I decided to do some self care this week with a long over soak and massage. I risked it and took my Siren Beanie out to the soaking tub.
I didn’t knit the whole time but I did add 10 or so rows. I had to keep drying my hands and my yarn was a teeny bit humid/damp. But It was relaxing nonetheless. Sometimes self care means combining some of my favorite things. What is your favorite combo?
Happy Knitting!!
I have started my job and trying to settle in and keep my brain from exploding. So I took some time to myself. I scheduled an outdoor soak and some peace and quiet.
Spent some time listening to the wind blow and knit on my Sport Ankle Socks. The hot tub was still set to winter temperature and spring has sprung here in Kansas so it was a little toasty. Was very glad for the water!
The trick to this relaxation is to keep your hands dry and your head clear. The heel is now turned and I have 18 rows of leg to knit before finishing with ribbing. At least with sock #2 I can count what I did with sock #1 and not rely on my memory!
Happy Knitting!!!
As a belated birthday present myself I booked myself a spa night. I saved up all my birthday pennies and indulged in a 60 minute soak and 60 minute massage. IT WAS GLORIOUS.
I had solo access to the outdoor hot tub and sauna in a beautiful Japanese style garden. The air was cool and I could hear the wind rustling the trees. I basically melted into a puddle.
And guess what? You can totally knit in the sauna!! Of course your needs and stitch markers do get a little warm, lol. My Baby Blend Basic Hat did grow another inch before I dissolved into complete sweaty relaxation. That and I had to stop because I a now ready for the crown decreases.
Happy Knitting!!
