Heidi, I tried tatting and also struggled with it.

We had rain last night and this morning. It was dry for several hours in the early afternoon, but it's been misting out with some fog since then. But the temps are mild so at least bundling up from the cold won't be necessary until late next week. In the meantime it will be mild, but with bouts of rain some days.

My sister and I are at the laundromat. Everything is in the dryers so we'll been home in a while where I'm going to make a spaghetti dinner.
