It was my last full week before leaving for Europe but did I focus on packing? Nope. The start of the week was pretty normal and then I was busy finishing a project to enter in the county fair right after I got back.
There was lots of socializing early in the week. I went to Lorri's for lunch on Monday, which was supposed to be in a park but rain nixed that, knitted at Nan's in Fremont instead of the library, took Dodie to Green Gateau for her birthday then had tea at Rene's and chatted the afternoon away. After a day at home on Wednesday when the contractor came to get a key and do a final project overview, I was back to Lincoln for another OT appointment, hanging at Helen's and then swimming. I watered in my yard and my neighbor's in a wet bathing suit then showered and was ready to knit.
I have been trying to win Best in County at the fair for a few years now. Last year I got reserve best (2nd place) and so this year was going to finish the colorwork cowl I started on my Norway knitting cruise in December 2018 in hopes of winning. It was only a third done and required concentration so that was my mission for the weekend. Other than watering plants, including my neighbor's, and doing a few chores, the Friday through Sunday was devoted to the cowl. Since it was thick and would take a long time to dry, I needed it finished and blocked well before my trip. I didn't finish it until Monday but here are the 2 sides of it.
As usual, I ended the week going to water aerobics in Lincoln, which I needed after sitting and knitting for three days. I was happy to have the cowl done and since I'd be leaving for Europe on Friday, it was time to change gears and get ready to be gone for 15 days. Yee ha!
