There is a downside to how they keep making iPods smaller and lighter, and I think I just found it. I had unplugged the headphones from my iPod after erging, planning to go plug it into a dock to charge. Then apparently I forgot about it when I added my shorts to the laundry I was about to wash. Oops. I’ve put it in a sunny spot to dry out but I don’t have much hope it will ever work again. I will probably replace it next weekend, but I do have another option for the rest of the week: I can load my audiobooks onto my iPod Touch, which is too heavy to clip on while working out but which I can set next to me and use with Bluetooth headphones.
I’m off work today: company policy gives us a day off after an international flight and for once I’ve taken it. Lots to do today: laundry, sewing a fleece lining inside the band of the hat I made for Ted, and embroidering the signatures where we had out Thanksgiving guests sign our tablecloth. I also used the day off to fit in 15km on the erg, which brings me to 100,000 meters on the Holiday Challenge. Halfway through! I only missed one day during my trip, but I’m actually well ahead of schedule.
And here is the hat I made for Ted – click any of the images to enlarge. I particularly like the last picture which shows the inside! You can clearly see the difference between the tvaandstickning (twined knitting) technique on the brim and the stranded knitting in the rest of the hat.
