The sun is almost over the trees and Brad is off to pick up our grandchildren and head to church. I’m staying home today because the antibiotic I’m taking has my stomach upset. Such is life. Still, it looks to be a gorgeous day.
I’m almost ready to start the heels on the current pair of socks and I’m well into Mark Levin’s book, “American Marxism.” I recommend reading it if you want to understand what is going on in this country and the world today. Basically, it’s nothing new under the sun. Just the same old communist crap with a different wrapper being sold as a new snake oil for the 21st century.
I am a Native Texan, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Catholic Convert residing in rural North East Texas since 1975 when I married my husband and this small town girl became a country girl.
I was taught to knit at the age of ten and discovered the writings of Elizabeth Zimmerman shortly after I married. I learned to ‘unvent’ things as I went along, to create my own patterns and generally have a blast with yarn and needles.
In the mid 1980’s I explored the idea of spinning my own yarn and eventually got interested in weaving on a floor loom. I have three spinning wheels and a 24″ four-shaft Herald floor loom that I purchased from a friend in the 1990’s.
I also enjoy sewing, tatting and making rosaries. I have a work room that contains my fiber, yarn, floor loom, sewing machines, serger and rosary making supplies. I have a spinning corner in a bedroom next to my work room, both with north windows looking toward the creek.
