I’ve gotten quite a bit accomplished on the cowl the past few days in between housework and errands. And I finally got a decent photo showing very close to true colors on the cowl. I had intended to post something yesterday but we were in house cleaning mode and wanted to get as much doneContinue reading “Knitting & Housework”

I hadn’t planned to do any spinning today but I’ve been feeling great, no muscle problems to speak of, so I got in another hour of plying today in a couple of thirty minute sessions, and I am well satisfied with the result. I’m almost an inch into the kettle dyed yarn on the cowlContinue reading “Daily Spinning”

I finished plying the BFL/Tussah earlier today and decided to start plying two more full bobbins. I’m not sure without looking it up, but I think the purple singles are Polworth. In any case I’ve got a good start on plying them. Photo seems a bit blurry, I’ll do better next time. I am finishedContinue reading “Plying Away”

I had hoped to be further along with the purple yarn on the cowl project, but it seems that I strained a muscle in my right arm raising a window that needs some WD-40 to make it easier to open. Oh, well. Such is life. It’s always something! My right bicep is aching after anContinue reading “A Little Progress Is Better Than None”

The clutter is put away, I have room to work and the top of my desk is clean. I had been in the middle of inventorying my hand-spun yarn when we both started feeling ill and there were still half a dozen bags of yarn on the table I use as a winding station thatContinue reading “Order Has Returned”

I’ve finally finished the cranberry red yarn and knitted a few rounds with the purple that I chose. The section I just finished measured 13″, longer than I expected, and I figure the purple will be a similar length or a tad shorter. The whole thing has grown so much I had to grab aContinue reading “Not A Lot Going On”

The promised rain is upon us and it began sprinkling a few minutes ago. Every little bit will help and there is more rain on the way tomorrow. I was going to start a load of laundry but hearing thunder has dissuaded me from that chore. Not going to have appliances running during a thunderContinue reading “Happy Hump Day”

I intended to post something for May 1st and got involved with stuff and forgot. Better late than never. We had a dog show up yesterday evening and it spent the night on our porch. I took a photo and posted it in our area FB group. No help. This morning Brad remembered about theContinue reading “May Has Arrived”

It’s been five weeks. FIVE weeks since Brad and I have been battling upper respiratory crud. The coughing was the worst of it and I’m glad that is behind us. Today I am actually wearing clothes, not a nightgown. I am wearing my orthotics and shoes, and a pair of denim slacks that were aContinue reading “Life Has Returned To Normalcy”

It’s been a very green, very damp Spring in our little corner of Texas so far. No wonder so many people are having acute allergy symptoms! I’m back on another course of antibiotics and a ninety day course of Rx allergy meds to get this under control. It’s been around 70°, humid and windy here.Continue reading “Normal Is Getting Closer!”
