Feeling Sleepy

My sleep is more disrupted than normal. I didn't post on Thursday because I fell asleep and Friday I was away with the fairies because I felt so drowsy. I accidentally cast on a hat in dark navy blue. Fortunately I hadn't gone far before I came to my senses and ripped it out to start a scarf instead. Navy blue is so hard on the eyes and straight knit is better than 2x2 rib. I jerked awake this morning and looked at the clock. The hands were on '9' and '3' and I was in a total panic because I thought it was 9.15am and I was oversleeping as I would be late to leave to feed the crows. I was all of a dither and somewhat dazed and it was only when I opened the curtain to see the weather that I realised that not only was it still dark but it was actually 3.15am. Today I dozed off while watching the Wales v Liechtenstein match on catch up. I refuse to comment on the England v Andorra match. 

The hat idea went something like this... I am taking the car to the garage for a service and MOT on Tuesday. The very nice man that took my call is always joking and asking when I'll make him a sweater (because I stay and knit) and he's always sweet and explains things to me. I, in my befuddled state, considered making him a hat but I found the dark yarn first and I decided that it was probably easier to knit a scarf. If it's finished on Tuesday, I'll hand it over to him, otherwise I'll pass it on to the seafarers, as I've made no promises to the mechanic. I'm not optimistic as I've only got so far.

But Wales are playing Belgium on Monday, so I may make it. 

And speaking of yarn, if you remember the evil multistranded yarn, my brother's partner said that they wouldn't mind a scarf in that. As you know, I decided vehemently against it but somehow ended up getting some weirdish yarn from Temu to knit two scarves for my brother and partner. 

And while I was on Temu I must have been in a strange state of mind because I bought this.

It's currently £13.45 but I'm sure that I didn't pay that. I am usually silly on prices under £10, but who knows? Anyway, it's not a bad book for someone who likes knitting blankets and I may one day want to do something more complicated than straight knit. It's got clear instructions, some great pictures and it gives both charts (which I've never been able to understand) and text instructions, and it even shows whether it's reversible. The only downside is that it doesn't show the reverse for the patterns that aren't reversible. I'll try and make use of it, but not with the weirdish yarn for brother and his partner.

Gladys continues but frail. 

And while there have been some very small efforts in some ways, I got some mushrooms in the delivery. They were 79p for 250g instead of 90p and they looked lovely so I got a couple of packs to chop for the freezer.

Bear had an exam yesterday and he seemed to feel he had done 'okay'. 

I can feel myself nodding off again, so hugs and good health to all.
