In the fiber world a UFO is an Un Finished Object, or unfinished project. This cowl has been on the needle since last Fall when I started it, set it aside, and promptly forgot about it. It’s an easy knit, ninety stitches on a 16″ size 4 needle using fingering yarn. It’s a perfect projectContinue reading “Restarting A UFO”

Time For A Staycation
We’ve both had about all the housecleaning we, or our sinuses, can stand for the time being so we’re taking the weekend off from Fall Cleaning. I’m on the verge of a sinus/ear infection and taking homeopathics to keep it under control. Time to enjoy what we’ve accomplished around the house and get some restContinue reading “Time For A Staycation”
Interesting Development
I’m very definitely NOT going to use ribbing on the top of these socks. I gave it a try and it’s too difficult to see the purl stitches. So. Plain stocking stitch it is for the feet on this pair and I’ll just knit a couple of inches of ribbing at the top of theContinue reading “Interesting Development”
We Did It!
The prayers of a faithful people have been answered today on the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Roe vs Wade has been overturned. It is now up to the states to decide the question of abortion and at last count there are fourteen states that have outlawed abortion including Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana andContinue reading “We Did It!”
Blocked, Ready to Wear
This is a very comfy shawl, soft and drapes well. It’s great to have a finished project out of my own hand-spun yarn. I’m ready for cooler fall weather when it arrives. In the meantime, it’s 100° outside and 73° in the house. We have the ceiling fans running so it’s nice and cool inside.Continue reading “Blocked, Ready to Wear”
Finished Ludlow Shawl
I cast off the shawl yesterday evening and put it in to soak this afternoon. It is currently pinned out on the blocking mats drying on the bed under the ceiling fan . I’ll get another photo after it’s dry. Pinned out it is 72″ across the top edge and 33″ deep from the topContinue reading “Finished Ludlow Shawl”
Interesting Afternoon
I made the trip to Lewisville today to see my naturopath, Dr. Shawn, at The Whole Body Healing Center on N. Mill St. My route there took me down SH 289 to SH 380 to the Dallas North Tollway to the Sam Rayburn Tollway and Business 121 into Lewisville. I was tooling along nicely onContinue reading “Interesting Afternoon”
Got My Groove Back
Yesterday afternoon I began to feel human again. Danged sinus infection! I’ve managed to stay out of the doctor’s office and treat it with homeopathics and OTC sinus medication. I’m getting quite a stack of washcloths made while reading at the same time. I tried working on my socks while reading but it’s a bitContinue reading “Got My Groove Back”
Arctic Cold Front is Here
This photo was taken several years ago, fortunately nothing like this is in our forecast, just high winds and below freezing temps. It’s a little after 7 pm and I just switched the heat pump over to emergency heat. It’s down to 37°. It was a nice day with sunny skies. Then the clouds movedContinue reading “Arctic Cold Front is Here”
Fighting Seasonal Crud
I keep several things on hand for when allergy and cold symptoms get me down. The Boiron allergy tabs dissolve under the tongue, the homeopathic drops that I get from my naturopathic doctor are held under the tongue for a couple of minutes, Oscillococcinum (in the bubble pack in front) is great when I’m feelingContinue reading “Fighting Seasonal Crud”
