Singing of Hope: January 2015
http://singingofhope.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Ganger Teas and Wool. Well worth the wait. We like to keep busy in my family. Not that we like to go places (we're homebodies, to be honest). But we like to work with our brains and hands an awful lot. My mom is expert chef and Sudoku master. My brother alternates his time between building his quad-copter and perfecting his guitar talent. My sister does beautiful crafting, which you can check out on her blog. You may have guessed by the pictures. Links to this post. And consistently I have seen marvelous...

Singing of Hope: Fisherman's tales
http://singingofhope.blogspot.com/2015/06/fishermans-tales.html
Ganger Teas and Wool. The way girls roam over the earth now is something terrible. It always makes me think of Satan in the Book of Job,. Going to and fro and walking up and down. I don't believe the Lord ever intended it, that's what.". Rachel Lynde in Anne of the Island. Aside from the lighthouses that you are first drawn to at Wood Islands (more on these another time). When a person lives near the water, there is a good chance that he fishes. Since Prince Edward Island is, well, an island. Little insi...

Singing of Hope: June 2015
http://singingofhope.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Ganger Teas and Wool. The luxuries of rain. I have chosen my spot today, a nook where I have been enjoying the glorious feeling of doing nothing. My week has been (in my humble opinion) terribly busy, and I am only too happy to be sitting with my sweater to knit and a book to read. My sweater, which I first mentioned two months ago. Is moving along nicely. After a few months of hectic living, I am settling back in, slowing back down, and finishing what I have begun. The Gibraltar Henley. The shore I have...

Singing of Hope: April 2015
http://singingofhope.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Ganger Teas and Wool. April has proven itself more busy than I anticipated! Is that not how it always goes? Here we are nearing the end.and I am standing on the edge, surprised to see May around the corner! I have another sweater on the needles, but as I am projecting May to be as busy (if not busier) than April, I have a feeling it will be a long-time-coming to fruition. In the end, though, I hope to see the Gibraltar Henley. Did you notice my new banner? I did one for my design site. Enjoy your week sl...

Singing of Hope: Because I like it
http://singingofhope.blogspot.com/2012/07/because-i-like-it.html
Ganger Teas and Wool. Because I like it. Tue Jul 10, 01:21:00 PM EDT. Love the dish towel. Can you control how tight the weave is just by pulling the shuttle and strings tighter or looser together? Does that make sense? Im not really an expert on weaving terms:) I can tell that youre enjoying the new camera. It takes great pictures. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Sister, oh sister. 72012 - 7.22.12. A loom and thread. A busy bee am I. Because I like it. Just like a lady. As for me . . .

Singing of Hope: The final stretch
http://singingofhope.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-final-stretch.html
Ganger Teas and Wool. So again, excuse my blog-posting fervor. Side note: This week is actually only the third week of absolute freedom. I had one in May, one before vacation, and this one that is after vacation. You can imagine, therefore, how I am scurrying about with yarn trailing wherever I go.). The two pictures I have selected for this post are as follows: first are fingerless gloves for my sister, and the second is a pile of dishtowels as of yet unwashed. Too-da-loo, and happy Tuesday!

Singing of Hope: A loom and thread
http://singingofhope.blogspot.com/2012/07/loom-and-thread.html
Ganger Teas and Wool. A loom and thread. By the margin, willow-veil'd Slide the heavy barges trail'd By slow horses; and unhail'd The shallop flitteth silken-sail'd Skimming down to Camelot: But who hath seen her wave her hand? Or at the casement seen her stand? Or is she known in all the land, The Lady of Shalott? And moving thro' a mirror clear That hangs before her all the year, Shadows of the world appear. There she sees the highway near Winding down to Camelot: There the river eddy whirls, And t...

Singing of Hope: May 2015
http://singingofhope.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Ganger Teas and Wool. Garden parties and *HUGS*. Little baby Foxglove and Canterbury Bells. Sprigs of English Lavender (and promises of others! My favorite, the happy Forget-Me-Nots (dressed in a blue too hard to capture). The remaining Irises, frilly all over. And my peppermint, to reenact my delicious Oxford tea. All together issuing a plea for an Edwardian garden party. So, don your Beech Leaf Shawl. I thoroughly enjoyed knitting the shawl. In fact, more and more I am realizing how fun. In the end, th...

Singing of Hope: Favorite new dishtowels
http://singingofhope.blogspot.com/2015/07/favorite-new-dishtowels.html
Ganger Teas and Wool. There has been significant remodeling work being done in my parents' kitchen, and I had one of those inspirational. It had been on my mind for a few months that I have not made dishtowels in a while. In fact, I have made hardly any since the first dishtowels I made about three years ago; I made a whole ton then. But I petered out quickly. And now it's been a while. And stringy. Yet for all my dissatisfaction now. I loved the towel then, and (lo and behold! Here was my prize:. Theref...
