Last week I mailed my latest Musselburgh hat to Andrew in Manchester, England. He got it on Saturday and seemed quite pleased with it.
Being fine merino wool, I gave him very specific washing instructions. How often does one wash a hat anyway?
Now that I’m back in the habit of knitting while I watch TV, I cast on another Musselburgh. The yarn has been in my stash at least 15 years. It's from the now defunct The Sweet Sheep Yarns in the Tidal Wave colourway.
It’s a 80/20 superwash merino/nylon sock yarn.
I haven’t done any more on the cardinal project but did start the Primrose Cottage Autumn Quaker. I’m using a remnant of fabric I bought years ago at the now defunct Judy’s Stitching Nice in Harlingen TX. It’s 32ct Platinum Belfast linen.
It’s coming along nicely except for all the miscounting and unpicking while at stitching this morning.
Tomorrow I’m heading to Cobourg to begin picking out the style of my new kitchen cupboards. My 42 year-old one are more than ready to be replaced. I don’t have a lot of counter space so we’re looking at putting the microwave oven above the stove and to add a bit to my floor space, I’m going to get a counter-depth fridge. These improvements are long overdue. But finally they’re getting done.
