Every once in a while I ask someone who has left a comment how they found my blog. Recently someone said they just clicked the “Next” button at the top of the blog. Hmph. I’d only done that once or twice and didn’t see anything interesting. This morning we harvested in the lavender field but…
DetailsI’m tinkering with things other than sticks and string at the moment. var gaJsHost = ((“https:” == document.location.protocol) ? “https://ssl.” : “http://www.”);document.write(unescape(“%3Cscript src=’” + gaJsHost + “google-analytics.com/ga.js’ type=’text/javascript’%3E%3C/script%3E”)); var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(“UA-xxxxxx-x”);pageTracker._trackPageview(); Good things are coming! The yarn shop page is in progress and Summer in the Foothills is now available for purchase in the pattern…
DetailsI’ve been in need of a new computer for some time because my iBookG4 was limping along pretty badly. Some days all I could do was hold down the off/on key and walk away. Friday my new MacBook arrived! I’m getting familiar with it and this evening I played with the photo booth for the…
DetailsThe merry month of May is drawing to a close and I’ve got a few more yarns to add to the Yarn Shop. Below you’ll see a parade of Oak Barn Merino lace-weight yarns. I’ve fallen in love with this merino yarn. It is my go-to yarn. This is the yarn I use for swatching…
DetailsIn previous posts I’ve shown you a video of Cordero Farms and a link to Country Garden Farm, two of the Lost City Knits Oklahoma Fiber Partnership farms. A photo visit to those farms will be shared soon. Today Chris is shipping off two more boxes of clean raw fiber to the mill for me…
DetailsHere on the farm we’ve survived a few heavy storms and it seems that the sunny season has finally arrived. Chris has been harvesting the first bundles of lavender, while I’ve been busy in the studio making soap, washing fleeces and dyeing like a woman possessed. Late last week we picked up our food coop…
DetailsThis thing we call life. It’s fairly simple. We can make it complicated, oh we can do that. But on this late spring evening sitting on an overturned galvanized bucket in a recently mowed pasture watching a gray heron cross overhead, and two of four dogs playing tag while the others watch, I am thankful…
DetailsSee all the cool stuff? Those are from my journal swap partner. Her name is Jinn and she’s amazing. What pray tell is a journal swap partner? Here’s the skinny. On Ravelry there are groups for all sorts of hobbies and interests beyond just knitting. As some of you may know I’ve been keeping a…
DetailsMy allergies have been in an uproar for a week. Now my throat is ragged and I’m on a hot tea diet. Thank goodness for my Mug Cozy! I can take the tea with me to the studio and work.
DetailsMore than a week ago I bound off my Summer in the Foothills scarf late on Friday night. I quickly put it on the blocking wires after minimal soaking. I could have gotten one or maybe two more repeats of the center leaf chart but I was in a hurry. Why rush when there is…
