One of my favourite romance authors released a book today - Alina Jacobs The Art of Marrying Your Enemy. It was a lot spicier than I expected, and even though I'm heading rapidly towards sixty, I'm not sure I'm old enough to read books like that, but it was pleasantly bonkers with a self indulgently hysterical heroine and a self destructive dark hero. It's on Kindle Unlimited, which I'm sure that I'm abusing with the amount I read, so dove straight in.
I also listed four hand knitted blankets on eBay. I don't know if they'll sell, but I thought that I'd try it. I'd been putting it off for a bit, so I was pleased to have done it as I found taking the pics tricky. That's when my willpower broke and I decided to give in to the yarn.
I was good last night. I diligently worked on the blanket and it's making good progress, but I couldn't resist the call of new yarn anymore so I started knitting.
It's a 'cast on 100 stitches, increase into every stitch, repeat' scarf with inserted rows of twisted drop stitch. I could have perhaps finished it tonight, but my eyes are tired. Besides, I've found a pattern for a similar effect that doesn't end up with 800 stitches on the needle so I may rip this out and try again.
I still haven't planted the chilli seeds. I'll have to get to that tomorrow.
Dinner worked really well tonight. It was just a jar of curry sauce, with chicken and a load of frozen veggies added and served with rice, but the men really enjoyed it and that's a win for me. I'm not keen on the jar sauces, but it helps and I comfort myself that I always make sure that there's plenty more than just the jar sauce in the casserole.
Hugs and good health to all.
