spinning injury???
i’m so happy that folx are finding the coil article thinggie i did for the new issue of knitty useful & helpful. look! proof!
speaking of the the new issue of knitty, i love all those sockie patterns! i especially love the fact that they are featuring handpaints. go go knitty editors, you have your fingers on the pulse of what is going on! (duh, like that was ever really in doubt.)
i’m pretty shocked at the amount of people who stopped by this here blog yesterday. i mean, i knew i was going to get some hits, but, youza.
then it dawned on me that my blog is, um, not very interesting? well, folx, sill more of the same. i gots nothin.
well, not entirely true.
i’ve got a ‘prize cuke’
it isn’t winning any prizes now, but, just you wait! it is the showcase of the upper garden. (not saying too much, since the lower garden is doing rather poor.)
i also have some lovley peas. (now if only i can stop matt from picking and munching on them willy nilly)

somehow, i’ve developed a spinning injury. my first.
i pulled something in the back of my treadle leg. i think it has something to do with spinning upwards of 100 yards of coils the other day.
(do the math, that is alot of yarn. heh.) i think i spun well over 3k yards of yarn this week. i digress, the back of my leg is all hurty, from the knee region, to my foot.. (and my foot goes numb on occasion… whaaaa???) i have poor circulation anyway, but i can tell this is different.
anyway, i’m going to push thru it and finish this today.
big blue (yes, like the ox)
(it won’t be as big as the pound of sunshine) but that’s okay by me. after spinning that, i kind of lost my thick and thin mojo for a few days. hopefully, i can get it washed and it will dry in time for an update of the shop tomorrow.
well, kids are up; and i should get some more coffee!
yum! coffee!

Cuke looks great so far! Peas, too. I didn’t put veggies in this year - in my experience, if it ain’t good gardening weather here by June 1, my garden just ain’t gonna produce. Of course, veggie gardening here is a bit of a slap dab kinda thing and if I approached it more methodically, I’d probably have better results.
Love the coiled yarn tutorial!

Sorry ’bout the leg, bummer! My kids are still sleeping and were SO cranky yesterday after staying up late on Tuesday I don’t want to see them till 9:00 but good luck with that. I shall try to get them to the pool early today to wear them out!

Maybe its time for a double-treadle? Or some ben-gay?

Congratulations on appearing in Knitty!
I’m overly busy with moving right now so I’m only skimming blog posts. But that caught my eye. Way to go.

it’s perfectly alright not to have anything to talk about. The world doesn’t have to be spinning out of control for an update. I know I love hearing about just the little things people think about. And when all else fails, take pictures of your yarn or feet! Hehe, I do hope your leg feels better though!

Yes, there’s more to life than…oops, I’d better stop now.
NICE garden produce. I miss garden-fresh stuff like that.
Good luck with the sprained leg thingy.
