Perfect Glass

Ah one of those delightful mornings for walking.  Temperature was 68, low humidity, and the sun was shining in a bright blue sky with a cool breeze at times.  So nice for walking around the lake.  Quite a few people out for a Monday morning and there were even four people playing tennis at the tennis courts where i came into the park.
There were geese by the lake again.  Who knows if they are some of the same ones from before or these are a different bunch.  There were so many and now there are just a few.
I see a women most days walking around the lake and even on hot days she always wears long cotton pants and a long sleeve shirt,  a face mask over her nose and mouth, cotton gloves and a huge hat. I've said good morning to her numerous times but she never answers back so i've stopped.   I'm curious about her though and wonder what her reasons are for wearing what she does.
A very pleasant walk today and i went 6.2 miles.

*******************************************

I have completed knitting the last two of the Bobble Squares for the white bedspread.  A good name for this stitch don't you think. 

Here's a closer look.

This project is the one and only time i've ever made this stitch.  I learned how to make this stitch on my own by reading and rereading the directions, and after 20 minutes finally figured it out.
When you come to this stitch in the pattern it reads like this, MB, which stands for Make Bobble.  In the back of the book it explains how to do this. 

Knit into front, back, front, back, front of the next stitch.

Turn work, and purl the 5 stitches.

Turn work, and knit the 5 stitches.

Slip the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th stitches 

off over the 1st stitch.

Sounds complicated at first but taking one step at a time it is really not so hard.  In fact now i find them fun to do. : )  With these two squares now done i only have 7 more to do!!!!

Reading a blog i learned of a glass cleaner that was supposed to work super good called Perfect Glass.  I usually use a homemade solution but decided to give Perfect Glass a try.  I bought some at Lowes the other day and today i tried it.   I think this stuff is terrific and is as good as it claims to be and I will be using it from now on.  I have never heard of this before now have you?

If you click on the picture you should be able to read the small print on the label.

 

That said i guess you've guessed that i'm home today cleaning.

It's just a little after 1:00 now and I'm taking a bit of a break now and ready to have some lunch.  Don't know how much more work I'll get done today.  I'm feeling more like knitting now than cleaning!! : )

Hope your Monday is a good one and a great start to the new week.

A happy Monday to  you.
Happyone : )

People seem to get nostalgic about a lot of things they weren't

so crazy about the first time around.
