Well over the last few months I've been pre-occupied with work. Lots of work. Lots of stress. But in a good way. However I have trouble turning off my brain at night so I've been particularly prolific:

I did a lot of navel gazing over the last month as to why I started this blog and what I thought it should be about and now I find I'm re-energized about blogging again. So stay tuned for updates coming this weekend! ... << MORE >>

I've been blogging less and less over the last few months. I seem to have lost my blogging mojo.

When I first started this back in 2005, it was a great way to keep track of what I was working on, publish patterns, and ... << MORE >>

Well the first weekend of the race was quite productive. I have no idea who's in the lead because, well, to be honest I couldn't care less about the actual race.

I finished plying 2 bobbins of the silk merino and spun up two more that are now resting. I'll ply those tomorrow or Tuesday. This is 160 yards of fingering weight.







Today I worked on the Polwarth a bit but wasn't feeling well because of the heat wave/smog alert we're under. It's supposed to be in the 40's with the humidex - that's over 110F.

I'm participating in a challenge (you know how I love those!) this month. It's called the Tour de Fleece. It goes along with the Tour de France and we spin every day that they ride, from July 3rd to July 25th. We get July 12th and July 21st off, ... << MORE >>

When last we met, I was wrestling with Monkey Farts. I'm happy to say that the yarn which was substituted worked superbly and resulted in this FO. You'll have to excuse the craptactular photography, but there's a wicked thunderstorm going on and I have one hell of a migraine. ... << MORE >>

I don't know why it popped into my head yesterday, but it did. "This knitting looks like Monkey Farts". I reached out to the innerweb to confirm and while they were all polite, the consensus was that yes, it did have a certain odour to it. ... << MORE >>

I had a getaway weekend with Keziah and when I came back (late coming and going thank you very much VIA Rail), I was exhausted. I heard my stepson mutter something ...

Yesterday was a cold and rainy day. Perfect weather for thinking of wool and fibre. Kay, Sandra, Pirk and I met for our annual pilgrimage to the Knitter's ...

I bought new shoes last week. Which meant that Clancy got a new box (she has a *bit* of a fetish). She is a 12 lb Maine Coon that is 18" long from nose to butt.
