Fingerloop-More

Some happy things from today:

The thing about waking up somewhere that one doesn't live is that none of the responsibilities of home are waiting. Since I brought crafts with me I was able to do some fingerloop braiding before Amy woke up. This isn't that I couldn't do this at home, more that I could do so without the pressures of what I should be doing looming over me. Eventually it got late enough that that feeling went away, but it was nice while it lasted.
This fingerloop braid was made different from my most previous ones. Instead of looping the yarn and tying one knot for each color, I cut the strings, tying more knots, which results in two colors for each fingerloop. This probably doesn't make much sense, but the result is that when I braid the threads all together there are large chevron shapes. When I braid them to create a split, each split is a different color. I alternated between the two types of braiding to create one cord with holes or button loops. I'm not yet sure what I will use it for. The picture didn't want to load next, so it is at the end of the Blog.

Amy wasn't feeling well when she got up so I didn't stay as late as I would have otherwise. Since I was hoping to get a walk in before bed (I'm working a short shift tonight), I messaged Stephanie to see if she was free. She was and we met at a new-to-us place. The trails we used were nice. There were educational signs and bridges over water. At one time there had been a mill on the property. It also is located sort of conveniently for Stephanie, me, and Amy should we want to meet there another time.
