No Monday Mundane here
Well folks we got a very late start to our day today! Oh my gosh we slept in, but that is one advantage of being retired and working at home too! A biggie that we so enjoy, and also being able to do what we need to accomplish an agenda and stay in lounging jammies all day too if we care too. Once we did get rolling....MrB worked on some notes that he is keeping for record purposes as he takes his learning curves to new levels. He worked very busily in sock-school today. Although I do not recall all he worked on today I do know that he cranked off another cast- on bonnet to be a permanent tool not to unravel but to use in his sock making tasks to come. He is just telling me now that he also worked using the ribber to make a start of a sock with 60 rows of ribbing stitches which were flawless. He then tried to turn a heel with the ribber on the machine and that all went haywire. But that proves to be a very successful day of learning. Me, msb, did some networking, some more research and answered some emails pertaining to Socks Made On 88, as well as checked into all the sock machine groups I have joined. All and all another productive day and there was No Monday Mundane here!
