Weather Dismal

Trailer knitting for me is not my normal knitting. At the trailer, I like non-thinking projects - projects that I can accomplish in a day or two that require no brain power.

Often I have the grandkids at the trailer, and they want to swim, boat, fish - all the exciting stuff. That means, Grandma's knitting happens in small snatches. And that means, the non-thinking projects work best for me.

But - you knew that was coming, didn't you? The weather has been - in a gross understatement - I would say, poor. Rain and cool since our arrival. Still, I knit a hat and finished, Abi's short summer sweater, and was wondering what to do next, when the the weather man announced the weather for next few days.

He used a meteorological term I hadn't heard before, He said the weather would be dismal. Dismal!

Not a problem for Fred. He remembered his jacket. He remembered his sweater. Me? I forgot both.

I suggested going to town to buy a jacket, but Fred asked if surely I didn't have enough wool to knit myself one. Why yes, indeed, I do.

I started this sweater - Top Down.

At the moment, I am about half finished. I suspect, it will be done, just at the minute the sun comes out.
