If I could spend an afternoon with you my spinning mojo might return. You do such beautiful work.

WIP Wednesday: May 23, 2012
SPINNING PROJECT: As I thought, with D and I in Denver over the past weekend, I didn't get a lot of spinning done, but I am working on the "Burly" BFL and I've gotten perhaps 3 oz of the 4 spun up. I'd like to try to get this first 4 oz spun up, and then I'll be ready to tackle the 4 oz of the...
Bhen was a gentleman and I was privileged to have met him (and Sam). I am crying for you, so saddened by this news.

Bhen
Once D and I decided the youngsters needed to go to new homes, I had been worried about Bhen. I think I've mentioned he had lost his eyesight - just had slight peripheral movement that he could catch out of his left eye and that was it - so I knew he was very dependent on the other two for warn...
You found good homes for your boys and they'll be well cared for. You've had a rough year, so taking care of yourself can become top priority.

C-C-C-Changes
D and I had a nice, perhaps somewhat subdued trip to Denver. We went out to dinner, read a book in the hotel room on Saturday while it rained/snowed a bit, did some shopping went to a museum, but the main reason we drove up to Denver was to effect some changes in things around here. Some of you...
LOVE! It's gorgeous!

There's No Place Like Paris
A year ago, I was just returning from a lovely trip to Paris (and Amsterdam!) with my sister. We've both found our thoughts returning to Paris lately. I think it's just something about . . . Paris in the spring. Such a perfect time. . . to be in such a perfectly delightful place! For my bir...

Just Two This Tuesday!
Carole's on vacation this week, so no Ten on Tuesday topic. Instead, I thought I'd share these two. . . Perfect little wine glasses! For a sip while reading . . . or knitting! (Thanks, Tom!) ========== You can find 'em here!
*waving* Waving to you from behind the stacks. I hope you find time to come out and have some fun!

A Clear Desk is Totally Overrated
(Photo of my early-blooming rhododendron. Because who really wants to see my desk right now.) My desk always reflects my level of "busy." If things are neat and tidy - if you can actually see the wood-grain of the surface - if means that things are at a lull and I have some extra time on my ...
I'm lovin' it! Having a project that keeps you knitting while doing life's day to day is better than candy. You look marvelous. I love the edging, too!

Pour a Little Sugar On It, Baby!
Soundtrack time. . . (Wow. Animation has come a long way since my childhood!) I always have at least one project that doesn't take too much concentration on the needles. You know. . . a project that you can do while watching television, or talking on the phone, or traveling as a passenger in...

Congratulations on your second year! The sky scarf looks much bluer than mine. We've had lots of cloudy days, with pale blue thrown in. Love all the socks!

A Month of Sock Knitting, Skywatching and a Sweater
Happy Valentine's Day! It snowed this morning, for the first time all winter, when it really is heading into spring. I wanted to share the results of my New Year's resolution, and that you really can build a new habit or skill by just spending 20 minutes a day, hee, hee. I managed to get the ...

I'm not a fan of cotton/wool blend socks. They are hard and not warm enough for winter. We have winter. 3" of snow and it's 17 this morning. We may even have more snow coming! yay!

Where's Winter?
Do those of you who knit or pursue other crafts look forward to winter? I know that for as much as I love the warm time of the year and all the outdoor activities in my life, I also look forward to being forced inside by bad weather. It gives me the excuse to lay up in a chair and knit to my h...
How totally wonderful that your machine is now working! You had it in a box when we met and it's so cool to see you have it now creating tubes of yarn for so many reasons. Love it and the way it works. how fun to watch a fabulous machine like that create something new today. Smith is totally envious.

CSM is My New Year's Resolution
Those who have followed my blog for a long time know that I am the owner of an antique circular sock knitting machine (CSM) though not the successful user of one. My heavens, it's even a category over there on my sidebar! For all the good that wishful thinking has done me. Well, as the farm s...
