The world can wait

I did it, I did it.  I got a healthy inch done yesterday and I am so pleased.  I could have done more but I played around with needle tips yesterday.  

I switched out the wood tips for some metal tips and yes, the yarn and process had more slip to it, but the knitting got slower.  It was too slippy.  Worth a try though.  I went back to my wood tips and had a decent time knitting.  With a bit of luck, I can repeat it again today and will almost have a sweater looking thing on my hands.

Today is a work from home day for Keith, so later today I am going to bake some cookies.  Peanut butter as per his request but I also might make some quick bread loaves for the upcoming F1 weekend.  A date loaf for me perhaps and an apricot loaf for Keith.  Among my many cookbooks, there is no apricot loaf recipe but I found if I chop up the apricots and otherwise treat them like dates in my date loaf recipe, I get a very tasty result.  Toasted with butter, it is really a treat.

And now I am going to settle back and do some knitting while I sip my coffee and listen to a book.  All the rest of the things I need to do today can wait.  The World is not going to get between this old girl and her needles.
