Thursday - Hot and sunny
A good day.
I got up a bit late this morning, I think I ended up snoozing a little on the couch, but did have my breakfast and some cold tea. I was going to start my workout early, but I had to do something, which led to something else. Anyway, my cellphone rang and it was F. He was being sweet, he was inviting me out for lunch, but I hadn’t done my workout yet. I had planned a long one for today, but ended up doing two short ones instead.
I was still a little sweaty when F picked me up, but I had warned him about that! We went to the local Chinese restaurant. I had stir-fried vegetables and F had some ramen. Mine was fine, his less so.
He dropped me off at home and after a brief minute in the apartment, went back to work. I did some computer stuff and then took my lovely blanket outside to get some pictures under natural light. I had to be careful where I put it, but I think I did okay. I then brought the blanket back in the apartment and put it in the washing machine. It looked great even after all of that!

| The "arty" outdoor shot! |
I got a start on dinner tonight when F was over at his mother’s. It was pretty simple tonight. We had garlic-soy pork and maitake mushrooms sautéed, with some of the leftover potato salad. It just keeps getting better and better. I am definitely going to make that again!
After dinner, F did the dishes and I did a bit of postcrossing. I have 5 cards that I’ll need to scan and stamp tomorrow. F went out for a walk this evening. I think he’s getting into this exercise thing too.
That’s about it for me. I wrote some email today. Oh, my niece got her present for her graduation. She even sent me a thank-you email so I was quite pleased!
Tomorrow, sending the cards, dinner and wrapping up the blanket are on my agenda. Come back later and find out if I get it all done. Until tomorrow….

It's really lovely! The blue at the edge makes a perfect border for it, much better than just the gray by itself. I also like the shots in natural light; artificial light changes the colors too much.
I'm curious to see what you choose for your next project!
Thank you! I thought the navy was a good edging too as it picks up one of the colours from the middle.
Ironically, I might do another one of the same blanket as I ordered about double the amount of yarn that I needed. I'll cycle the colours around a bit though so it won't look exactly the same!
I'm not sure what I'll do next though really! I have a long postponed thread piece for my sister that I should pick up and finish...but...
The blanket turned out great!! And the "arty" shot showed it off quite well. I am positive the receivers will love it. And if they don't, send it to me. Can't wait to see what your next project will be.
Thank you! I am hopeful that they will love it as much as I do!
