I knit on my sock during this craft show.

Next one is soon and I will be happy to be outside and around more people I know. Plus my table is bigger and I feel better a little streched out.

I may even put out some of my handspun yarns...I have aquired a huge basket of it. But how do you price such a thing? What about the not quite perfect yarns?

I love them all but will I really use them all.

Happy knitting.

Not Much



Not much got done on the sock yesterday. That is Trekking XXL yarn in a very pleasing color. I think of it as Rhasberry pie.



The yarn knot was yucky. It may have involved scissors.





Knit on.

Back on track

So to get back on track and enough mail room woes.

I have made some fun key chains with my lampwork beads and icord. They are fun. I am not sure what I am going to do with them but I have enjoyed making little i cords on sock needles. it takes no thinking and no purling...which is odd. I love hwo there is a ladder then you just pull and it becomes a worm.

They do remind me of worm scarves but atlas all the worms I know don't need a scarf.

So who is reading the new HP?

I bet you are.

Sure


Every feel knotty

This knotty piece of wood is how I feel today. My stomach is all knotted....not because I am ill. But I am sick of my Mail going wonky. I think I have angered some postal God.

The post office is eating my mail. No not the nice calm mail that comes to my home that makes it. But the mail I send to other people is not getting there. Not in the normal 3 - or the weird 5 -10 its not getting there at all.

Now granted my US mail has made it with one exception. But my posts to Canada are ending up I don't know where. They darn well better be a knitter because they have a bounty of stitch markers. OK not a bounty but six sets. That's a lot. One persons only made it there on the third try. Three times I sent it.

I just don't understand.... My stomach is all knotted up and I feel like crying.... Really.

sigh.

The limits are endless this week. I have not got any thing done but I feel on top of the world.

If you look close you can see Scott flying his kite.

The beach holds something very special to me.

Have a great weekend all.

ERGGGGGGGGG


I am not normally upset at the mail. BUT I AM. I have mailed hundreds of things over the last couple years. Some far some near but never have I had as much trouble getting things where then need to go as I have in the last month.



I am going to take a deep breath and hold it. Do a few ooooOOoooOoommhhhs and relax. I need a Pneumatic tube system like we have in the hospital. Just plop it in and ship it off.




Solutions to my problems.




1. I am going to try a different post office


2. I am going to bulk up my packages in hopes they qualify for a package and not a large envelope.




Has anybody else had any issues is it just me and something I am doing.




Frustrated....but going to the beach to work on my Mariah . . who has languished for several months.

Think Pink.

Pink has been my color for the last couple weeks. I have made pink lampwork beads and pink i cord snakes. I have also been spinning in shades of deep deep pink with flashes of purple. Its adult mohair but I really like it and it is quite soft.

These beads are not made by me but I love them. The bottoms remind me of daisy flowers all smiling up.

The summer time fun here is grand but the heat is too too hot.

Knit on.
