Another Day, 04/23/2020
And another day! After all the weather changes, my neck and shoulders feel like I had a three hour workout while I slept. Late getting up and dragging. A few (several) minutes of my SWGOH and new one, Emmas Adventure California, time for chores! Takes a bit to wake up, so I guess my bit of game play is just that. Take the dog outside, take care of the chickens. My son is supposed to be caring for them but getting him to do that, HA! The stay at home order I guess gives him the excuse to live the "life of leisure". I'm not really complaining, too much. I need and appreciate the movement, the walk to get out a bit more than I have of late. I finish, brew a cup of decaf and off to spend my hour with dad, or as I call him, Pops. We try to spend week mornings over a cup, we joke that we're solving the problems of the world. Precious time, with our families. Especially as we age. I can't imagine not taking the opportunity to spend with my parents, especially given their close proximity. I hate my in-laws are so far away, especially now. We didn't get to have Easter with them this year, very sad and disappointing.
Today, I've been working on my lapghan. Mom and I decided to take a break from our regular craft times on occasion to do something a little more altruistic. A few weeks ago, we made masks. Those are to go to the local hospital. Currently, we are making lap covers for one of the nursing homes in town. I had requested our quilt guild to make some lap covers and the nursing home staff was pleased when they received them. Mom is doing hers in greens, alternating rows of single and double crochets. (I think she's making it a little big. She said if she finds it comfortable, then so should someone else.) Mine, I'm making the standard size, about 36" x 40". I'm using a basic ripple pattern, and alternating the colors. There are several ripple patterns online. Couple of thoughts that regardless of the pattern, be creative, make sure your gauge based on your yarn and your tension, and that there are a few different ripple variations. Are you wanting just the size, or do you like the quaint little gaps on the lower points? Here is mine:
Okay, so, getting late. Have a great evening and God bless!
