Lazy Day

hurray...finally got the little book to link to amazon! today is a lovely light snowy day, went for a run with paul and rae. alissa painted a pretty little water color johnny jump up - this will be my christmas present - we just need to get a suitable frame. i'll upload a picture of it as soon as i figure out how. i've been taking a stab at my first lace knitting project. i bought some gorgeous purple mohair yarn at rhinebeck - haiku from alchemy. it's to be a scarf for my mother in-law, but so far i'm not loving the lace experience - i was all excited to use my lantern moon needles with this yarn, but the needles are too blunt to pick up the fine yarn - it's been excruciating. word on the street is that bryspuns might be a better choice. can't wait to get to the woolly lamb on monday - gosh i hope they're open on mondays.
