I got the yarn from my LYS, Pick Up Every Stitch, and also took an online class they ran on tightening your rib, which was very helpful. The yarn is Sandnes Garn Line, a cotton/linen/viscose blend.
Here is a picture of what stitching I managed. It's the EF Sampler 1864 -- an old UFO. I love this sampler (it's from an old SANQ magazine and it's by Needlework Press). I put my knitting where the pictorial stuff will go. ETA: Thanks to Sue for forcing my hand -- I looked it up after her comment, and yes it is from the summer 2011 issue for those who are wondering. Thanks, Sue!
The big news at home is that the boy child is now back at home from Buffalo. It's so nice to have him home again!
Mia is enjoying having her sleeping partner home again. She had to show her annoyance at having been abandoned, but picked up sleeping with DS right away. She's spent most of her time in his room as well! We've all missed him.
The girl child is still in NYC. She's been safe and sound so far, knock on wood. We miss seeing her, but she doesn't want to chance coming home. :(
I hope everyone is staying safe.
