You�re quite right, Mary Lou. I�ve got both Machu Picchu and Kate Davies� Coofle somewhere here on my laptop computer. The leg warmers, no. They were part of a kit from Jamieson & Smith and came on sort of stiff paper, I think. Tamar, they�re Fair Isle leg warmers, so not as easy knitting as they might be.

 

I�ve three-needle bound off the shoulders of Hamish�s Calcutta Cup vest. All is well, except that I�m slightly worried about whether the neck is big enough, given the extraordinary size of the infant head. I won�t do much ribbing, and I won�t do any decreases. It can be a round neck. And I�ll use a stretch bind-off. I may get the neck tacked down on the inside tonight, ready for action tomorrow. I could unpick an inch on one of the shoulders, and knit the edging back and forth�That might be better than worrying.

 

No Freecell so far tonight. Yesterday it suddenly appeared when I was wandering around the screen clicking both left and right. That�s having no effect today, and I can�t think of anything else to try.

 

Do any of you play Wordle? Rachel and Alexander have been pressing it on me. I wasn�t keen, and I�m not very good at word games in general. I tried yesterday and today � and today, to my surprise, I got it. I may have to go on for a while. But it feels like a waste of time, in a way that Freecell doesn�t. I often play that between paragraphs here � and just now, I coaxed it back with a couple of sturdy left clicks.

 

C. came this morning, and we got around the garden. It was slow, and I felt feeble, but a good deal better than yesterday. I forgot my telephone, but she took a picture of the snowdrops for me:

This gives somewhat of an impression, too, of the size of the garden. It's not an entirely trivial walk, if you're as feeble as I am.
