bumpy frog
my forays in knitting have been unadventurous and futile lately.
i wanted to make a special person, some slipper socks; using this yarn, (’i caught you a delicious bass’) that came from these batts but it just isn’t working.. they are working up far too large, and i’m not clear of the felt-y-ness of the yarn.. (here is the one instance where a felted swatch wouldn’t help in the least, since the fiber content is utterly random…)
i suppose i’ll make some new yarn, in ‘her’ colors, i just hope that it won’t take away from the ’special-ness’ of the project.
(i suppose, it is all about intention tho, right??)
i’ve had some adventures in the land of silk noils.
lets just say, i won’t be doing much more of it, any time soon…
too textured for my taste.
and hard to capture!
but you can clearly see it in batt form.
(45% silk noil, 45% wool, 10% nylon)
in other news, i chopped off a few pounds of hair last night.
i’m a baldhead again. (well, not totally bald; it is about 1/4 of an inch long, except for what used to be bangs.)
it is cute and butchy and i love it. it is especially fun to touch.
it makes me feel a bit spunky, like 30 again!
today is the day i need to get to the grocery and that jazz.
it would be really nice to play a round of disc golf but it looks like it may rain.
(then get cold again) boo-hiss winter! c’mon spring!
