It was cold and rainy in MI on Sunday morning, by Sunday afternoon, it is sunny and warm in Florida.
My excuse for coming down was to finish some dental work - which I finished up this morning. As luck would have it, I couldn't get a cheap flight back home sooner than Thursday (really...I mean it) , so I am forced to be here for a few more days.
It feels good to be back in the sun and the surf. This is a pic from my walk this morning. The water level was much lower and I was able to walk further north on the beach than I could all winter.
I took my first swim in the gulf for the year too. The water was 82degrees and so inviting - so I took the plunge. Next time I'm bringing my floating chair so I can kick back and relax in the waves!
Writing about my knitting funk pushed me into finally starting a new project - so here it is:
Pattern: Juneberry Triangle by Jared Flood
Yarn: Louisa Harding, Aimee - a blend of 90/10 cotton/cashmere
It is a well written pattern, and I love knitting it almost as much as working his Girasole shawl pattern
I brought Tan Man's felted clogs with me to Florida. I have a top loader here and it is so much easier to felt. Here is the before picture - they have to felt a bit, don't they??
After - I think I felted them enough. I used one of his flip-flops to help me felt to size.
