A knitter's natter: August 2012
http://aknittersnatter.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
From a knitter living in Hampden in the South Island of New Zealand. Thursday, August 30, 2012. Queen of the Night. I used to really enjoy a dress rehearsal on a sunny day when I'd be sitting in the dark at the Opera House, eating minties and watching the dragon at the start of The Magic Flute cavorting, or perhaps galumphing around the stage. And the Queen of the Night - what a crosspatch! Shoving her daughter around and screaming at her to go and kill Sarastro. So nasty and unnecessary.

From a knitter living in Hampden in the South Island of New Zealand. Saturday, June 30, 2012. From the Back of the Cupboard. Twenty or so years ago I bought a copy of Madeline Weston's book The Traditional Sweater Book. It was the second book of traditional designs I had owned. The first was Michael Pearson's Traditional Knitting. Friday, June 29, 2012. I've made a few vintage jumpers from patterns from the 1930s to the 1950s. I've made a design or three for Renaissance Dyeing. There have been useful but...

Bide a wee farm notes. Raising Jacob and Navajo-Churro sheep in Western Oregon. Thursday, December 25, 2008. A Modern Day Christmas Poem. My mom e-mailed me this poem last night. The Night before Christmas. The rural version.). Twas the night before Christmas and out on the ranch. The pond was froze over and so was the branch. The snow was piled up belly-deep to a mule. The kids were all home on vacation from school,. And happier young folks you never did see-. Just all sprawled around a-watchin' TV.

Bide a wee farm notes. Raising Jacob and Navajo-Churro sheep in Western Oregon. Tuesday, April 12, 2011. Lambing finished up here bright and early this morning – hurray!

http://bideaweefarmnotes.blogspot.com/2011/03/easy-keeper.html
Bide a wee farm notes. Raising Jacob and Navajo-Churro sheep in Western Oregon. Friday, March 4, 2011. Talk about an easy keeper! He doesn’t eat, poop, ram things or wander off looking for girls. Meet Capone II…. Jesse Leavitt of Willamina, Oregon, a fellow vendor at the McMinnville Public Market, carved him for us using a photo we provided of Maverick Capone, one of our past Jacob flock sires…. Capone II has been guarding our booth at the market. He’s a favorite with kids and dogs…. Spot On Cedar Pond.

A knitter's natter: Tam Update - A Starry Tale
http://aknittersnatter.blogspot.com/2013/09/tam-update-starry-tale.html
From a knitter living in Hampden in the South Island of New Zealand. Thursday, September 26, 2013. Tam Update - A Starry Tale. Yesterday someone asked me if I'd been knitting any more tams. Well, yes . . . I found some lovely 8-ply alpaca in Doe Arnot and Flagstaff Alpacas range. They had a lot of marled wool in different shades and I thought I'd see how it looked knitted up in Fair Isle tams. I also tried using variegated colours which gave an impressionist look to the tams. Here are some examples:.
