Photoless news

In between making bamboo skewer DPN’s and dyeing some wool for my destashing spree, ( More socks to come ) I took some time to answer Lolly’s questionnaire for the Socktoberfest. I’ll try to have pictures on this coming week-end when my daughter will...

4C degrees

It gave me a shock. It's the first time this season that it's so cold. I am not ready for this yet. Well, in a way, that means hibernating: staying home more often, cuddling under a quilt to watch tv, cooking wonderful soups and stews... not such a bad...

Weekly news, good ones.

I came back from a week-end in the mountains to a wonderful message from telling me I won one of their great gifts for the Isn't it wonderful?! I am looking forward to see it in my mailbox! This is so exciting! I cheated a bit...not for the gift of course...

Nothing new under the sun

No decision was taken, I am still wondering if I should spin or not. Call me fatalistic, I think that if I am to spin, something will happen for me to take the decision: I'll meet a teacher, will find a wheel I can afford or even nothing will happen at...

To spin or not to spin?

Lately, I've been asking myself that question far too often. While cleaning my studio cupboards, I am always bothered by the pillow covers filled with fleece and rovings. Those take a lot of good storage space and while I am sure the brown ones will probably...

Emotions

Can’t write a post this week without talking about it. Only a month ago, my baby was leaving the nest, heading for the big town where she would stay for 9 months and live by herself. Quite a source of worry for a mother already, when someone on a forum...

Buzy week but I knitted

Once I subscribed to a KAL... it was Candle Flame. I was rapidly overwhelmed by the speed of some and left far behind so I just forgot about it and ended up by ripping it all to use the yarn for something else. This time, we are only two in that KAL......

Choosing knitting needles

I rarely go to a LYS. The nearest one is 40 miles from here, they don't speak French ( which is my first language and believe me, I write English much better than I speak ) so most of the time I prefer to mail order. Usually, I plan my purchases so I...

Moving or not moving?

More and more , Canalblog give me error messages, server unavailability or various other messages which makes it time consuming and frustrating to write my posts. Earlier this morning I wrote a post and when I clicked to post it, I just lost everything....

WHY, OH WHY?

I am not a good knitter. I know it. Knitting doesn't come naturally for me and I am really slow at it even though I learned 30 years ago and knitted on and off since then. Slow means that it took me 9 months to finally complete the Lacy Prairie Shawl...
