What are you stitching/knitting
I've semi-abandoned my UFO/WIP - an old Serendipity piece. Too pink
right now. I've got two "purse" projects going while I search out some Kreinik VFB that I need for the next leg of a round robin I'm working on. What ever other metallic that will work --- I was hoping to spend time doing stash fondling while I put stuff away, but I have both my DH and DD home sick today. Cheryl |

DH has "requested" that I (we) straighten out the downstairs & my studio/office room. In his words - Can you please get all your stitching things off the coffee table, the round table, the......all over...I'm SCARED TO TOUCH ANYTHING!!!!" followed by "AND ALL THE FABRIC, QUILTING, SEWING" So, while not stitching, the next couple of evenings are planned to start organizing & layout the big space downstairs. Still sorting through stash to send away - soon will be done. I've got two "purse" projects going while I search out some Kreinik VFB that I need for the next leg of a round robin I'm working on. What ever other metallic that will work Working on a little heart ornie for a group thing, should be done today. And starting a 2nd colorway of a little teaching project. Knitting - finishing a set a cabled longish wrist cuffs. I couldn't do the first ones in public as I had to work thru the thumb seaming which happens in process - but now I'm ok with it. So about to finish the first pair, and then I'm going to do another pair - the wool is a really soft alpaca in deep, bright red (for the CAPS). I was hoping to spend time doing stash fondling while I put stuff away, but I have both my DH and DD home sick today. Cheryl I'm sorry about the sick thing. I'm in round 2 of DH's winter virus that he gave me. According to the doc when I saw him last week, he thought I looked unwell, and after looking at my first set of labs declared virus. If not feeling better soon then I'll have to go see him again. Oh, well. Just feels like sniffles & a little draggy. But, on the whole - it's not so bad. Poor DH is teaching this week - and the fed govt opened at 11 yesterday - announced in advance - because of the icey roads. He & training head decided to postpone class to start til today - but his goofy colleague actually drove in early - thinking "I wasn't sure if they really meant it" about the OPM announcement. And then decided to contact people and do the class - even though DH (the lead & the training dept guy had said otherwise). So DH hustled in to get there to start the class at 11:30, turns out 2/3 of the class couldn't actually get there so, voila - started early today. Crazy foggy here - looking out the office window (upstairs) I can see the house across the street - but not really into their backyard - or the houses further (our lots are staggered so you can see fair amount of green space).

I was hoping to spend time doing stash fondling while I put stuff away, but I have both my DH and DD home sick today. With nothing else on the agenda today other that a few routine chores maybe, must maybe it'll get out of the bag. Everything else got put away when I cleared off the extra bed for DB when he came in from FLA for Christmas. Nancy |

And I'm stitching Dimensions Jewels Of The Orient, knitting a pair of gloves and thrumming them as I go, and knitting a pair of wool socks with wool I bought at a fleece sale last year and spun on my Sleeping Beauty Traditional Saxony wheel.

Maureen I want to learn how to spin, how nice to go from fleece to your own clothing. Up the street neighbors are involved in 4H and actually "own" two sheep at the local AG school. And they get the most of the wool. These are dairy sheep - so it's not great wool. Cheryl |

I'm finally getting back to doing some stuff. Janet sent me several
lovely cat kits that I would like to start work on but thought I should actually finish off the last of the seasonal bell pulls from Calico Crossroads. I'm working on the SPRING bell pull and started stitching the I. I'm using Dinky Dyes variegated silk for the satin stitched letters and then various other silks and perle cottons. I've got the other three seasons finished -- photos at my Webshots album -- and have been trying to get this last one finished for about for years now! I have a needlepoint cat piece and a biscornu (Janet's B-day pressie from about three years ago now) that I need to work on, too. I have both of them started but life got in the way! i *REALLY* want to work on the biscornu so will start on that again as soon as the SP RING bell pull is finished. I have three different knitting projects in the works and have barely touched any of them. One is to be a ruana made from lovely fiber I bought when I was in NH, shopping with Cheryl in autumn of 2010. Then there is the entrelok scarf that I started about this time last year. It's a VERY difficult pattern and I took a class so that I would know enough about it to be able to finish it once I was moved. The last is a tacky acrylic afghan made with variegated (purple, yellow, green, white) yarn and coordinating solids. I'm making long strips of each color -- in a different pattern so that I learn new stuff -- and will put them together to make the afghan -- IF I ever finish it. I've got the first variegated strip about 3/4 done (they will all be 2 skeins of yarn long more or less) and can find one skein of the yellow but none of the white or green. I probably packed it last spring and it's hiding in the storage unit in Magnoliaville! I also have a quilt top about 1/2 finished and I REALLY need to make a baby quilt for my DNephew's first baby -- due to be born next week. I don't think I will get that one finished in time since I haven't even started work on it!!!! AH well -- I'm having trouble getting motivated to do much besides sit here messing with the comoputer or staring at the boob toob in the evenings. If I didn't have to feed the animals, I would likely do nothing at all most days. WAIT -- that's what I am doing -- LOLOL! CiaoMeow ^;;^ PAX, Tia Mary /\___/\ |
