Twenty questions.....well not quite!

By -

So this roving was in the swap box when it arrived at my house. I LOVE the colorway....so I've never spun. I always planned to learn......but later. So plans change right?? Who amongst you spins??? Who put this gorgeous roving in the box? Is spinning difficult???




On to sock yarn. Oh this is simply delicious sock yarn. I love the colorway.. .mine all mine
Who put this in the box? You gave me a thrill! Yippee I will make socks with this yarn. I will probably make a faux cable for the sock body.....Who who who among You ....put it in there?


Finally this is my new lunch bag/box. I remember having a Disney lunch box with Goofy on it
riding a school bus. This one is from Lynne's etsy shop that I blogged about a few posts ago.I love the colors. So what is for lunch by you today?

I was so tempted to take the roving when the box was at my house. The box also had a "how to spin" book and a spindle. I resisted the temptation to remove all three items, but with great reluctance.

that's so funny because I put the roving IN the box because of the book and spindle!

Spinning is great - if you want another addiction that is!! It's quite easy to start on a drop spindle, but once you head down that road..... you'll want a wheel. I say - go for it!

I'm nowhere near happy with my own drop spindle skills, or lack of, but I hear it's actually not hard at all. Can't wait to see!!

I admit, I took the book and the spindle, but not the roving. I already have some roving, and I didn't want to add to the roving stash until I tried what I had. I had a feeling someone else would love to have the roving RIGHT NOW!

I put in the sock yarn, and I'm happy that you like it! I wasn't brave enough to take out the roving, I'm afraid that if I ever start spinning that will be the next addiction.

Seems you have something to try, my friend. Spinning is addictive, and relaxing. I have a wheel and drop spindles. Have to get the wheel down soon, but for that i have to wait at least until Wietse goes to school. He tends to put his hand in the spinning wheel and that hurts. But the spindle... it is an art to try to go as thin as possible, without breaking the thread. I have bison on one of my spindles - it is fun!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
