This is a salt-and-pepper-shaker set I bought a few years ago, because it's just so adorably cute. I was reminded of it when Fleegle mentioned in her blog. That she is planning to knit a frog prince. The only consolation is that the days are becoming really nice. Right now our little lilac bush is blooming:. And the jasmine as well:. I’m considering re-working the front, because I just don’t like the large holes resulting from the picked-up stitches:. Funnelneck Sweater - front - big the holes from.

On Dec 12th I took the first of two "Spinning with a Drop Spindle" classes at A Verb for Keeping Warm. In Berkeley with WonderMike. Ravelry name) as our instructor. It was a fun class. I took it, because I have a few yarns I would like to ply together - so I was mostly interested in plying. I bought one of their student spindles (an $18 Schacht top-whorl spindle), and we were supplied with 2 oz of combed Blue Face Leicester fiber - Wonderfully soft - and you can still smell the sheep! Now the twist still...

In the morning the doves were picking at left-over birdseed around a tree in our yard. The sun comes in at a sharp angle to create the stark light-and-dark contrast - almost too much for the camera to handle. A winter morning in California! Here is the current status:. Hanami Stole, 6 Basketweave pattern repeats. My ironing board is now too small to fully show the pinned-out work in progress, and I was too lazy to bring out my blocking board, so I only pinned it partially. SF, Hanami Progress. Basketweav...

GJabouri's Blog: Black "Black Friday"

http://gjabouri.blogspot.com/2009/11/black-black-friday.html

So we decided to have him euthanized, only he fought so hard when they tried to put a catheter in his arm he suffocated from the stress. I wish he would have died a bit easier. As soon as we had buried him yesterday afternoon, it started to rain, and then (a rather rare event here in the SF East Bay) a thunderstorm passed through. Afterwards the porch was bathed in a rather eerie light. It matched our mood. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Tree in Bridges National Monument. Happy Stitches (Lucy Neatby).

Knitting in the Dark: Slack

http://gothicknit.blogspot.com/2004/10/slack.html

Knitting in the Dark. Alone With black yarn. In the rain. Tuesday, October 19, 2004. I have been slacking off on the knitting. But I think tomorrow I will at least cast on for a purple hat. And next time I get paid I will look for interesting yarn for a hat for another person. I still haven't found nice. Dark green wool for the other hat. And I need cotton for a summer knitting project. Cotton is so damn expensive though. Stupid cotton. Posted by Miss Sonia. View my complete profile. Buy my eBay stuff.

Knitting in the Dark: Futurama - Leela Intarsia

http://gothicknit.blogspot.com/2004/12/futurama-leela-intarsia.html

Knitting in the Dark. Alone With black yarn. In the rain. Tuesday, December 07, 2004. Futurama - Leela Intarsia. Digging through some older image files I had, I came across this intarsia chart I made of Leela from Futurama. It's a bit low-res but it could probably go on the end of a scarf or on a hat or something like that. And I remembered that there are a couple of episodes where Dr Zoidberg is knitting.
