Here's the slow progress of the current Sock Ministry socks, with the lingerie lingering in the background. The socks, being smaller needles and gauge, are harder on my neck, so it's much easier to pantknit.
Under the socks you see a bit of the blanket I knitted for Handsome Partner long ago, still in use. The cats used to love this one, warm and fuzzy, and I still check for cats when I throw it off, force of habit.
And I found a large bag of carrots in the freezer, also some cooked butternut squash, so I made a pot of soup, enough for about six meals. It's still soup weather. Sprig of curry leaves for extra flavor.
Northern Exposure is still going, and other people seem to be revisiting it, too, holds on it, so I can't renew. A couple of episodes after dinner, with hot chocolate, are just the ticket.
And I was reminded, by an internet friend yesterday, of Bob Newhart's early stand-up, still funny after decades. I found some on YouTube. It's worth checking out. This was long before his TV series, which I think didn't really use his talent.
I have favorite routines, this one, the guard in his first night on the job at the Empire State building, when King Kong climbs it, trying to scare him away with a broom..
Happy day everyone, find something to amuse you today, if possible, stressful times. Cleaners here today, so I'll be out on errands.
