I’ve been thinking about the net and the fiber community lately, for no real reason other than that, well, I guess I’m often thinking about that sort of thing. As long as I’ve been online (which goes back to the era when .com was the least populous domain and email addresses were often bang paths […]

Dear Cassie, It’s been very nice getting to know you online the past little while. I’ve been enjoying our correspondence, and I am thrilled that you’ve been so happy with your Creamsicle fiber. As I think I may have mentioned, the merino/silk/camel blend is absolutely one of my favourites to spin. So I felt very […]

What I feel like doing today: sitting in a recliner knitting on that shawl, drinking lots of coffee. What I will be doing today: packing boxes and making a post office run, and dyeing this pile. Everyone should have such problems, eh what? The several days of rain — for which I’m incredibly grateful, after […]

I spent rainy yesterday tidying a bit. It was a day of impressive thunderstorms. Storm the third for the day was reported on the evening news as having dumped 1.65 inches of rain on this town specifically, in about 90 minutes. Not a good week to want to dry things outside, I suppose. So, I […]

…I’ve decided to make a Sprout. Clearly I’m bingeing on Amy’s work right now, eh? I’ll have to spin something for it. Several of you have suggested a dew themed name for the triangle. I like that. It is now the Dew Drop Shawl… and partly charted. I hope you can guess what that means! […]

Triangle Progress

In-progress shots of lace are always so disappointing. But I’m sure enough of you are lace knitters to know that, and thus be able to do a little light imagining… The Triangle (will somebody name this for me? I am no good at naming things, I fear) has grown to the point of being about […]

Saturday morning dawned, and with the boy at his grandparents’ house we were waking up slowly. Chad made some smart-aleck remark, and I retorted, paraphrasing the episode of “Deadwood” we’d watched the previous night: “I no more need your witticisms than I do a balloonist!” I looked out the bedroom window and there, drifting just […]

Friday morning, and Thursday did result in almost all the batt club boxes making it out the door. The remaining 4 go today, whew! Yesterday also brought me this: Thank you, Amy! As it happens, I was just thinking, “man, I need a little bag to put some of these things on my end table […]

Can’t talk, nose to grindstone!

Well, okay, nose to drum, I guess. Enlarging the Batt Club membership a little means that instead of having a pile of boxes to take to the post office this morning, that pile will be heading out this afternoon, except for a few of you, whose packages I managed to get out the door Tuesday […]

“Wait, mom, you have a blog?”

“Wait,” my son said, “Mom, you have a blog? Like a real blog?” “Of course I do, honey,” I told him, taking another sip of coffee, and wondering exactly what makes a blog a real blog. “Well what is it about?” he asked. “Oh, you know… yarn! What else would I write about all the […]
