Knitting and Reading Updates


Hello Friends, 


I hope you are doing well. This is a slow week at work and feels like it should be the weekend by now now. Sometimes weeks seem to drag on.  We are halfway there! I am looking forward to the weekend and it is a long weekend because I took Monday off because it it my seven year anniversary with my fiancé Liam on Sunday. We plan to just relax and spend the day together. I am not sure what I am getting him yet but maybe I will try to be creative and get him something or make something.


I have been working on knitting the second sock of the Sunshine on My Feet sock pattern by The Kitchen Sink Shop. I am happy it looks so much like the other one and the yarn matches up so far in the self striping. 




I have been reading Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. I have not read as much this week and will read more tonight. It has been quite interesting so far and I am learning a lot and really reflecting on creativity and also being authentic. I am still reading Average is the New Awesome by Samantha Matt. It is a fun read and also offers some insight and self-reflection.

The virus continues on and we discussed it at a meeting at work today. It seems most of us are quite happy working from home. Come September, some people might return to the office and the rest will continue to work from home. Those that volunteer will be the ones to help our company test out the waters. I will happily continue to work from home. I would love to work from home permanently, that is something that might happen as well, we shall see. Only time will tell. I am doing okay at home through this pandemic both working and also in my free time. I just miss seeing our families and friends we have been doing video calls which help a lot. I might do a Father's day social distancing dinner  this weekend to visit. We just take it one step at a time that's all we can do. Pictured below is the personal protective equipment (PPE) I have been using throughout this time to protect myself and others.I also had some gloves, not sure where those ended up.

  1. Have a wonderful anniversary celebration! It will be interesting to see how work changes after COVID. Here there are already definite changes in that many companies are introducing permanent work from home or distance working. Some country towns are experiencing booms in real estate as people find that they don't need to live in the expensive big cities any more. My hubby certainly found working from home was more efficient.

    1. Thank you! yeah I can see more changes to work places moving forward. I can definitely get on board with working from home permanently and buying a home further out of the city. Thanks for stopping by!
