Did that rare thing and started a knitting project today. Another scarf, Breckenridge by Jared Flood, using their now retired Parka color in the Arbor line. The pattern is simple, but it took a couple of rows to get it down pat. This one is for the husband, and who knows when it'll be done. Given my track record, some time next year. Not that we need scarves any time soon, since we don't really go anywhere. But it'll keep my fingers busy. Interesting part was starting the intro ribbing on a smaller needle (4), then going up to a 7 for the real pattern.
Speaking of knitting, the lap blanket I did a few years back has a huge hole in it. I suspect the join where I switched skeins came apart, but now I have a several stitch wide, couple row deep hole I have to figure out how to repair. If I still have any of the yarn left. I think I do, but that requires hauling out some totes, so in the meantime it's stashed in a closet so it hopefully won't get stretched further.
Beyond that, it was a nice quiet weekend. The husband is in a lull between semesters both for work and school, so he enjoyed being a lump most of the weekend. Well, other than taking all the Christmas stuff down, that is. I tried a new way of cooking a seasoned brown rice (baked in the oven) that didn't quite work, but I then tried it in the instant pot and it turned out much better. Will tweak it further the next time we make it, but was nice to add another dish to the repertoire.
