I just wrote this line in an email to a friend. It bears repeating.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(); What I want is to sit and knit in front of the fire. Hike in the woods. Knit some more. Drink cocoa. Knit,…
While Autumn has been quietly advancing I feel as if I have been rushing about and too busy to enjoy the beauty, the colors, the brisk air, and the wind. But not for long.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(); The wind –…
As forecasted the rain began yesterday. And continued. It may sound a bit strange (but if you know me you’re used to me being strange – yes?) but I absolutely love heavy rains. Yes they make for a mess and can be dangerous. I love the deafening sounds of heavy rain. I love the roaring…
An estimated seven inches of rain should fall here in the next two days. I’m looking forward to the isolation, the quiet, the comfort food. Some knitting, some reading, a good fire in the wood stove. 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”)); Life is good.…
The current reading material is a novel loaned to me by Christopher’s father Paul. Vindication is a novelized telling of the great feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft‘s life. Paul recently read this novel for his book group. He has a very good sense of what I enjoy reading and asked if I’d like to borrow it…
Remember that post by me about casting on Shipwreck with my hand-dyed llama yarn? It wasn’t meant to be. I frogged the llama yarn and put it back the side of my desk. Llama yarn just doesn’t have the right elasticity for that project. I loved the yarn (from a dear friend’s llama) and loved…
Why is that I can finish enormous complicated lace projects but I can’t finish a dang thing with sleeves? 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(); Second sock syndrome – not a problem. Sleeves can stop a project dead in it’s tracks.…
Sometimes it is the little luxuries that make me happy. Like having mailboxes again after six months. They made it through the weekend without being demolished. I’m feeling pretty optimistic.
My blue phase continues with the Shipwreck Shawl , but my Shipwreck will take place in a clear blue sky with lush llama yarn! This yarn is from my friend Lisa‘s llama “Ally”. Ally is actually a cream colored gal but I’ve been playing in the dye pot and like the results. Llama yarn is similar…
Who wears silk and beads in the boondocks? Well – me apparently! The Blue Silk Aeolian is off the wires and will be going to Kat tomorrow who will take it to the Tulsa State Fair competition for me while we’re in Winfield. I pulled the pins and wires out this afternoon so we could…
