In Which We Emerge From The Doldrums
Thu Jul 09 2009

There has been some world class production knitting going on around here in the last few days.

Here are the fruits of my labor:

I have so much yarn left over, that I am about to cast on another pair, but I will start with the turquoise yarn and the checks will be gold and black. Can you imagine that in your mind's eye? 

I think I can declare my knitting slump officially over.

Yesterday I got out my colored pencils and sketched out several ideas for book bags I want to make for the craft fair this year. Plus the plum socks are also in the knitting wings.

Whew.

That was a long and persistent slump. I hope I don't see one like that for a long time.

You may count yourself blessed that I didn't take a picture of the dew drenched, deceased mouse that Fiona left for me on the patio. I didn't see it until I had taken my first bite of mini shredded wheats while sitting out in the swing of a quiet Tuesday morning. Poor wee thing.

Now I know what Ben has been stalking over in the ivy patch. He's been spending all his spare time over there standing quietly and staring into the viney depths. And here I thought he was cocking his ears for Mr. Toad. Shows what I know.

Fiona is the one with the fortitude to take care of business around here.

The dogs think everything is just a game of chase.

Well, I must run. I have an appointment with some turquoise yarn, and some size 5 needles....

    My pretty socks need washing. Warm water, gentle soap, rinse, air dry.

    Fiona is the Queen Cat in the Yetzirah household.

    Such nice weather for sitting outdoors reading or knitting.


    Bless

    Pretty, pretty socks!
    I'm sure glad THAT slump's over.
    I was beginning to worry about you, my dear.

    Yea..... I'm so glad the doldrums have fled the scene.

    I love your bold use of color. I would have been afraid to put that combination together and yet it works quite well. I'm looking forward to seeing the next pair. I not only can imagine it, I expect to be wowed........as I'm drawn to turqoise the way you are to plum. :)
