Just the Essentials: My Yarn, My Needles and My Computer

I’d rather be….

Posted in: General Chatter

Actually there are are lot of places I’d rather be. The one that tops the list today, though, is Rhinebeck. It’s 12:18 pm and if I hopped in a car right now I would still have several hours to shop and wander around. There are just a couple of little problems. 1. I have two kids home that would be bored stiff after about 5 minutes. 2. Even if I were brave enough to bring my two kids on the 1.5 hour (each direction) car ride, my husband took the good car. So I am passing the time in other fibery ways.

My first order of business, today, was to get caught up on photographing my projects. Both finished and unfinished. I think I have my Ravelry list pretty well up to date.

Here are some new photos of old projects

And two WIPs that have not made it in front of the camera till today:

The sock to the left was what I worked on while stuck on a broken-down train after Stitches East. The sock on the right is a beautiful colorway. Unfortunately there are probably a million ends to weave in since the yarn appeared to have been attacked by a hungry pair of scissors. Or, probably more likely, by a certain famous cat. I’m far too stubborn to let a few snipped strands to keep me from knitting a yarn that is really pretty when worked up. Especially when the yarn was a gift from Wendy!

It does feel good to have a sense of organization. And now to pass the rest of my “not at Rhinebeck” day I will go and clean my house. Joy.
