Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it.
People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19
Finally finished casting on 403 stitches using a cable cast on to start the lower edge of Go Tell The Bees shawl, larger size. I'm using a gradient pack from Greenwood Fiberworks that I'd almost forgotten I bought at Stitches West in 2018 or 2019. Starting with the darkest teal. 🧶
Cast on a 2nd sock (to make a pair) and knit the ribbing and about 2" of leg. Then I knit 15 rows on an in-progress shawl from the wrong chart; I'm tinking that back to where I messed up. Glad I didn't attempt the 403 stitch setup row on Bees! Ordered salads for dinner - not interested in cooking.
Yesterday I finished much of my to-do list for the week, including scheduling referral medical appts for DH. Today he informed me he's not going to any of them because he can't remember why his PCP thought they were important. So tired of dealing with a stubborn, willfully helpless man-child.
SO picked up the CSA box while I dealt with fuel oil and propane planning for winter, and with some of his medical stuff. Picked up my Saab after having the heater/ac blower motor replaced so now it's ready to drive for the summer. Watching so much baseball.
🧶 During our happy hours call on Friday the quilting queen showed me a shawl pattern on Ravelry by Dee O'Keefe. I wandered over and looked at all her designs and there are several that practically had me drooling on my keyboard! They are gorgeous, functional, and look complex. Check them out!
Much of NH and Maine is under a tornado watch and a severe thunderstorm warning until 7 pm. It's been raining much of the day, but heavy rains and wind started and 15 minutes ago. Pick up of our CSA box is postponed until tomorrow afternoon since it's a 60 miles round trip and it's worse there now.
Realized a bit ago that today is a totally blank slate - I have no lists, appts, or obligations! I'm not sure how to handle free time. Plenty of things I can do - knit, cut quilt pieces, plant something, organize a room - but it's my choice. 1st up: tea, breakfast, and daily word puzzles.
