I’ve been working some in between having fun dinners/afternoons out with Keith and some more library time too. Some of the library time yesterday was just sitting, relaxing, and reading rather than taxing my brain with the genealogy irregularities I’ve been finding.

But walking by the cemetery on my way to and from the library reminds me of why I enjoy finding out more about our families. Keith’s grandfather’s brother and his wife are buried here and we’d never have known that without my research.

Today was laundry day for me … there’s machines in the basement but Keith’s been telling me I shouldn’t go down there. He’s been using them but it was time for me to get some done so I went to a nearby laundromat.

Brings back memories of our first year married.

On the weekend, my job was to go get all the laundry done and he’d stay with the boys and clean the house. I loved the time alone with my book and he liked not having to sit around for a few hours doing nothing!

So while I was waiting for him to get home from pickleball so I could go do the laundry today … I worked on my blanket. I think I’m going to be short a skein of yarn because my starting chain was longer than usual and therefore the blanket is wider. Not a big problem, I already ordered more so I’ll finish this skein and the next and then set it aside until I get home.

After doing the laundry … I sat and knit and Hat #48 is done. That number sounds impressive until you know that that’s the number knit this year … not just this fall.

Pattern is Baker Street beanie and is free and found on the Knots of Love site at this link.

This is the second one I’ve made from this pattern and I’m liking it for chemo patients, I’ll be making more of them.
