I’m enjoying some plain stocking stitch knitting on a size 3 needle. I’ll need to go stash diving soon to decide on the next yarn for the cowl. I should be able to make a decent dent in the left-over fingering yarn for this project. It’s been cool, cloudy and damp today. Brad was outContinue reading “Made A Little Progress”

It’s Spring In February, Sort Of
It’s in the mid 70’s today and was near 80° earlier this afternoon. It’s just after 5 pm and we’ve had the house open enjoying the fresh air. It’s cloudy, but still a nice day. I’ve spent the afternoon working on Brad’s socks and puttering around on the laptop, enjoying what’s going on with TwitterContinue reading “It’s Spring In February, Sort Of”
A Day Of Rest
The weekend is rapidly coming to a close and I’ve enjoyed the rest and relaxation. I didn’t even do any knitting today after finishing the Hitchhiker Shawl yesterday. I don’t usually do selfies…but I wanted a photo of the shawl so… I used my cell phone and the auto click button that came with theContinue reading “A Day Of Rest”
Recalculating…
I had thought to be finished with this plying project by now but it seems I’ve been overdoing the spinning thing lately, requiring a second visit to the chiropractor this week due to muscle spasms in my upper back. So today will be a ‘rest in the recliner and knit’ day instead of sitting atContinue reading “Recalculating…”
Another Rainy Day In Texas
We went to bed to the sound of thunder last night and woke up to more of the same this morning. We’ve had a steady rain since last night and it’s 12 Noon now. This is supposed to taper off and clear out in a couple of hours according to the forecast from last night.Continue reading “Another Rainy Day In Texas”
Good Day To Spin
I’ve been spinning on and off this afternoon and went from 2.5 ounces to 3.0 ounces before taking a break… …and stopped at 5 pm with 3.5 ounces on the bobbin. This leaves me with half an ounce to finish this bobbin, put it beside the first bobbin on my lazy kate and start plyingContinue reading “Good Day To Spin”
It’s Warming Up!
I waited a little late to get an optimal photo of the ice on the Ash trees. It’s above freezing for the first time in days and the sound of melting ice and dripping water is all around outside. The gutters are trickling water nonstop. We got a little freezing drizzle during the night, henceContinue reading “It’s Warming Up!”
Not Much Going On
The snow is gone, it’s still above freezing but will dip down below 30° tonight. I’ve spent the day in the recliner with a case of the sniffles and a bit of a cough from sinus drainage. Typical winter stuff in our area when the weather waffles back and forth this time of year. GladContinue reading “Not Much Going On”
Happy Roc Day!
Today is Roc Day, or St. Distaff’s Day. Time to get back to work after the Christmas holiday. I still have an ounce to spin to finish the first bobbin of BFL/Tussah Silk I’ve been working on. I’ll stick to that for the time being instead of ‘sampling’ a different fiber for the fun ofContinue reading “Happy Roc Day!”
Elon Strikes Again, And Again
Yesterday was quite interesting. James O’Keefe, Emerald Robinson, Matt Couch, Mike Lindell and others had their accounts on Twitter restored. Then there was installment #6 of the Twitter Files aimed at the FBI. Fox was losing their collective minds starting with “Elon Musk’s Twitter Massacre” on The Five over Musk suspending ‘journalists’ who were doxxingContinue reading “Elon Strikes Again, And Again”
