#mar 9

Day 68 of 365

Mar 9 - Made tuna pesto pasta for supper.

Mar 10 - Fried some pork chops, which I served with potatoes, squash, and peas.

Mar 11 - Just me for supper. Made barley soup using some lamb stock from the freezer along with meatballs for protein.

Mar 12 - Made a vat of chili, ate some of it for supper; just me, so I didn't bother doing rice or anything.

Mar 13 - Ran the vacuum. Since it was just me for supper yesterday I served chili and rice tonight, since it saved me from cooking something else (and I don't mind chili two days in a row).

Hoodie is coming along well; the revised sleeve worked out much better:

At first I was just putting in a red stitch marker every 10 rows to keep track of length, but I kept losing track of where I was in the sets-of-three-rows I was using to figure out where to do decreases; I tried to count the existing rows and put in additional stitch markers, but that kept working out wrong since they weren't going in at quite the same places in the stitch order. So, yes, I frogged most of the stupid thing again and then very carefully inserted a stitch marker every third row (in addition to still doing a red one every 10) and I finally managed to finish the damn sleeve (after working on it since Feb 24!). It's using a combination of a decrease on every 1-of-3, decreases on 1-and-2-of-3, then back to 1-of-3, plus a non-decreasing section at both start and end. The fit is just so much better now, and it definitely used a lot less yarn than the previous attempt.

Did pasta and meat sauce for supper.

Mar 9 - Ran two loads of laundry - bedding and towels.
