Power went out for 3.5 hours this morning, the kids were sure life was over. I had to assure them we weren’t going to starve to death by making pancakes on the stove, thank God we have natural gas appliances so we could cook & have hot water. They just remembered that there were plenty of things they could do without electricity. Puzzles, games, cars, trains (although there was a bit of panic because some run on batteries & I guess batteries=electricity to kids). And I seriously considered lighting the pilot light on the furnace it was so wet & chilly this morning. I really didn’t think that June gloom would be down right cold this year. I usually don’t mind the marine layer because it’s at least warm even if it is all overcast & foggy. But this is just ridiculous! I do get a few good days of sweater wearing though. Wool is nice.
I find myself in a bit of a knitting/crochet quandry. There is not a whole lot that is motivating me but I am still knitting away. I have the fan & feather shawl (up to 465 or so stitches, row 89 of 189) going and a pair of Pomatomus socks out of some red yarn I dyed a while back.
They are a really fun knit. But as far as any sweaters that I listed I just don’t wanna.
