Still awkward and anxious

 

                                                                I have 7 of these traits.

Thank goodness for Reddit, my happy place. Please check it out if you have never been there.

Someone asked me about the Awkward Family Photos watermarked on my last post and what? That's your mother-in-law? Yeah, right. The story is true. School Marm sent in the photo many years ago to AFP who liked it and posted it on their website. They wanted to put it in their first (and only?) book but School Marm said they had too many hoops to jump through and so declined the offer. 

It's a dreary, gloomy, rainy day. Spring has burst forth, as they say. Every day is more green and colorful than the last. It's nice. 

I have been sitting in a comfy chair and knitting. Finished Sweetie's socks and he put them on and kept them on for 2 days and nights. I think he likes them. 


I am still working on the Night Shift shawl. It gets 1 stitch wider every other row, so as it grows each pass takes a little longer. I do get tired of the repetition at times, but sometimes that is what I like most about it. I also like that while there are only two charts, I can change yarn, and the perceived pattern shifts. 


I am worried about Knitting Jean in Edinburgh. She had been missing in action since Thursday.
