Saturday Sky

I took this pic around 7:00 PM. Nothing like waiting
till the last minute to take it. It's dark by 7:30.



No update on the socks as I haven't picked them up at all.
Silly me. Not too long ago, I downloaded a pattern for
a cute kid's hat I want to make for a granddaughter. But
want to finish the socks first. Does that mean I won't get
to the hat for quite a while? Guess so.

So, no knitting

Wordless Wednesday

Saturday Sky, etc.

Took this photo this afternoon, it was very humid out.
The sky looked like it may rain sometime today. I don't
think it did though. Rained all day yesterday instead
maybe.



This is the sock I've been working on slowly. Not very far
yet. Using Paton's Kroy Socks yarn in color Winter Eclipse.
On two size 3 circular needles in the 24" length. I don't like
double pointed needles.



We gave blood for the red cross today. They were at Pocono
Raceway. You drive in under the track I think. They set
up in the infield or something. There were several cars
going around the track for practice or something. Although
someone said there was a SUV in among the cars. Odd.
Hubby's cousin was here today, he came in time to go give
blood, but he couldn't donate as he lives with someone who
has hepatitis. But he took pictures and things while we
gave blood. I haven't been able to give it for a while as
my iron has been low but today it was good. I remember the
first time long ago, when I gave blood, I passed out. Then
I discovered if I eat before giving blood, I'm fine.

Hubby cooked hamburgers and sausages for lunch. The hamburgers
were fine, but he undercooked the sausages. Turns out neither
of them liked the sausages as they were Chinese Sausages with
some of kind of sauce. They said they were sweet not hot which
they would prefer. I think I bought two packages for one price
and maybe the Chinese ones were under the first regular package
when I picked them both up thinking they were the same. Oh well.
There are 3 of those yucky sausages in the freezer. Wonder if
they will ever get eaten.

So, I've been knitting

Saturday Sky

Just took this at 5:40 PM. It's been an overcast sky
with a little rain at one point. Seems that blue sky
is now peeping out.



As for knitting, I haven't done a thing. Can't seem to
pick up the needles on those socks and get busy.

Yesterday hubby tried a different type light in my range
hood, which didn't work, and then put in the old bulb while
it was still on, and blew the fuse in the thing. He took it
all apart to put the new fuse in, and then the lights still didn't
work. When he took out the switch assembly to see what was
wrong, he broke one of the switches. One problem after
another. The dumb thing was working fine, and now it's all
in pieces. We went out looking this afternoon and he decided
he might like a microwave range hood. But we decided we needed
to come home and measure. Sure enough, we don't have enough
room for a microwave. So, at this point, no range hood, just
the shell is there. Maybe Monday we can look at regular range
hoods again before or after the church picnic.

Hope you all have a great holiday weekend.

So, no knitting

'A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.'

I took this Saturday Sky picture this afternoon around 4:30 PM.
It is a beautiful day here in the Poconos. Temps in the low
80's. No rain. Great day. Hubby did work on the driveway
patching holes. Can't even drive my car unless hubby drives
it down for me. Silly.



I'm using a pattern from this book by Ann Budd, called 'Knitting
Socks'. I'm using 7 inches an inch with size 3 circulat needles
with Patons Kroy Socks yarn in Winter Eclipse color which is
basically blue.



I'm not very far with this sock yet. Haven't knitted all week,
it was last Saturday when I last picked it up. Yes, I know
it's the only thing on my needles at the moment so no excuse.



Been a tad busy, listening to an audio book, by Robert Ludlum,
reading a book by Dean Koontz, doing crossword puzzles, cleaning
etc. I looked at the small bag of sock yarn and needles, but
didn't pick them up. Oh well.

I'm cooking a slow cooker recipe of a Weight Watchers,
Lasagna Stew. Using gluten free lasagna noodles for
the first time. Hubby can't eat much gluten products.
It was put into the cooker in layers, but I can't quite
see how it will be to get it out of the slow cooker.
I think it will look a mess, but it should taste good
anyway.

By the way, I joined Weight Watchers about 4 1/2 weeks
ago and have lost 12.4 pounds so far. Much more to
go though.

So, no knitting this week
