Okay, I mentioned on FB that I have this pile of odd ball fingering.
Jennie suggested I use it to start this year’s winter holiday Stocking. I did one last year, providing various graph charts each week, but I never heard if anyone else was following along to make their own versions. So I’m not sure [...]
Well, actually, hoisting the cane onto my back in order to carry it when I ride my bike:
If you’ve been following along over the years, you know I walk with a cane when I leave the house, mostly because my leg joints hurt, and sometimes they fail to support me. The cane helps with my [...]
While the Gulf oil spill continues to mess up the lives of countless thousands of seafood-business families, let’s imagine back to a better time…
Midnight on the Bayou — Imagine paddling your pirogue gliding toward the island in the middle of the bayou, surrounded by the cypress, listening to the waterworld creatures (perhaps the splash of [...]
Here is a mid-month collection of Dura-Lace: 4 ounces, approx 920 yards, 75% washable wool/25% nylon, and all are $23.50.
You might notice that there seems to be a theme happening with the ones on the left. As it happened, I had to do some Turquoise Fade, and some Midnight Green. So leftover dyes were used [...]
First off, I need to mention that the back-ordered sock yarn is on its way, and should arrive by Friday (or Monday if UPS is late). YAY!
AND, there is a Back To School Special running now through the month of July - get all the sock yarns you need for all your school or team [...]
I dye mostly sock yarns and laceweights. You probably already knew this, right?
And I like to think up ways to use up sock yarn, besides just for socks.
So this afternoon, resting under the shade on the patio, I was drafting out a very cool cover-up to be made of random assorted leftover sock yarns, designed [...]
This is an odd collection. The top bunch was the first attempt to build the proposed Soda Fountain Collection, but it didn’t work the way I wanted. Some of these WILL be joining the regular line-up, as noted below, but not as a collection. The lower bundle (#7-11) was done during a guest’s visit because [...]
What a wonderous lovely mostly-non-working weekend it has been.
Yesterday my landlords invited me for a fish fry at their house, with bunches of their relatives. One of my landlord’s cousins was visiting from Tennessee. We’d chatted via my neighbor (the landlord’s son), so when she came to town for the week she made sure [...]
Here’s a bunch more goodies for you. :-) These will be shipping ON MONDAY (if you purchase before then)
I’ll show the group/overall shots first, and then list them individually down below. (eta: Be sure to check the individual listings to see which ones are sold.)
I “could” have marked the first 6 lace as bundled pairs, [...]
Okay, so I was outside working on the pad, reskeining eleventy-seven hanks.
It was about 90F, heat index 98F, but it felt cooler outside than inside because there was a pleasant breeze blowing out there, and I didn’t have the A/C on in the house. I simply can’t afford to run it 24/7, so I run [...]
