Jeweled Lines is growing..added green, gold-ish, another small section of green and now back to amethyst. The section of Amethyst I'm currently working on is the half way point. This section will be larger than the other sections and then will do a repeat of what's been done so far. Measures 27 inches at the moment. 10 Inches longer than the last photo.
A bit hard to see the newer sections in the first photo, as I stopped last night without being at the end of a row, so I couldn't lay it out very flat...thus the bunching. Tried this sideways view and believe you can see the addition a bit better. My debate as this point is whether to make the Amethyst section solid, or stop half way through and add another section of the turquoise and the amethyst. Thoughts? I was so worried about having enough yarn I added the dark green and gold-ish. Eyeballing it now, I might have been ok with the amount of yarn I had...but you just don't know when you're winging it.
Lark Rise to Candleford. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this series. I'm currently in season 4 and highly recommend it. Robert Timmons (2nd from right Brendan coyle was one of my favorite characters Mr. Bates in Downton Abbey. And Mini (Ruby Bentall 2nd from left was Verity Poldark in the Poldark Series). In my next blog post, believe I'll give some thought to ranking these series I've been watching while not very mobile due to my broken foot. I know this series will be very close to the top, if not the top.
If you watched Call The Midwives you probably recognize Nurse Phyllis (Linda Basset) lower left. I am enjoying her more in this role as Queenie.
I have officially been given the go ahead to say good bye to this Ortho Boot! I've been several days now without it. I drove the other day for the first time in months. The bone itself really won't be totally healed for about 4 more months. I can do pretty well indoors, but am to stay away from walking in yards, and un-even terrain. AND, if I know I'm going to be doing substantial amounts of walking I should put the boot on. Will be continuing with PT for another month twice a week, as we work to build some strength and range of motion. I haven't yet gone for a walk, might try around the block today if hubby has time to go with me. It's a process, but am indeed making headway. Thanks for all the good wishes.
Jeweled Lines continues to grow. I've added a couple more sections since the last photo. Looks like the tape flipped over, but believe at this stage it measured 17 or 19 inches. I will soon be adding a new color. A different shade of green I found that's the same weight and type of yarn. When added that will make the 5th color.
I started this series feeling very optimistic and excited, as it's created by Julian Fellowes, the same Julian Fellowes who created Downton Abbey. I started it, watched I think one episode and have NOT returned to it. Perhaps it gets better? I dislike the commentary that takes place with someone telling you how good it is. Maybe I just wasn't in the right frame of mood when I started it? It got mixed reviews. Maybe I'll return to it after watching some others I have on my watch list on Amazon Prime and Netflix.
Have you watched it, and if so did you enjoy it?
This is my electric frothier. Hubby purchased this for me after fixing my coffee for a few days right after I initially broke my foot. I've been using a small hand held battery operated frothier, which he found annoying. So, off to Bed, Bath and Beyond with a coupon he went. This is really quite nice. It heats and froths at the same time. My hand held one only frothed. So, initially I heated milk in the microwave and than frothed to put in my morning coffee. It really does make the coffee special and is a lot cheaper than buying coffee out...at a coffee shop, which is something I never do. Thank you hubby for upping my game.
