Nothing except dirt under my nails and a sunburned neck.

Despite Ned’s excellent assistance with ripping out the carpet in the spare bedroom,

Despite Ned’s assistance, the carpet was removed, revealing lovely wood floors that will not need refinishing.

So I moved on to spreading mulch on the garden beds.

(I think I’m finishing up the second cubic yard and we’ll need a third.  It is an excellent work out. I am very tired.)

At least the weather if fabulous:

I needed something simple with large needles (between the carpet and the mulch, my hands need to take it easy), I casted on this Mega Skein from Tilli Thomas (acquired at Maryland Sheep and Wool, because I was curious)

I thought the first fabric was too stiff, so I frogged and went up a needle size.  (Usually, I go down a size. Or two.)

Then I thought it was too small (circumference), so I frogged and tried a scarf.

Then I realized that, at this needle size, there was no way to smooth a triangle scarf increase (and I wasn’t going for the stair step effect), so I frogged and went back to the original mobius cowl.

I casted on 1/3 more stitches for the cowl.  And now I am happy.  If not very far along.

So … nothing but dirt under my nails, a sunburned neck, gorgeous wood floors, lovely gardens, a mischievous cat, and a half done mobius cowl.
