Domestic improvements

We've made some more progress today: 
- while I scrubbed the back yard and cut back the overgrown plants, A started painting the bathroom.  It was trying to rain while I was outside but it still felt good to spend some time outdoors.
- I added a 2nd coat of paint in the bathroom while he made tea this evening; the 3rd coat will go on tomorrow and the previous blue shade will be only a memory.
- I've finished A's first knitted slipper, which meant ripping back a few rows to get the size closer to his foot.  It's a bit wide at the toes but good enough.  Now to make its pair...

Monday knits

I managed to find half an hour on Saturday to pop into Whitehaven to buy some yarn for the Clapotis wrap. I cast on yesterday and it's growing nicely... I think I'm almost halfway through the increase section, although I might keep going to make it wider. I'll see how it looks when I'm further into the section.

I've also restarted Andrew's slippers. The first one was too narrow, so I've added 6 stitches to the width and I've gone up a needle size. So far so good.
