Events have conspired to keep my progress slow.
2 more miles.
14.5 total Reach Stock Road
A mere 3.5 miles to get me out of the first day. And it’s only a total of 485 miles from Hobbiton to Rivendell. I should be there in a couple of years.

Another 2 miles. That makes 12.5
Stop in a birch grove. Eat a frugal supper.
Add on another 1.5 miles. I have been active with other things as well. And I have had some very tired nights. So that makes for 10.5 miles. I need another half mile for the next way point. I will get that and a bit more tomorrow.
I have been in a bit of a knitting funk. I know! Say it isn’t so! But yes. Sadly enough. I keep thinking about all the lovely lace patterns out there. But I have three projects right now. Wing o the Moth is big and fluffy and 60% done. the other 40% is about 50 rows left. So I keep trying to make myself work on that. And a lace scarf with nupps. But I keep questioning my nupps. In the end I am sure they will block out fine. And I have been disappointed in my sock projects right now. I did finally make myself pull out the bad section of one of them so that I could work on it again. I had a sock that ended up half an inch too short on the foot. I spent a while trying to convince myself that it would be fine before giving up. Another sock I knit the cuff shorter thatn the pattern called for, and yet I am very unhappy with how long the cuff is. I tried to tell myself it would be fine, but haven’t really been able to talk myself into it. And it wasn’t the fastest project pattern to start with. I will probably rip the whole thing. I may find another pattern for it.
I need to push on through and then the happy knitting vibes will be back in short order. And I need to get more sleep.
I do like knitting.
I am the owner of a treadmill. It tracks the distance I have traveled.
Do you see where this is going?
Walk to Rivendell resurected! I am 9 miles in, starting fresh. That puts me at, let me see now, Hobbiton hidden as slopes rise and fall. It will be a bit slow, seeing as how Frodo and the crew made 18 miles in the first day.
And, right on the heels of that purchase, my washer dumped a load of water on the floor. And the water also went under the wall next to the washer to the carpet, where the previous owners cats apparently tinkled. Lovely. So today I have a new washer and dryer being delivered. The last washer was 14 years old. I did have a repairman out. He said it was a huge domino effect and don’t spend any money on it. I like repairmen for companies that don’t do any sales. Front loader. Eh.
And I like knitting.
What do you get when you take a 5 year old, Star Wars Clone Wars and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (animated)?
Becca: If the Grinch really wants to stop Christmas from coming, he should just kill Santa.
