Maybe I'll be a Weaver someday.......

By -
Kimberly of Woven'nSpun was my picnic swap partner. I am amazed. She wove the scarf for me and also sent a skein in the incredible colorway you see. She dyed the yarn herself. Now, I do come from a line of basket weavers, the Hungarian side of course, but if she tells me she wove the beautiful project bag too, I'll fall over in my knitting rocker.

The picnic package had many other fun themed things, that I will share as I use them. Kimberly you outdid yourself. The colorway is my favorites all beautifully blended together. (Lynn will be jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love when Lynn is jealous..)

Maybe I'll learn to weave someday. I've been inspired.

I am so glad that you liked everything. It was a hard but fun theme and I enjoyed every bit of it. I did not weave the bag, I must admit, but it really spoke to me for your picnic. And to answer Bernadette, I do indeed knit. Right now we are on vacation and "the sock" is on tour. It's having loads of fun and has had several more interesting adventures. :)

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do.

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 ha...
