T Tuesday: quick check in edition

Last updated : February 3, 2018

My life in the petri dish of school has continued. Just as I was feeling better, I was hit with the crud again. I missed Thursday of school last week. UGH!! GERMS EVERYWHERE!!  I feel good now with the exception of a residual cough congestion cough. So frustrating.

I did start a new project on Friday and finished it up over the weekend. I learned how to use a different kind of knitting loom with a completely different stitch thanks to Pinterest and YouTube. I love all the resources we have at our finger tips these days!loom knit cowl

I followed this blog post to learn the new stitch. The kind of yarn I’m using doesn’t really show any stitches and I think perhaps in part of it I messed up. Thank you forgiving yarn…no one will never notice it.loom knit cowl

It’s so soft. I wore it to school yesterday as a snugly edition to my outfit.

Sorry for the poor photos. I took these after dark last night.

Speaking of photos…I’m nearly done with January. Here are the next six of the challenge.

24. begins with s…stickers

25. my morning view….everyday

26. thank you for….coffee

27. in the night….Marvin waits for me to top off his bowl before bed each night

28. text…dictionary pages covering my ancient fridge

28. magic….just the tip of the iceberg of the cards we’ve been collecting since 1994

I’ll need to pick my new challenge for February. These photo a day challenges really keep me stretching my creativity even when I can’t create hands-on.

Work, errands and archery are on the list today…
What are you doing today?

    Your cowl is lovely and from the photos it looks so cozy and soft. I love the internet too for learning how to do things. I taught myself how to spin with lots of you tube videos.
    so sorry you caught the bug again a good thing for us being retired we can avoid getting out in public this winter.
    Happy T Day enjoyed all of your photos too Kathy

    I’ve never seen a loom like that. Your yarn looks so soft and warm :)

    Aren’t online resources wonderful! I’m listening to a series on American Literature now and another on Film History. The videos are short and fun.

    Happy T Tuesday!

    that is a great scarf to keep your neck warm. I had that horrible cough over Christmas and crocheted a blue wrap for my neck..hope you get better soon and rub some Vicks vapour rub on your feet, have nice lemon drinks and plenty of rest as its quite a difficult bug to shift

    This was more than a quick check-in edition, dear friend. It is a wonderful post. I was SO impressed with that cowl. I can’t see any mistakes, and I bet you got lots of compliments on it, too.

    I LOVE Marvin. He is SO photogenic. What a doll. And you managed to get your mug in for T, too. Thanks for sharing your “quick” edition with us for T this Tuesday, dear Halle.

    Cool. I’ve seen these looms (of various sorts) but have never tried one. Looks like it is speedy and probably fun too. happy T day Halle. Hope you are all better and stay healthy. Hugs-Erika

    I know what you mean about certain yarns never showing stitches. It is most frustrating when making a pattern that requires detail such as lace. But your cowl turned out beautifully.
    Happy Tea Day,

    Your cowl is lovely. And it looks very warm and cuddly. So does Marvin – lol. I think I have one of those looms that a friend gave me but I’ve never used. I need to dig that out ;-)

    Glad you’re feeling somewhat better and hope you can remain so this time, Halle!

    Hugs, Eileen
