Last week I learned that my cousin Peter Molinaro's mother-in-law had passed away. They live in Loudonville so I sent a card. Thursday I learned that my cousin, Phyl, the last 1st cousin on my father's side, had died. She was...like most of my 1st cousins except Peter and Ed...about 20 years older than me. She had Alzheimer's and had been at Folt's Home for quite awhile. My mom always missed not being able to visit with Phyllie anymore. I guess they can visit now. Her funeral is Tuesday at St Francis in Herkimer. I won't try to make Jeff go with me...he doesn't do funerals...but maybe he'll drive me down.
I got my yarn order from LittleKnits on Thursday and let Jeff pick out which skein he liked. He choise the Opal Classics Luxurious, a washable wool blend of blues with a streak of white (leaving the green Opal Classics Exciting for me). Before we went out today I started the socks for him. And I worked on them again last night, so by the time I went to bed I had half the foot done! (Remember a foot for a sock for Jeff is really a foot/12".)
Half of a sock foot! |
P.S. 1/24/16: Well, this afternoon I finished the foot and turned the heel on that 1st sock of this latest pair of socks for Jeff while Denver and New England kept things interesting on the football field, and Jeff put together a 16-bean soup for tomorrow and a great stir-fry for supper tonight. (I think that man really wants another pair of socks!!) I don't know if I can do the entire leg tonight but I'll try. The 2nd game, Carolina v Arizona, just started so I better get the table cleared off...the dishes can sit in the sink...and get back to his sock.
