Nothing like a timeline to help you get things done!
I started the day with a run with Dennis. Sarah had asked us to switch the run to Sunday this week as she was away camping, but then she didn’t show up. I got a text an hour later saying she forgot to set her alarm. I know it shouldn’t bug me, but it does because when I say I’m going to be somewhere, I’ll be there! The bright side is that I got to do a ten kilometer run which was nice:)
I had time when I got to the park this morning to check the water and oil in my car and realized, getting oil was a priority so that’s the first thing I did after tea! I also stopped in on the way home at my brothers place as they had brought me back some peaches and wine.
I am leaving to visit family tomorrow so that got my butt in gear. I got my garbage and recycling taken out, my kitchen floor swept, the laundry put away, and my bags packed before I had a lovely nap.
Knitting wise I wanted to finish the sleeve of my Everyday Tee as that’s all I had left and didn’t want it lingering on needles while I was away. I did manage to get the sweater done and while it didn’t look great, it thankfully looks better on!

I think it will be a very handy sweater for work. This is the Everyday Tee pattern by Twin Stitches Designs. I did it in Fortuna by Classic Elite Yarns in the colourway Gypsy. This yarn was odd. It is marked DK, but it seems to have almost a thick/thin texture. It has taken me a lot of projects to finally find something it worked for. I am happy with how it looks and don’t even mind that I didn’t alternate skeins.
I have finished the night with some stretching for my hamstrings and plantar fasciitis as I felt both on my run this morning. It’s amazing what you can find on YouTube!
Well I’ve showered and I think I’m as ready as I can be for a very early wake up tomorrow.
Have fun!

sounds like a productive day. I love the color of the sweater. I too am I say what I mean and mean what I say person. Its taken a long time to learn to not get annoyed that everyone else isn’t the same way. Hope you have fun with your family
I am trying my best to learn that life skill but it’s tough! Thanks I’m hoping for better weather over there!
Very nice sweater, AJ, and congrats on your 10km! Enjoy your visit with family.
Thank you! I think I’m going to love the sweater come Fall!
Love the yarn you are using for the sweater! I have to stretch daily to prevent PF. I got it when I started running in 2015 without getting orthotics for my sneakers. I no longer run but I love to walk everyday!
Yes I have been stretching everyday in trying to avoid getting orthotics!
Smart!!
Your sweater looks great! Good for you getting so much done 🙂
Thank you
Lovely sweater!
Thank you. It felt like it took forever
I hope you’re enjoying the time with your family. The sweater looks great
Lol I guess I haven’t been writing because I usually write for my mom but she’s with me. It’s going great!
