Every Little Bit

Since finishing Ellie’s romper, there hasn’t been a whole lot of knitting. I go to pick up my needles and notice that the dishwasher needs to be unloaded, the laundry folded, the bed made (I am lying about that one – I haven’t made the bed in at least a week) or I need to finish half a dozen t-shirt designs Right Now. All that to say: in the past week I have completed a single CounterPain Square. I was stuffing it into the bag with the others when I realized that there are lots and lots of unjoined squares.

They are impressive when stacked.

So I am going to do a little bit of crochet for a few days. In the past, it has given me an enormous sense of accomplishment to add a chunk to the CounterPain. The feeling can be likened to getting a second wind. I could use a second wind.

The timer? I didn’t want to forget about my bread.

The recipe is here.

It’s a yummy cheater sourdough. There are enough things in this house that need to be fed – no way I’m adding a starter to that.

    I wish you the best of luck on the squares!
    What a perfect loaf of bread. I bet the house smelled wonderful when you were done!

    That is a very impressive stack of CounterPain squares. Every so often I imagine how cool it would be to make one of those spreads and then I remember how long you have been working on yours. I hope you get a second wind! It will be absolutely lovely in the end.

    that counterpane is going to be incredible once you complete it. and I bet that one day your daughter will say to you… Mom, will you give that to me 🙂
