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.

Hi Joy - oh my gosh, I'm shocked that I have a comment after only two posts! I pretty much figured no one would ever stumble upon my goofy little blog. Anyhoo...how nice to hear from someone. I read all these knitting blogs and know I could just be instant friends with all these smart women who seem to love all the same things that I love. Sadly I have very few real life friends who "get" the knitting thing - that's why I decided to blog. I love felting. I've made some really cute stuffed animals and a purse, although somehow it still seems wrong to felt all that knitting!

Thanks for your kind welcome. I'm off to check out your site.
