A SWIM?

 This morning I am seriously thinking of taking off to the pool for a swim.

Even though I know the water will be COOL, I really miss being in the water.  And maybe if I just get in the main pool and do some laps, I will keep warmer than if I was doing the Aqua Class.  Which was slower, I never got warm doing the Aqua class. Hence why I stopped going really.

So, I'm probably gunna go mid morning and see how it goes.  I might need to get some goggles so I can see where my lane is.

 

ABOVE: Last night I got 4 more tops knitted for the glasses cases, so later on today I will stitch them onto the fabric cases.

I'm certainly powering through them, getting their tops done.  I can't wait until our longer snap closers arrive, then I can make some larger shoulder bags.  Just big enough for ya phone, card and keys.

Bex showed me a photo of a quilt the other day with little ducks on it.  She reckons I should do a duck table runner next.  Hmmmm.... 

ABOVE: They are cute.  And I'm already thinking of a way to make them 'mine'... as in a bit different.   

ABOVE:  Very quick sketch (I can't draw to save myself!)... it's an idea.  And one I might actually do in a few days.

But for now.... I'm off to start me day.  Go buy some goggles... bla bla bla.

Catch ya later. 

OMG, what was I thinking when I wrote that shit above?

I got outta bed this morning and was like, OH HELL NO!

It was far too cold to even contemplate going swimming in a cold pool in winter!  CRAZY.

I hate being cold ffs!  So, instead of swimming, I took myself off to town and did a big walk up and down Victoria Street.

DESERTED

ABOVE:  There were hardly any people around, so I didn't have to dodge anyone.  It's actually not a very nice place to walk around, town is littered with 'unsavoury people', to put it politely.  A couple of times I actually didn't feel safe.

So I won't be doing that again.

ABOVE:  I had to walk past Knit World, so popped in, hoping to find some more Cotton Yarn for tops.  

ABOVE:  They did have some, but not a big selection, and not many bright colours, which is what I'd really like to find.

ABOVE:  On my way home, I stopped in and visited Lacy.  She's doing OK.  

I also stopped in at Spotlight and grabbed some more Cotton Yarns.

ABOVE:  Once home I dragged the drying racks from the garage, and stuck them outside.  It might not 'enhance' the look of the street, but MEH.

At least my washing will get dry.

ABOVE: These are the yarns I got today.  They should keep me going, and give me a few more choices for tops.

Now?  I am going to sit on me bum and stitch those 4 tops on their bottoms.

VICKIE:  When I said I wanted to make shoulder bags, I meant exactly what you described.  A small bag big enough for ya phone, cards and keys.  On a strap, over ya shoulder.... across the body or however you want to 'wear' it.

I just finished the 4 Glasses Cases, so on to making more tops I suppose.

Or I could fold up the huge pile of washing?

ABOVE:  Most of it is linen.  Which is easy to fold.  Hmmmm, decisions, decisions.

Any guesses what will get done first?

The washing won.   I love folding linen, and putting it all away in the linen cupboard.  My Mum was exactly the same. 

And we both hated folding clothes.  Mum would pile clothes up on the spare bed until we had to go hunting for something to wear!  lol

I'm probably not quite that bad, but Stew has been known to go hunting for undies now and then.  Whoops.

I spent the evening watching TV and knitting tops for the cases.  I've got 5 more to stitch on tomorrow now.  Each top takes me about 45 minutes to knit, so no mean feat getting 5 done tonight.  My index fingers are munted.  So sore.  I will be giving them a rest tomorrow from knitting.

And talking of rest, it's almost 11 pm, so time to sign off and go to bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.
