Today is my hubby’s birthday so this weekend is his weekend. For V-day yesterday, we went out to a nice dinner with our son at a local spot called Joe’s Cafe in Granada Hills. Afterwards, we went to sing a karaoke spot. Our son originally didn’t want to go but ended coming with us. It was a fun couple of hours as we sat and sang our hearts out. I’ve been wanting to go for awhile as it’s been a long time since we’ve done that. Today, we woke up early and went to see Parasites, the Korean drama that seems to be talked about everywhere since sweeping up all the awards. Then we had a light lunch at his favorite Thai spot. Now we are home and I get to craft until he decides he wants to do something else.
It’s been a couple of weeks since I posted a weekly update. No real reason other than I had a full week a couple of weeks ago and Saturday was my only free day. This meant that all I wanted to do was craft and blogging was not part of that picture.
I went to yoga each week and I’m maintaining my once a week yoga tradition. I really need to go more than that but it’s proving to be difficult. I am striving for twice a week.
For morning knitting, I’ve been working on my “jo’s perfect slipper socks”.

I’m almost done! These were so easy to knit up and I can’t believe I’ve only got about 5 rounds left to do!
For Ricky’s Weasley Sweater, I worked on it 7 of the 10 scheduled days. It doesn’t look much different than last time, it’s just a bit longer so I’m not going to post another pic. You can scroll to a previous post if you are dying to see what it looked like before. I was able to finish my Fairy Hills Shawl!

I bound off on 2/13 but I still need to block it and cut off the ends. The ends are woven in but I cut them off after I block it. So that’s all I need to do. I was going to do it today but didn’t have time and now I’m too cold to do it. I love it. Here’s a close up of the lace before I finished so you can see it better:
