I want to make this. I wonder if I can just buy the pattern.....or figure it out. It is an Hanne Falkenberg kit. Doesn't it look all long and lovely.....lush!

Where is my post

I wrote a great post....It is gone.

Class was great.

Socks

I have socks I want to finish and some I want to make...

At rest

I don't want to put this down. I have less than forty rows to go. Since I have been dog sitting at a house with three channels and one fuzzy channel, I have watched a lot of movies. So I finished a fuzzy rainbow mohair scarf. It is very long....all three of the lord of the rings movie long.

Tomorrow I have my first fair isle class.

Yeah!

yucky

I hate when your yarn muffin pulls out a clump and you can't untangle it so you have to break it......


Snarl!

mEoW MeOw MEOW

Frankie is just hanging around.....Taking up his post under the piano bench but I guess is just

to heavy to hold up and he has to rest his chin on that bar. He is a needy needy cat. This is only one of several very odd new Frankie habbits.

This blurry blob is supposed to be a pic of some stichmarkers and beads on top of my knitting. I had a run in with a dog toy...slimey dog toy. I am trying to decide what color beads I want to put on the bottom. I am thinking round and not bicone but the colors are the same in both. I am thinking the beads will help weight down the bottom and add a little sparkle....I am all for sparkle. The green seems to blend in the most which I think is good but if you hit the light it goes bam.



Whats I been spinning. My keyboard is black so the colors are a little skewed. Its a sea like greens and blues. I heart it.

Its raining and I heart that toooooo.

click those stickies....o tell me about the knit picks needles!

Sinking and shrinking

Sinking that's what I have been doing sinking into the Harry Potter books. Its true I had not read them...Even though Sonny has been bugging me to. SO we went on a beach trip the last weekend of august and I started....I just finished number 6 tonight. Ummmmm J.K. Rowlings hurry up and write some more....PLEASE. Do you know what happens when you google Harry Potter? Don't try it.

I used to read anything I could find. But as an adult staying up and reading 800 plus pages in two sittings is a little harder to do. I still do it but I don't have the ability to sleep through my job like I could math class. But reading a good book is so warm so comforting. I have moved enough that I have taken my rather large collection to the bare bones....It grows still but I haven't kept as many so so books for a while. I am very happy to add the Potter series to my trove. Finishing a book always makes me a little sad. I don't want to leave my friends or never find out how they turn out or end up. Its all in someone's head and I will never know what truly happens. Do you think authors have a final end for there characters in the end? Weather they write another book or not?

What do you think it is that makes a book so good that you want it to continue? I can't imagine having grown up not having read a zillion books as a child. Which is better the adult section or the young adult section of the library? I as a young adult could not stand the young adult section always went to the adult section now I have some of my favorite books that are young adult books.

What book have you stayed up all night to read? Most recently the Potter series but always Little Women has been my kicker.


I was so busy reading I did but knit half a row on my shawl tonight.....But now that I have finished those books I guess I get to press on. ...I am at the last of five repeats of a somewhat boring part of the shawl.

Are you a muggle or a witch?

Little this little that....

Knitting pretty good. Does not look like much...You know how lace looks when its not blocked. Scrumbble bumble all scroochy faced.




looks a little better all spread out. Can you guess which shawl it is? The yarn is silk and quite lovely. Blue moon fiber creation. I went to the Farm house knit wed night knit night. It was a little different than the other knit nights I have gone to. They were all very nice. I hope to be able to go again. The person who dyed my yarn was there...in person I actually met her two nights in week.

So other than making some really silly stitch markers. I was to lazy to go and find my base metal supplies so I used sterling...kindda silly but very pretty. This the necklace I made. It took a long time. But I got to wear it to a musical. Little Women...Very good muscial. You would not think it but I thought it was quite nice.

And finally what has been spinning. Lots of spinning. This is a big bucket and its overfull. But I have had fun.

so you wonder...is this girl still here? ???? Well I am!

I am knitting on a shawl and hope to get some things out in the mail in the next couple days. Some things I made.

I miss talking with you and hope to share all my fiber love in a little while...

Click the sticks!

who....me?

Have you ever dreamed of falling.

Its a fit of maddness to try and catch your self. Being chased ... no....not even falling at break neck speeds. Its a crazy trap to fall but never find the bottom. I always wonder whats at the end. A bed of rose peatals, crocs, may be a nice nest of silk...I don't suppose it matters.

Just a bit of falling. Leaf from a tree that never finds a root.

Well I am not dead. I have not fallen. Nore have I stopped.

I am just at a point where I have no idea how you parents handle all this. I am not a parent but I know that most of you are. You have kids, jobs, lives and still find time to blog and knit. I seem to fail this timing issue. I can job...I have to job. I can knit or spin.....then the world holds still. Like piece of fruit in a jello mold. I bobble and worrble only to finally melt into a pile of gross overly sweet yuckyness.

News... I have lots of news. I have lots of thanks yous. I have not read my email in over a week..... That has to be a record.

The job is good. I am being trained and all sorts of stuff. My trainer is driving me mad with to much nit pick stuff. SO I say Apple instead of Adam. I am an individual....I might add that I am pretty good on a computor and feel very comfortable finding my way around. But with a new system it might take me a couple of trys to get to my destination. My trainer gives me no time.... Chill dude its new...I can find it...yeah I also know when the comp makes that beepy sound there is a prob. But some times that beepy sound just helps get the frustration out.

I am about 25 years my trainers junior....but I ain't a dumbass.

Sonny is good. We are painting our bedroom this weekend. I am painting our bedroom this weekend. Cause we bought a new bed. Its killer.

Other news....I bought a drum carder....Its lovely.

No pictures. Cause I have not taken a picute in months....really.

I am hoping to hope back on my daily comp time when things become more normal. Or I figure out a way to put 3 more hours in the day.

Till we knit again.
This is Miss Purl signing off for the night.
Sleep well!
