Another pair of quick fingerless mitts:
This is leftover yarn from another pair of fingerless mitts from 2013.
The yarn is Manos del Uruguay Maxima, which looks/feels is almost exactly like Malabrigo Merino Worsted. Both companies are from Uruguay but the Maxima is priced much higher (from Webs: $20 for a skein of Maxima, $12 for a skein of Malabrigo Worsted). But Manos yarn is Fair Trade and made up of a dozen non-profit cooperatives, so I think that accounts for the higher price.

It's been cold and really windy the past few days. Made more progress on my shawl. For some reason the shawl seems to be weeknight knitting and the sweater is weekend knitting.
I made a sausage/green pepper/onion pizza last night and my crust game was on point. Going to whip up another bucket of no-knead dough with whey strained from last weekend's yogurt making.
I have to figure out some kind of DIY curtain or window decoration. My office shares a door with the office next to me (like a door between ajoined hotel rooms) and the door has a window in it. There's a sort of peeping-tom-staring-in-your-living-room-window vibe that you get when you catch the other person looking in on you. I'm not saying it's just him- I do it, too. For example when I'm getting my jacket and happen to look through to his office... and I stand there... staring at him working at his desk... and he sees me... and I narrow my eyes and draw my index finger across my throat. I'm just saying a curtain would help this privacy issue.
Macrame might be too see-through. A knit or crochet one would take too long. I don't want to buy any window film. I actually don't want to buy anything. And I can't do anything permanent. I just want something I can hang on a tension rod. I do have a Schacht School Loom for weaving but the finished width would only be 15" and I need at least 23" by 26". Hmmmmmmm... What to do, what to do.
