Something wicked this way comes
William Shakespeare
It was another beautiful morning out on the porch. This morning I decided that instead of cutting my time short out on the porch enjoying my cuppa coffee I would just move my compressor and the boot that I put over my leg outside and just take care of it out there while I was having my coffee. I need to wear the boot for an hour in the morning and in the evening. So you can see how that can take up a good chunk of time each time I have to do it.
I so enjoyed sitting out there this morning and I believe as long as the weather is enjoyable I will just keep on doing that in the morning.
After I was done with that I check the pressure in the tires of my bike and went for a ride. I try to ride my bike at least three times a week at least 2 miles. Beside being good for you it is also beneficial to help keep the swelling of lymphedema manageable.
I spent a good couple hours in the studio this afternoon which has been long overdue.
Here is some fabric that I picked out to make a dress. What I needed to do was to iron the fabric after I had finished washing and drying it. I’m going to try the Hinderland dress. I’ve seen the dress pattern made up many times in different ways and I thought I would give it a shot because I love dresses, comfy dresses and this one looks so it would do that, be very comfy. The only issue with it with my large bust and it is a high waisted dress with some gathering for the skirting which can Sometimes look like a big balloon. I expect that and that’s OK I will just be comfortable
Making the stem pieces for the many pumpkins. I was hoping to get more done but at least I was able to get a little done.
I had finished the Ranunculus sweater and needed to get it blocked. I had made it for the warmer weather, used a cotton/linen yarn. I’m not sure if that was the right yarn to make my first one. I’ll make another but use a wool.
The squirrels are busy this time of year gathering up nuts to bury for winter. So focused on the job that they are getting brave and coming up on the porch even while we too are there….. so cute for a rodent.
I’m finishing this a little early this evening so I can get some knitting in. I’ll show that tomorrow
Till then

I have been enjoying sitting outside with my coffee in the morning too. It is wonderful to enjoy the beautiful weather while it lasts. You have found a great way to multitask with the compression. Looks like you have lots of space. My neighbors would ask about the noise the compression is making. All of your projects look great. I enjoy watching squirrels but my dog chases after them and keeps the yard squirrel free when we are outside.
ReplyDeleteLovely post Kat, you seem very busy, love your sweater.
