FO Friday 9/25/2020

 I finished this project a month ago and kept forgetting to post about it.



Pattern:  Simplicity Cardigan by Mary Annarella

Yarn:  Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in Seven Seas

Comments:  I am very happy with this cardigan and know I will get a lot of use out of it. Seven Seas is the exclusive color way that Madelinetosh dyed up for West 7th Wool - my LYS. It’s really pretty IRL. Mary’s patterns are so well written. I enjoyed making this sweater.

Book Chat - 9/24/2020

The dash has been dashing along these last few weeks. I had to get a new phone and finally decided to switch from an Android to an iPhone. I’m still not 100% happy about it, but it is nice to sync info between the phone and the iPad. 

I think I may have to upgrade my iPad though. It’s no longer being supported through iOS updates and several apps are no longer useable. For one, Blogger updated its interface and I cannot post on the iPad anymore. (That’s what I don’t like about the Apple cult.) I’m posting on the phone as we speak...

The good thing is - I’m still healthy, alive and kicking. 

The beginning of the Birthday Season passed quietly, but I’ve been trying to celebrate daily. Today, I got a flu shot. What better way to pamper oneself than by doing things to make sure one will be around longer to enjoy life’s gifts? I’ve also been good about working out; so, there’s that. Don’t worry. There’s been a facial and a massage in the last couple of weeks...I’m not renouncing my crown yet.

Yes, I’ve been reading.

The Keeper of Lost Things
by Ruth Hogan Anthony Peardew lost an important keepsake from his fiancĂ©e on the day that she was tragically killed. He has spent the rest of his life rescuing lost things, hoping to reunite them with their owners. It's part love story, part ghost story and full on good. I loved this book. 

Too Much and Never Enough by Mary L. Trump Donald Trump's niece, who is a psychologist, offers her premise regarding the family dynamics in play that shaped (not just DT's but) the personalities and behaviors of the family members. It was interesting.
