Not a very productive week on the yarn-y front. Made a couple of dishcloths. My pretty, pretty sock yarn that I was going to pass along and then didn’t and then decided to use anyway and then didn’t and then did has finally discovered what it wants to be, I think. I’m needing to write up a repeatedly-requested pattern but having trouble getting going. It was 98 degrees this afternoon and we have no air conditioning. The Mega Lo Mart is getting to be more fun/ less crazy-scary-exhausting (and now that I’ve said that, watch tomorrow be awful). My upsatirs neighbors and the downstairs ones are vying for who-can-be-weirder.
That said, I did finish a truly awesome custom order that just got shipped this afternoon.
And picked up a 5th day at work, which means that the roof over our head? Stays there, barring natural disaster or something truly strange happening. Gas has finally hit $4 a gallon here. And the heatwave? Supposed to be another day. Yuck.
OTOH, it’s got me thinking about all of the crochet cotton I’ve accumulated…
$4 a gallon!! Here in Australia I paid $1.52 a litre this morning, so that’s about $5.75 a gallon.
Ouch! Has it gone up there as rapidly? I think we’ve all got sticker shock because the prices climbed so fast when they finally took off. It went over $3.00 here the first time at the beginning of March or so. I’m just glad I work close to home!
Was about $1.20 at Xmas. My husband travels an hour to work each way and I go the same to uni 3 days a week, so our fuel bill is over $700 a month now. It really is getting crazy (and we don’t live out of town either)
Oh, my goodness! That really *is* crazy.
