m thinking a cowl. I do love cowls.
Hope everyone stays safe today! Happy Friday the 13th!
Hope you have a good day and that the zoom calls and vet go well.
Thank you!
Good luck at the vet! I love that Ruby and Roses sock yarn
Me too–it’s so pretty!!
Happy Friday the 13th! (I’ve always liked this day, though no particular reason why.) I hope everything goes smoothly at the vet. And I love that sock yarn set in the middle! It looks like so much fun!
I’m usually not superstitious at all, but man, in 2020 anything can happen. And yes, that sock set is begging to be knit up!
I guess this year’s universal answer to “why” is “2020”…
It comes in handy once in a while: “Why do you need another glass of wine?” “2020.”
That’s a good one. Speaking of… I need to chill some wine to go with dinner tonight. 😉
You had some great yarn buys! Hope the vet visit and the Zoom calls went well!
Well enough, I guess. I survived both so that’s the important thing!
That is a good thing!
I hope your day turned out okay in the end.
