My goodness!
Not so impressive… This is how it has pretty much looked all winter…
(But, what is rather impressive is, the temperature! We have double digits! After a week of solidly below zero 90% of the day. Whoo hooo!)
Note the wind damage to the tree on the left, the top is gone. This week a bunch of our trees took a beating.. Our apple trees were especially hard hit.
It has been almost an eternity since I’ve posted a Saturday Sky. I thank you Sandy, for not ruling your webring with an iron fist of doom. For not kicking me out for either my “extremist politics” or my lack of Saturday Sky shots.
I know I mentioned something about posting some shots of my finally finished Pinwheel blanket. But, I’ve been slacking. For a few reasons… Restless kiddos (5 has been on skool vay-cay for over TWO weeks now & 3, well, my sweet little boy won’t leave my side for longer than two minutes…) And well, the blanket, tho, I love it dearly, really isn’t pretty….. (If you have been reading this here blog since way back when I started it, you will remember the yarn was spun at random from all scrap/waste wool from the 200lb bag of scrap/waste I have sitting here.) So, the color combos may hurt the eyes …. Hey, I was trying to recycle my waste, not really make an heirloom. (And, yes, more and!!) It is choc-fulla glaring knitting errors! Riddled, I would say.) So, perhaps on a day when I’m feeling braver…
Speaking of being brave, I suppose it is time I say something publicly…. (Some of you know & I’ve dropped some hints here and there….)
I’ve been signed to write a fibery book.
That might explain my long absences from the blogosphere as of late. (My excuse from before that, laziness.)
Anyway, it’s a bunch of work, and I’m on a super tight deadline, but I’m up for the challenge.. It’s incredible to imagine I can write about what I love to do…
Speaking of my writing… The new Knitty is up, and with that brings the latest installment of “Get Spun” in Knittyspin.
It’s all about the hemp…. Hemp, hemp, hurrah!
I hope you enjoy it & find it useful in your fibery adventures! (If not, I’m apparently up a creek, no?)
