And Monday is socking it to me this week. It is cold and gray and rainy, and I found out some news at work that was a little disheartening and so I am wandering around my house in a hoodie with the hood pulled up because it is somehow mildly comforting. We all thought, Oh yay, 2021 will be better! Oh yay, the vaccine is coming! Oh yay this or that! Well, guess what. Things still mostly suck, except I have less dread every time I log into Twitter each morning.
I’ve had some time on conference calls where I’m not doing much, so my bright, fun sock is growing nicely. But mostly I’ve been working on my We Belong Together shawl and I think I will finish that in the next couple of days. Oh, and I took a short break last night for this little project.
Duncan went outside with the sweater on, and came inside without a sweater. I found it outside, damp and muddy, by the broken gate where they like to go in and out under the deck. It snagged on something, clearly. I have mended the hole and it is not pretty if you look up close but it is no longer a hole at least. I didn’t want to take a picture because my mending skills are less than stellar. Thankfully, the dogs won’t care at all.
I hope it is at least sunny where you are today!

Wow – those are super bright cheerful socks!
It is a little disappointing, though not that surprising, that things have mostly continued on as they were. Hopefully things will improve soon, though!
Yes, maybe I should just knit only on bright, colorful things for a while!
That’s a good idea!
That sock is amazing! And I give you lots of credit for mending, even if it was less than stellar. My mending just sits in a pile for eons shaming me. Hopefully things will start looking up soon.
It’s probably just because it was for the dogs– I tend to spoil them quite a bit! 🙂
I love those bright, cheery socks.
Me too! I need to finish them so I can wear them and have happy feet!
It’s late and took me a minute to realise Duncan is your dog and not your son…looked like a jumper with a balaclava attached with mouth and eye holes. Time for bed for me 😂
HAHA!! Yes, perhaps I should have made that more clear!
…things still mostly suck!” I’m dying!!
You should take a photo of your mending. I find seeing people work helps me tremendously. Really!! If all I had to look at were the perfect skills, I may never feel confident enough to try it.
Yes, but then you get the “helpful” people who are like “oh, you should have done it like this” and bah, who needs that! I’ll ponder it. 🙂
You are funny. We need more Bonny and less bah!
At least the socks are fun? I keep trying to remind myself that we knew it would get worse before it got better, but I am really ready for it to get better now. Patience was never my strongest suit…
Not mine either! At least I have hope that it WILL get better!
Yes! It will get better! I just hope my patience can last that long…
