Well... we went to Austin this past weekend for the Texas Woodworking Festival. There weren't as many people there this year, but that was okay. We still had a good time. I noticed that my back didn't hurt as much as it had in past years, so hats off to Alex the Physical Therapist! I am getting help with a hip/glute/back issue.
On the way home, we stopped at a woodworking store and while we were wandering around Jeff shifted some wood and a board fell on my foot. It hurt a lot, and there was swelling. It hurt to walk later. After getting home and icing it, the swelling went down and while it's uncomfortable to walk, it doesn't hurt as much. I had Alex look at it this morning and he said wait a couple of days and see if it gets better. I'm sensitive in one of the areas that would indicate a fracture. I had told Smallest about the accident and she made me promise to get it looked at because I always make her go to the doctor about her issues. So, hopefully not broken, just bruised.
I started having trouble with seeing cross stitch several years ago, and I highly recommend a pair of 0.5x reading glasses. Magical. I could send you some?
You are making good progress! And it's fun to see the flower cross stitch again. It could become a pillow and go live with Mom and Dad for sure.
I did some car knitting and finished the first of four socks that will all be the same. They will be presents for Middle and Smallest. I also swatched for the vest for Smallest. I blocked it when we got home and have started on the ribbing. The week before I ironed the fabric for the quilt. I picked up some extra fabric at our nearby quilt store. Hopefully I can get the cutting done this weekend. Jeff had his computer stuff set up at home for a while, but he's moved it up to Middle's room so perhaps I can keep the sewing machine set up for a while.
I need to unravel your sweater and get started on Version II. I am not putting out a call to Jeff's girls for knit presents this year, so once I finish the vest and the socks I should be able to get busy with Sweaterfest. We'll see!
Here's the ribbing for the vest. Wild and exciting. I think it will go quickly.
