New month
New growth. I see directly across from me a bush (with aspirations to become a tree…I wonder what it is?) draped in that particular “new leaf” green that’s so shocking and yet so very welcome after a long, cold, grey winter. YES!!!
I made bread-in-a-tube this morning and managed not to burn anything. Obviously, watching all that Food Network is paying off. I have managed to conquer Pillsbury! Excellent!
And I may have found something I actually want to make for myself. I’m a little leery of it being 100% linen yarn though. And did you know that there’s a massive number of free patterns on this site? Even for me-sizes? It would be nice to have a big range of tunics like this in a variety of yarns. I’ll have to check it out and hell, maybe doot around the yarn stores tomorrow for this yarn.
It hardly seems like it was only two weeks ago since I went to Madrona. KnitterPatter MUST come and go with me next year. We’ll rent a room, hang out, stitch, bitch, drink, feast and generally just say “neener!” to the world and all it’s troubles. We will knit and I will Borg her into the spinning world, and a good time WILL be had by all. Dammit. Because we both have had a rough year, and we deserve some goodness!
I had all these truly awesome thoughts in my head about Madrona, but then work interfered, and it’s all I can do not to drink the weekend away after a truly craptastic week, so let me just say this in case I haven’t already. I want my own pocket!Ruth Sorenson. I went out and glommed four big ass balls of Kauni from VY&T last weekend with the intent to make hats and fingerless mitts and stuff. And I’m almost done with the hat I started at class, which for me is an amazing feat, given I’ve barely had enough energy to eat when I get home from work.
I’m rambling now. Not unusual, but I have fresh not-really-croissants waiting for me to eat, and then perhaps it’s time for a nap. :D
May March be peaceful and any growth in your personal life be gentle and beautiful!
Oh, yes, please!! As I said to a friend yesterday when we were on a yarn crawl and hit a store that sells LOVELY drop spindles and some nice spinning wheels (Kromskis, I think? Are those good?), maybe I will take up spinning once I move into a house with an actual garret in it! (Assuming the new house works out…)
*mwah*
I did buy loverly sock yarn. Araucania, Lorna’s Laces, Cherry Tree Hill…photos to come on Ravelry one of these days for sure. I got a fresh case of crazy Friday night and spent the whole evening photographing, uploading, and documenting much of my stash. Still many more to add to Ravelry. And my knees are still sore from all the kneeling to take pictures of yarn. Ah, haven’t had an OCD bout like that for a while! It was fun!
