two knits of ivory

Here's an oldie but goodie. 100% Superwash Merino fiber in the Day Tripper colorway. I purchased this from the Woolen Rabbit how many years ago? A smattering of a single has been wound dolefully, (because fiber can be doleful, it can), on the active bobbin of my neglected wheel for a long, long while. Monday and Tuesday I spun up the remainder of this braid. Lighting fast. A note stashed in the bag indicates I spun somewhere in the vicinity of 28 grams. Has my spinning mojo returned, or is this a fluke? Details at 11. Last Friday the Madelinetosh Pashmina purchases arrove (proper English - arrived). It is gorgeous, fantabulous, stuff. Norway Spruce Terrarium Filigree The Shetland Triangle I had begun in the Sundara ASM was tossed aside (and later, frogged) in favor of knitting up another Ishbel with the Filigree. The name of this project? Ishbel of the Sea. The colors of this yarn are so beautifully dyed, the yarn shimmers iridescent like the scales of a fi...

Madtosh DK in Logwood Okay, so yarn can't jingle or jangle. But these are the words that my muse calls forth. She speaks, I write. "So sue me," as we used to say back in the day. I've started my ninth Shetland Triangle...in Sundara ASM. Sundara ASM in Marina over Icicles Yum Yummity Yum Yum, Yum Yum Yum Yum. I didn't get any conventional shots of the last two shawls I finished, my Fjording Shetland and the Mint Chocolate Chip Ishbel. Here's a pic of the latter taken by muse: I bought this ridiculously expensive purse back in June or July and so I've spent the summer saving my pennies up again, with nary a skein stashed in e.o.n.s. After finishing up this merino/cashmere blend Ishbel I fell off the wagon and bought a six pack of Madelinetosh's Pashima , which is merino, silk, and cashmere. Ooh la la. I've got a motif design bonging around in my brain. It refuses to coalesce. That's why I started the Shetland. I need ...

My thoughts come to me in song. Why is that? Lots of bibble babble (w)rankling around in my noggin'. The irony of Keanu Reeves in the Matrix trilogy, starting from the first moment of the first movie, is that his character, Neo, has a preternatural love connection to mankind. Yet Keanu, the actor, has a notoriously blank visage. I guess that allows the viewer to project their own selves onto the screen. Is that genius or accident? Watched The Runaways . Not sure if I like it yet - opinion still in the computational phase. I lurv when I knit a hole in my cake: I knit an Ishbel in eight days. Eight days. Booyah. Hubby offhandedly commented on the fact that I have a lot of shawls, as if to say "umm, do you need more shawls?" What I see that is different about me is that I like to do the same thing over and over again. Knit the same pattern, listen to the same soundtrack, rewatch a season of a TV show, reread/relisten to the Twilight series. My in...
