Yesterday we went to the zoo instead of Disney due to the chance of rain. [We will go to Disney on Monday now.] Today was our day to be homebodies. Mom and I have finished cooking, and Dad, Steve and Ben are at a classic car shoe. Joey is asleep. The only sounds I hear are the dishwasher (much quieter than ours) and the sound of Mom putting away dishes.
As I was laying in bed Wednesday night, I listened to the quiet. I never thought of the house I grew up in as being quiet, but apparently it is quieter than ours. Perhaps it is the cement floors rather than wood floors which betray your every step, even when you try to skate in socked feet. Maybe it’s the lack of blustery wind. I don’t know. But it sure seems quiet here.
I must say, I am enjoying it immensely.
I’ve worked through row 57 of my Hemlock Ring Blanket. Out of 87 rows. Only 216 stitches on the needle at the moment. There will be 376 when I get ready to work row 87. So I am not as far along as it might sound.
I may choose to work more rows, simply because I have the yarn, and I don’t like having leftover yarn. Going to row 87 supposedly results in a blanket just shy of 4 feet in diameter. A tad larger might be nice. But I won’t know until I get there.
For now, I am past the complicated part. There are three rows of plain stockinette followed by one row of simple patterning. Great for knitting and socializing, right?
Will the blanket be round? I’m confused. I love the pattern on it–it’s gorgeous!
Glad you’re having a nice visit. I bet Disney will be a blast! Your family isn’t near Delray Beach, are they? I have an aunt and uncle that live in Delray Beach.
Hey, Tana, here’s something for you to do when you get home: Tag! You’re it!
