Day 3: When life gives you rainy Mondays,,,knit!

 

Let me set the scene: it’s Monday. It’s raining. And I’ve just begun my 100 Days of Summer Challenge, where I’ve committed (perhaps foolishly) to doing something exciting every single day of summer.

Now, when I envisioned “exciting,” I was thinking: ziplining, salsa dancing, chasing sunsets, maybe befriending a goat on a mountain hike. You know—vibes.

Instead, today greeted me with grey skies, soggy slippers, and the cruel reminder that there's a reason nobody likes Mondays.

So, what did I do? I faced the music. And by “music,” I mean the hum of the washing machine, the hiss of the iron, and the romantic swish of a mop. Household chores: the unsung heroes of rainy day survival.

But alas, adventure must prevail!

So I turned to my trusty knitting needles. Yes, I know what you’re thinking:

“Knitting? Exciting?”

But have you ever dropped a stitch and tried to fix it without crying? That’s adrenaline, baby.

I grabbed a ball of wool (a mysterious shade I’ll call ‘Soggy Sunrise”), and I started stitching my way into greatness. Or at least into...something.

What will it become? A scarf? A sock? A willy warmer?

Who knows.

All I can say is: watch this space. Because this summer, even Mondays and rain can't dull my sparkle—or my stitches.
